We just read this in my gender stereotypes class last week! Yes, we were by surprised some of the things on here.

Ouch......

If my MOTH tried to do this, this is what would happen to him!

Don't complain if he stays out all night?

I'd say these 'tips' were written by a man!

wheres the ad telling HIM what to do and be like?? lol

Sadly I think there are some women who believe this is the best way to have a family, they were brought up thinking this.
One is not their own person, they are robotic instead.

I know some women like that too. They are usually very pretty and well dressed, but difficult to have a conversation with. I thought it was a product of too much consumerism, but if she was brought up without any emphasis on developing into a productive and independent person, it can't have helped. Her parents did her (and your son!) a great disservice by limiting her self image like that. The modern world must be a scary place for her!

I have been recently laid off...so since I am home iI do most of the house stuff, shopping, cleaning, dumps run...meals on the table every night...fingers crossed I may be starting a new job on Monday...I can see doing the house stuff and meals if not working...but it is a lot of work keeping up a house but easier than having a full time job and then doing it all....

I remember them days.
I never saw my Mother in pants or shorts until after my Father died in 1958.

My mother was know to do this, and for the most part still does. I grew up in the 60's, thought I never really did embrace the Hippie movement, I quietly became independent in my own way. My girls are strong and confident women with a gentle side as well.
