I'm new and hoping for a boy

[Giselle2016]

Congrats on ur new baby to come! Enjoy ur girls cause people like me would die for one! Of course I know the feeling, having all of the same gender, it's only normal to want the other too, but from my observations, girls grow old with their moms and boys marry off and pretty much get busy with their own lives. Of course that's generalizing but that's the way I feel. I feel like my 3 sons will get married and I'll be left all alone.

In my husbands case and most Mom's of boys I know were very close to their Mom's. I can only think of a few who were not. I wonder where this saying came from. It seems it is more based off fear that the wife will replace you. I don't think that a Mother or father relationship could be replaced unless their was not a good relationship to begin with.

I completely agree with you KTS. Both boys and girls can be very close with their parents and in a lot of countries it is the son that stays with the parents and the daughter goes off.

I have 2 adult sons and I am still very close with them (not in a weird way). I talk to them on the phone nearly every day and they're really my truest friends.

I think this is just one of those things people say that is right up there with "are ya working hard, or are ya hardly working"...without any thought to it, just something that people have heard somewhere along the way with no basis in reality.
