[quote=Anonymous]I also have one boy, by choice as I am younger.

He is mid-elementary aged now.

He is "all boy" and most of his friend are as well. Let me tell you, never ONCE did he or his friends decline baking cookies with me yet.

He is snuggly, and still holds my hand. Last night we walked outside after dinner and held hands some of the way. He is embarrassed when I just show up at school, but that's normal for any gender!

Personally, I enjoy what he enjoys. I like video games, I like to play Battleship, I like reading his books, and I like going to sports games and kicking the ball around. I might not feel the same way if I had daughters, but I find young girls too squawk-ey for my taste; I would rather yell "hey - be quiet and calm down!" during play instead of "stop your normal annoying voices and talking about princess role play games I don't care about!" Your mileage may vary.

I don't know if the trope is true that "boys love their moms" but mine does, and that seems to be typical to me.

I can't speak to the adult experience as my child is young, but I have a feeling if you foster closeness and are nice, your son will pick a nice partner and remain close to you. [/quote]
