[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two elementary-aged sons. I love them. I am also done having kids. There's part of me that feels sad that[b] I will never experience having a daughter, with the closeness that entails: confidences, shopping, just a closer female relationship that I see all around me.[/b] In my experience, sons don't call their moms when they grow up as much, they're not as close, they gravitate to the wife's family (if they marry), etc. I absolutely adore my children, but there's a pang of sadness I feel for what I will never have. Is this normal? Anyone else? How can I confront/get over/feel better about it??[/quote] Ugh. Sexist stereotypes in 2022. Barf.[/quote]
