[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think there is a perception that, once grown/married, a girl will typically remain closer to her family and a boy is more likely to be closer to his wife's family. I am not sure why that stereotype exists, but that is the perception. So I think some people prematurely grieve a future they think is less likely to exist if they have a boy.[/quote] The stereotype exists because so many men leave the mental load to their wives. So the wives plan holidays, family dinners, etc. around what suits her family, her preferences, her traditions. I told DH I will make plans with my family and he can make plans with his. Guess who we see more of?[/quote]
