[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This goes for fathers too, of course but the trend seems to fall on mothers.

Why is my 20-year-old DD telling me about her male friends who can’t cook, clean, book their own doctors appointments or have any basic life skills?  This isn’t all boys, but the majority.

DD was briefly dating a boy last summer and met his mother who made a comment to her like, “oh yeah, now my son won’t just eat fast food all the time now that he has you.”

Are we teaching boys to depend on their girlfriends and future wives?  I only have one kid, but I certainly taught her to never depend on any potential partner for anything other than companionship.

THe girls in their 20s I know are more helpless than the boys I know that age. [/quote]

Now who's generalizing?
