[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are some people in this forum just the worst lol.

Girl mom here and I see nothing wrong with celebrating these boys stepping in to help. Sure a few girls did too but it’s what about ism to act like it’s not mostly boys. Physically young men just have the arm and overall body strength to do it without injury or strain and most women/girls cannot. This is biology. I’m glad many stepped up. [/quote]

Thank you girl mom!

I was out shoveling with my teen boy on Monday.   We had shoveled clear on Sunday, so it was just the inches of sleet plus the snowplow mess.

It took me almost 2 hours to break through a path on the side of and right in front of my SUV, the width of my snow shovel.  My arms and shoulders hurt for 2 days afterwards.

In that exact same time, my teen boy broke through and cleared the ice bank left by the plow at the end of my driveway, and the apron of the driveway, without taking a break or breaking a sweat.

He then cleared the sidewalks in front of our house, up to the neighbor's driveway, and the neighbors wide driveway that had not been touched.  He worked for hours.

He and some other neighbor boys went in a group and started clearing older neighbor's driveways and sidewalks, for free.

Boys all over our neighborhood, from 5th grade to college, were doing this all week.  Teen boy and young men's bodies are uniquely suited for this kind of hard labor, and as a group,  they really rose to the occassion.

I can only assume that the people so offended by the idea of thanking boys for their hard work did not do any shoveling this past week.  If you spent a few hours banging through the ice layer, you could not possibly have gotten offended by a thread created to thank the young men for their hard work clearing ice.[/quote]
