[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

[b]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][/b]

+1 and you are not the first person to think of this PP.

That may be true in general, but as someone who moved to DC to be near DH's family, I love my MIL and probably see her and talk to her more than my own mom. [/quote]

+1, we moved to husband's hometown to be near his family after we had kids, my MIL keeps the kids for part of each day, and is far more involved in our lives than my own mother. [/quote]
