Our son is 21 years old and I enjoy every minute of his life, but the one crucial thing about raising a son is recognizing how crucial his father is to making him a man. I cannot make my son a man in the same way that his father can, I don't know "manly stuff." This began with my having to let him go at about the age of 7-8 to really be with his dad. Such silliness on my part and selfishness too, to want to be the one in control of our child. So I would say that as the mother of a son - never be afraid to trust your partner and cut those apron strings.

Motherhood shakes you down to your inner core more times than I'd like to admit. And, the comic that we always quote is an old Baby Blues, "Let's have two she says. They'll be best friends, she says" as the kids are arguing in the background. Heh. both of my kids are challenging in their own ways.
