[quote=Anonymous]It's just going to depend on what your child is like, regardless of sex.  All children are different, with different temperaments and, raised in different environments that foster different aspects of their personality.

I am a woman who has a terrible relationship with my mother. I rarely talk to her because it's painful.   My DH has a very nice relationship with his mother. On the other hand, she confides more in DH's sister than in him.

I have two boys and would have liked also to have had a daughter, though I also wonder if it would have been hard given how fraught my own relationship is with my mom.

I won't lie - my boys are not easy. They fight and are very messy and are difficult to motivate and they both can be quite stubborn and uncooperative.  But at the same time they are extremely different from one another. One tells me nothing. The other tells me nothing most of the time, except when he gets chatty and then tells a few things about what's going on in school. Every so often I get an impromptu hug from one and an impromptu back scratching from the other.  But they are not sentimental and I don't get any of the "boys adore their mommy" from them. But they can make me laugh and they don't care about clothes or being stylish which is a plus for me because I don't either. Also, they are interested in everything in the world and it is fun to share things with them like a love of the stars and an interest in animals, nature, and history.

Your child will be his own person and who knows what he will be like.  I hope you get a wonderful child who brings you joy.[/quote]
