[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love my mom, but I can truly say I don't have any unspoken bond or connection with her.  I wish I did, especially now that I am a mom myself, but our personalities were just too different.  I do have a bond with my dad, perhaps because we are more similar.

I'd also add that it's not true that sons cannot have a close relationship with their moms.  They may not go to spa appointments with you, but they can certainly have an unspoken connection/bond with you.  Don't let the fact that they are boys and not girls blind you from the chance to build that special bond.

I hope my sons have a close relationship with me, but I do believe there is a difference with a mom and daughter. Maybe it's something you only know when you have it -- but truly, [b]my own relationship with my mom is a cornerstone in my life[/b]. Something about the continuation of life and mothering, I think.

This is such a weird thing to say.  My relationship with my mom is a cornerstone in my life but my relationship with my dad is a cornerstone as well.  My husband's relationship with his mom is one of the most important in his life, as well.  We only get two parents and it is normal that these relationships are central to our lives.[/quote]

It's not weird at all. If you have such a relationship with your mother, you know what OP is talking about. It doesn't take away from a relationship with a father but it IS different.
