I agree, gender doesn't define personality! My second son is so sweet, caring and gentle. I think he's basically what people 'expect' girls to be. He has a baby doll he's had for a long time, he takes it out, carries it around and sleeps with it every night. He loves stuffed animals he's always carrying them around and cuddling them. He gives me a thousand hugs a day for absolutely no reason. He's just a sweetie pie. But at the same time he's so rough and tumble, loves cars like any other boy. And he's SUCH a ball of energy!
My first son is just as sweet and tells me he loves me a billion times a day. But he's more of a manly boy!
I just want to experience the doll side, dresses all that stuff. I'm not a girly girl by any means, I don't own any dresses or skirts to be honest. The girliest thing I do is paint my nails and wear earrings haha. I also have a SUPER close relationship with my mom (my dad too!) but I want to have that with my daughter. It doesn't happen in every instance, but often mom in law is not as included in.. Anything. And with two son's they'll both have girlfriends/wives (or boyfriends/husbands, lord knows?! Haha) who will get pregnant and have her own parents who she'll share all the news with. I'll hear through the grape vine I'm sure lol. I dunno. I just want both experiences.
