[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Threads like these just convince me more and more that women really need to put their foot down with regards to feeling obligated to take care of aging parents. There are so many parents with similar viewpoints yet expect their daughters to be eventual free caregivers. [/quote]

Yep even the nicest most family oriented guy does jack shit for his parents in comparison to what his sisters do/are obligated to do and yet in 99% of families the SON is still the prince and it's soooo great when he comes over once in a while and takes parent to a drs appt or whatever. While the DDs who do that stuff day in and day out are JUST daughters and daughters are soooo difficult and imperfect. Daughters really need to step back and let's see how well everyone figures things out.[/quote]

Well that is what you get. Boys are expected to be on their own and independent(emotionally and financially) long before girls are. Boys are not coddled and are told to man from an early age. They are pushed/kicked out of the house as soon as possible while girls are not. So daughters and sons have vastly different experiences with “family” life from the beginning.

HAHAHA no. Don’t even start with me. My mom was still waking my younger brother up for school, laying out his clothes, packing his lunch and bringing stuff to school that he forgot when he was a freaking senior in high school. 18 years old. I literally walked uphill in the snow to get to & from my high school and had a job starting at the end of 10th grade; my parents bought my brother a car on his 16th birthday. No joke, I would come home from college (via Greyhound bus) and would have to ask my brother permission to borrow his car. And that was just the tip of the iceberg! [/quote]
