[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that it's normal to feel some disappointment that you will never have a daughter. From what I hear, it typically goes away once your son is actually born. You will form a tight mother -son relationship and enjoy that instead.

The one difference Between sons and daughters in my opinion, is when they leave the home, and when they get married. Then I feel like the mother-son relationship is severely diminished as the sons get sucked into their wife's family and lose the connections with their own. This doesn't happen so much with daughters. If you were close to your daughter before they got married you will be close afterwards too.[/quote]

According to my mother, this is very true, especially once the grandkids come along. She says that it is very different when your daughter has babies v DILs having babies. And she gets along with her DILs, but it isn't the same as with me and, for better or worse, women are often the gatekeepers to the grandkids. [/quote]
