Dh and I met up with some friends over the weekend. We were chatting about their youngest child, their 1 yo dd.
My friend's dh was jokingly saying he won't allow her to have a boyfriend or leave the house until she is 40 etc etc.
I asked whether he felt similar about their ds, and he said no - he cares for them both the same, but he feels more protective of their dd.
He went on to say that we (dh and I) wouldn't understand as we have 3 ds's. And it wasn't until they had their dd that he felt this different level of love and how precious she is.
What is this all about? I have heard this a few times now, from various people regarding their daughters.
Aibu to think this is odd? I worry about all sorts of scenarios for my dc and don't see how the sex of a child influences this.....
I realise I might be overthinking this!
