Guest guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Imagine if this woman ever really does have a daughter. Will she be on this board one day or one like it? It's like she knows her son is supposed to be a separate being and says so, but in this and throughout the article it is clear *if* she had a daughter she'd be likely to swallow her whole. A quote: " I subscribe strongly to the belief that all things have their season. It was my season for a girl. God had been right to pick a son for me first — I wasn't ready. I was ready now. I was a great mom to my son. I let him be. I let him breathe. I treated him as his own separate, distinct being. I didn't share or burden him with my terrible self-judging thoughts (the way my grandmother and mother had with their daughters). I knew he wasn't simply a miniature version of me. How could I not know, with his little weenie right there all the time?
