[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 82650, member: 3837"] This terrifies me for the later years. I have 5 boys and only 1 girl. I don't want my boys to ignore me once they marry. I want to be close to their families. I hope my future DILs are family girls. My husband takes on the personality of his SO. With his ex, he was into the clubbing scene, colored his goatee blue temporarily, wore piercings in places they shouldn't be, lol. With me he is much more of a homebody. No more piercings, well, his ears still have holes, but he doesn't wear earrings anymore. No coloring his hair and no clubbing either. I'm perfectly fine with him just the way he is. Hopefully he's not bored out of his mind with me. I can certainly see my boys taking on girlfriend personalities, but no GFs yet, so we're safe so far. It's strange, because I was just discussing how boys leave when they get married with a friend of mine. She is african/american. She said this doesn't apply to most AA moms. That boys are much closer to their moms in the AA culture than they are in the caucasian culture. She thought I was crazy when I said I worried about my boys finding a wife and not speaking to me regularly. That thought had never crossed her mind with her son. What are your thoughts? Do you see it being different for different cultures? I wish I knew what the trick was so I could be sure to instill it in my boys. [/QUOTE]
