[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a boy mom and felt that it was meant to be only because I would have had no idea how to dress a little girl in bows and matching tights,(I was not that way either) so  I was blessed with boys and relate completely to that video.[/quote]

You relate to the fact that moms of girls should expect girls to clean up their own rooms, and moms of boys should whine, “I just cleaned that” instead of raising sons to clean their own rooms?[/quote]

Also I have two girls and two boys. Never dressed any of them in bows or matching tights. Did we time warp into the 50s or something?[/quote]

DP but I hate all the bows, tights, tutus, etc and ended up with a girl who wanted all those things and as much glitter and sparkle as she wanted. What are people supposed to do, refuse to let them express themselves and dress how they want? If that's what they want then you wander over to that section of the store and buy the crap. If you end up with the kid who hates it, they will let you know in no uncertain terms.[/quote]

You buy it for them and let them know that boys can like it too.  Just like we did with girls and Lego years ago we need to do with boys expressing emotions.

I’m the PP who was falsely accused of being a Trumpster. Just a note to say not all school shooters (or potential school
shooters) are male. Check out the situation at Catoctin High School in Thurmont MD a few years back (2016? 2017?) it was a case of a potential
Mass shooting from a girl.

Girls can be shooters. But it doesn’t discount that, in general, boys and girls
are different and raising them is different.

Why are all school shooters boys?  Because they are emotionally isolated.  They are actively discouraged by their parents (amd society) from expressing anything but anger "boys don't cry".  And when they show anger "boys will be boys". Such short sighted parenting.   Those parents are severely limiting their own sons.[/quote][/quote]
