I want two or three daughters, since I grew up with two brothers. Part of it is insecurity on my part, as I am not a physical guy and feel that I won't have anything in common with a son.
My dad isn't/wasn't either and it just meant I'm woefully incompetent when it comes to "manly" skills and pursuits. Never had anyone to play catch with in the backyard when I was little. Never learned the right way to throw a football. Any knowledge of tools or home repair that I have I learned from a combination of Google and trial and error. I have no clue how a car works. I had to learn to tie a necktie using a guide on the Internet.
