[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom of two boys ages 7 and 11. Yes, you need to lighten up. In fact, I use that expression myself. We all have a good laugh. Girls and Boys are different. Nothing wrong with that. And BTW, this is part of teaching my boys to ADORE girls.[/quote] Time to grow up and stop using that expression. Saying something like, "You throw like a girl," is meant to be derogatory and an insult to the boy. It also belittles girls in that the expectation is that they cannot do what boys do. OP, I don't like the phrase either. I would correct my own kids, but I'm not sure how comfortable I would be in correcting other people's kids. Are the parents around when the kids say this?[/quote]
