[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 536148, member: 11791"] I wish I could find that article... but it talked about how a man's genes are strongly tied directly to parents, and a woman's genes are diluted. A man's Xs come from his Mom, and his Y's come from his Dad. But a woman's Xs come from both Mom and Dad. So, a daughter is going to be Dad's Xs which = his Mom's Xs, plus Mom's Xs which are half from her Mom and half from her Dad... which means the strongest single genetic influence is Dad's Mom. Make sense? Basically, either gender, the child is going to be strongly connected genetically to husband... And either way, mother in law's genes are going to show up: this generation (if Bean is a girl) or next generation (if Bean is a boy and has a daughter). YOU get to influence it all with... nurture!
