Having a boy hits different

I had a little girl in 2021. This year I had a baby boy and it feels so different. I feel much more protective of him. I think about his future and how I wont be his number 1 girl and I get this gutted feeling in my stomach. But I also know I don't want to be like my MIL that is so dependant on my husband. With my daughter I think about her future and getting married and it puts s smile on my face. When i think about that with my boy I want to cry. Does anyone else feel this way?

Idk where to start but I’m a mom of two boys and please don’t be the weird boy mom don’t put reputation on us like this lol 😂 it’s okay care for your kids have protectiveness but he not ur number 1 girl now or later that’s ur baby daddy job make u feel that way lol ur there mother like u shouldn’t feel all jealous all that if your son gets married but ur daughter ur happy like be happy for both of them they’re both your children and u should be proud both in the future. If you don’t get what I mean by the weird boy mom go on tik tok look it up like lol u also need protect your daughter and have same protectiveness it’s scary out here for girls and boys both of them shouldn’t be a pick and choose. Ik when I have a girl it’s same way with my boys I’m protective in general people are weirdos in the real world and both genders In the dating world can be toxic so as mom gotta protect them and guide them both. Just my opinion, not attacking or trying be harsh.

@Salena Sanchez yeah I guess I worded that wrong. I just like the fact he needs me now and im sad that someday he won't. I really dislike the cringe moms on tik tok lol and I vowed I will never be that way. I'm just sad I won't always be the one he goes to for help. My daughter has always been so independent. I feel like when my daughter finds a man she will not settle and I don't want my son to settle either and I guess that's why I feel that way. I vowed though already I won't be the reason his relationships dint with our because I don't want him to be alone. I want him to be happy.

I understood what you meant @Alyssa. I also have a daughter and just gave birth to my son. It’s not that you’re trying to be one of those moms that can’t let their son’s go. It’s more so that our girls tend to stay closer to home, even when they have huge milestones like having a baby. The maternal mother typically is the one in the labor room etc. Whereas with our sons we have to let go and allow them to be a husband. Please their wife and lead their family, etc. I get it completely. To be honest, I just try not to think deep about it and focus on raising him to be a great man and hope that he wants to still come around when he’s older with a family.
