Absolutely ridiculous. I don't have a son. I have a daughter but I had a mother and speaking as a son we adore our moms.
Don't give it another thought.
Thank you for a guy's perspective! This post made me so happy! I hope my son always feels this way!

Please, I dread having a girl. Not that I don't want one but I'm terrified of damaging her. Ugh...just think of the teen years with your Mom... the horror!!
Bond smond...I can just see her hating me forever after the age of 13. 
Doing girlie things for 2 years isn't going to patch that one up.
Boys on the other hand...well, like other have said...there's a reason for the term "momma's boy" 
Anyway - this chick has no kids?? What does she know? 
I have a girl and I dread what is to come (The I hate you, crying, stomping feet at the mall) years. My 3 brothers are all very close to my mom.....the thought that because they are boys they couldn't be is ridiculous

I really do worry about down the road when he gets married. I mean, most of the men I know spend all holidays with the wife's family - and then visit with their families (my DH included)
I vow that I will really do my best to be a great mother in law - one that my daughter in law will want to be around. I feel that if i have a strong/good relationship with her - hopefully we will be able to be one happy family.

I have one of each. My DS is almost 8 yrs old and I have a 10 month old daughter. I love my son to pieces and we have a bond that I cannot even describe. I love and adore him with all my heart. He is the love of my life along with my daughter. No I don't do girlie things with him but we have fun in other ways. We go to the park, we snuggle, we have our own little saying. "Best Friends till the end- always and forever". We have been saying that since he is 2 yrs old. Ignore that stupid woman. She has no idea what she is talking about. You decide what kind of bond you have with your children boy or girl.

Funny that you say this - the reason i wanted a girl so badly is to have that bond, but honestly, I can't see this bond between me and Cailen ever going away - yes, it will change - but I see many men very close with their moms!!!
I think its personality more than gender....

My DH has such a great relationship with his mom..he is so much closer to her than his sister is to her, it was odd to me at first but i do know some mother/daughter relationships can be challenging.
With that being said...if i ever have a girl i will do my best to be close with her and have a great relationship...and I hope my bond with my son lasts forever...he is the light of my life!!!

I think they mean when they get older- men tend to drift off- do what the wife/girlfriend wants especially during the holidays where girls tend to always stick around.
but from what I have read on LIF- there are a TON of mama's boys.

I hate when I hear that the sons drift off and do what the wives/gf's want. My DH's family is just as important to him as mine...so we split holidays, one year christmas eve or day at his house, the next at mine...

My theory is...a son is a son until he finds a wife, a daughter is a daughter for the rest of your life.
I kinda agree-
DS and I are very close- we have an amazing bond and he is by far a "mommas boy"
I know our bond will always remain- but I would love to have a relationship with a daughter, that my mom and I share as well..
I think as children- boys are closet to their mommies- but once they get married, their wife because their "main squeeze"
I have to agree as well - I am extremely close with my mom and would love to have the same relationship with my daughter.
I know I will always have a special bond with my sons - but i believe that there is some truth to that. I think as you grow up you become more "friends" with your mother.
I agree with this also. While I don't see my bond with my son lessening as he gets older, it will change. Once he gets married, his wife gets to call the shots, just like it is in proabably all of our homes.  We always made a joke when my brother got married that the MIL is supposed to just be quiet and wear beige to the wedding.  That is no reflection on his wife....she is wonderful, but it is just the way it is.
When my MIL has advice or wants to do something, I immediately think, no..that is not how I do it or "we" meaning my mom and I do it. So, in a nutshell, I'm very happy to have a boy and a girl so when she has babies I can be a huge part of it, etc. No way was my MIL coming near me while I was in labor...but my mom was allowed. Its just the way it is, IMHO.

I grew up with 2 brothers, DH grew up with 3 sisters, so we were both the minorities in our families. DH grew up a "mama's boy," but I grew up very independent. I was the tomboy, I was loud, I didn't mind getting dirty, I hated dresses, I was never the definition of "daddy's girl" (don't get me wrong, my dad and I are close, but our relationship wasn't that stereotypical). My mom and I are extremely close now, and my brothers are very close with her as well, especially now that one of my brothers has his own baby. DH is very close with his family as well, and although I cannot stand his sisters at times, his mom is wonderful and I respect and admire his relationship with his parents.
Like everyone else said, every child is different. If you build that special relationship with your child, it is something that can never be broken.
