[quote=Anonymous]I don’t have a lot of answers for you, but I can attest to a very similar experience. DD (17) identifies as queer and says she likes men and women (she said this out loud at her first gyn appt recently). I read some of her HS writing assignments and she discussed not liking the expectation at her grandparents’ house that the women cook and do the dishes and the men stay at the table and chat. But I’m sure there is plenty of other info influencing her thoughts besides her home experiences.

In our immediate family, I am not at all girly (I am not super-focused on fashion or my appearance, plus I love tools, cars, and help DH figure out car repairs) and DH is very domestic compared to my father and brother (he happily cleans our bathrooms, vacuums, cleans up after dinner, etc). So it’s hard to think she gets her ideas from our nuclear family.

I also feel very behind the times, but am trying to learn. I feel like making an effort to understand goes a long way. Fortunately my daughter is happy to keep explaining things to me![/quote]
