haha

I also think parental low expectations aren't helping their boys. But, some of it is just personality.

I have both a DD and DS.  DS is away at college.  He is going to live off campus this year, with a full kitchen, and he is determined  to cook for himself.   I think that novelty will wear off quickly.  Even so, I know DS can take care of himself.

DD is in HS, and right now, I'm not sure that DD can take care of herself when she goes away to college.  She is way more immature than DS was at the same age.  Hoping DD will grow up in the next two years. We shall see.

Boys tend to mature slower than girls, so it may be that most boys aren't quite ready to take care of themselves when they go off to college, but you just have to let them flounder and figure it out.  I'll have to do the same for my DD, but it does make me worry.[/quote]
