I need to put this somewhere

and I've chosen here

I know there will be many many posters who disagree with me and tell me I'm wrong, but I need to put this down somewhere, even if no one understands

I couldn't even write a header for it as anything I write sounds like I'd change my boys, which I wouldn't, ever.

I have 2 boys who I couldn't love more or be more proud of, I've supported them all their lives and always will. I've stood at more pitches than I can tell, spent more on tickets, than I can begin to say, I'm just setting the picture incase someone comes on and says oh get a hobby with your boys/spend time with your boys etc etc

basically, I'm envious of friends with girls....and the close relationships they seem to have....and I'd like it for myself

I don't have any female relations, not mum etc etc and no girls in my family

I have friends, don't get me wrong, but now our kids are in their late teens/early twenties, I hear so much of what my friends with daughters do together and I just yearn for that, just a bit of that

as I said, and I cant empathise it enough, I love my boys and wouldn't change either one for every girl in the world, but I listen to what my friends are doing with their daughters, afternoon teas together, going for spa days, cocktails, make up shopping, ......and I'd just love a daughter to do this with, mind you I'd love a close sister to do this with as well, or a mum.

I suppose it's similar to a dad with only daughters who'd love a son as football mad as them, when their wife/daughters don't like football

I know MN will be full of mums who go to spa days with their teenage son etc etc but I don't and I'd just love a girl who wanted to go with me

I completely get youOP..As i was sporty,not into hair/make-up/clothes growing up&i thought i wouldve been ideal as a mum of boys(wow stereotyping much!)but had a daughter who rocked my world instead..we're really close-she happily tells anyone im her best mate&we share similar interests-nature,ecology/environmental issues,watersports,travel&t.v shows..so none of the 'high tea&spa days/make-up'for us😊just two girls who genuinely love hanging out..i prefer her company over other girlfriends&have NEVER envied them their sons&house-fulls of testosterone,
agression&loudness..Just feel blessed with what i got.
