Daughters are closer to their mother, at least in our case we have two boys. It was one of the deciding factors for us to become full time residents in The Villages. Our daughters in-law’s are great, our older son & family moved to Tennessee (from Michigan) just before I retired and our youngest married just after I retired. Wife was really close with the younger son and very happy he found a wonderful wife, but our newest daughter in-law is really close to her (large) family. Although they did make time to see us, it wasn’t enough, we would sit around waiting for a call to come for a visit or dinner, that was barley enough in the warm months and not what we wanted in the colder months. Our son was disappointed when we told him of our plans to move, but we explained that instead of just seeing them (and grandbaby) an hour or two a week we could spend more quality time with them if they would come and visit for a week or more in Florida. He said he got it and both said that after visiting here in The Villages they saw we were much happier. We keep in touch via FaceTime (to see our newest granddaughter) and had a family (both sons, family & 4 grandkids) reuniting planed, that COVID crashed. My wife says that if we had daughters we wouldn’t have moved.

I have daughters and sons. My oldest daughter is 44 and I still choke up when I hear the song by Mike Douglas, "The Men In My Little Girls Life". Doesn't help that the boy she married is named Tim. She'll always be my little girl.

My sons are also close but the relationship is a little different in that as their father my job is still to be there, teach, and support.

But a Jewiush mothers son is the KING!! LOL LOL

Jewish, not Jewiush LOL
