    A friend of the Mother of the Bride will say:

    "You're not losing a Daughter...you're gaining a Son!"

    In reality, it should be said:

    "You're not gaining a Son...you're losing a Daughter!

    Sooooo, you are condemning the use of “dad” or “mom” by a daughter in law or son in law ?
    Wow, I guess I’d better inform my wife’s daughter in law that she shouldn’t call her mom any longer and then I’ll notify my step son not to call his father in law, “dad” any longer.

    In a day and age when women keep their maiden name, I believe your analysis to be slightly askew.

    Bobby, I'm not condemning anything!

    I'm only re-printing what I read before about "losing a daughter"!

    So please don't be so quick with your shotgun!:eek:

    Maybe “condemning” Was a rather harsh word to use Hal and for that I do humbly apologize.

    Now, perhaps if you wrote something akin to: I heard that or I read that or even Joe Doe wrote that, I would know that it isn’t your own thoughts at work.

    Bobby, those were absolutely not my thoughts! I read it before, and someone also mentioned it at my Daughter's wedding, and I just remembered it.

    Awwww.....what a thing to tell a dad. Good news though, contrary to their beliefs, you still have a daughter and I’m sure she loves ya.

    A son is a son until he takes a wife.
    A daughter is a daughter all of her life.

    @Beth Gallagher there is so much truth to that having raised three sons and seeing them with their families. The bond is there but as their mother I relate to them as they are 'men' first and sons second.
