I never had a daughter...as the step-mother of two sons and the mother of another son, I always secretly thought I was lucky. I watched my friends with daughters go through the teen years and was glad I didn't have the problems they had...and the hair and clothes and makeup and the hormones issues to deal with. Boys were so easy.
But now I have two daughters-in law and I am beginning to realize that I missed something after all. In the last two days, I have received wonderful newsy notes (snail mail!) from each of my wonderful daughters-in-law. They email too, of course...as do my sons....but there is something about a handwritten note arriving in the mail.....So cherish your sons and your daughters....with any luck, you will end up having both sons and daughters! And I can hardly wait for my youngest to give me another daughter-in-law!

I've got one son and one daughter and my daughter was by far the easier one. My son is like a little tumbleweed, always trying something different. I am proud of him though and love my kids equally, of course.
