- I would think so, though I can't really relate. Have a DS and would be totally thrilled to have another.

    - I guess I'm afraid my boys won't share their feelings with me or will marry daughters-in-law who want to move or won't let me see the grandchildren and no wedding dress shopping or watching cheesy chick flicks I so enjoy or being able to use my experie to advise a daughter. And ballet class. I do love a tutu.

  - I think a lot of people have fear of the unknown (little boys); also to live vicariously and see a dd enjoy the same things they did -books, characters, etc... and yes the closeness they are supposed to share, but lord knows I don't have that w/ my mom

- I think many people grow to accept it, but never fully get over it. It's possible to love your boys like crazy, and still wish you had a chance to experience mother-daughter bond. Hearing "at least they're healthy" doesn't always help. It does get ea though
