Today’s question comes from reader Jen.

You, like me have 1 girl and 3 boys. Do you feel you have a different kind of “bond” with your daughter? Don’t get me wrong, I love all my children equally, but for some reason my daughter and I share something different. Maybe it is because she is the only girl, but we have a Mother/Daughter relationship and then a friend relationship. As her mom she respects me, but as her friend, she tells me everything, and isn’t scared to share things with me.
I don’t want to wimp out and not answer the question, but I think I’ve already somewhat explained it with this post from 2009. Please click the link and read that post and click on the link in that post to get to the answer.
Sounds convoluted, but I swear, it will answer the question and be worth it.
(And if you still feel like I haven’t answered to the best of my ability, I’ll be happy to expound further at another time.)
