[quote=Anonymous]I have boys and know a lot of other families of boys. Our kids make beds, help unload the dishwasher, take out the trash, fold laundry, scrub toilets, etc. same as I would expect a daughter. I don’t doubt the studies, but I think they’re old and imagine don’t apply to more highly educated households aware of gendered stereotypes. Also, in my house DH and I both work. So my boys are growing up to see a mom who has important meetings to get ready for in the mornings and a dad who handles kid sick days and grocery shopping. There is no gender divide here except for when physically necessary (my DH can lift heavier things than me). [/quote]
