[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 613479, member: 1550"] When I was young enough to have kids, like AGES ago :), I wanted only boys because I had been so difficult myself and felt that boys were easier. Plus I loved sports and girls were not actively involved in sports at that time. I had three boys...36, Scott and Sonic. None cared much for organized sports. Scott was a great athlete, but on principal did not participate in school sports. And there wasn't much else. 36 was a decent athlete, but had too much anxiety to play in front of a crowd, so he quit. Sonic isn't the least bit interested in even watching sports. And, of course, 36 and Scott were not good relationships for me and 36 is by far my long term most difficult child. I now prefer girls. I find it so much fun to have adult daughters. We can shop, talk about hair and clothes and babies, and it seems like I have a special bond with the girls that I don't share with the boys. Also, once 36 married, his wife seemed to be the one in control and he pulled away. But with Julie, even though she has a partner of eleven years, which is longer than 36s entire marriage, we are still close and always in touch. I have learned to prefer girls to boys because, in the long term, I think girls are closer to their moms (selfish, I know). Whether it's true or not, I don't know, but it's how I feel. Plus it would be so much fun to dress and fuss over a little girl grandbaby. Of course, good health is the most important consideration. In my world, I have found that this is true: "A son is a son till he gets him a wife; a daughters a daughter the rest of her life." I hope Julie can enjoy the closeness and warmth of a little girl. She is very shy and has felt lonely in her younger years. I don't want her to ever feel lonely again. I love my boys (even 36), but I cherish the bond I have with the girls. (Of course difficult child girls and boys break all the rules, but my girls are not difficult children, at least not anymore). [/QUOTE]
