[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't marry lazy men.  Make sure they know how to take care of themselves; ask about their debt and spending habits.  You can't change a man.  Marry the man who is, not who you think he can be.   [/quote]

Wow, this is exactly what I tell my son.  I tell him don't marry a lazy woman.  Don't marry a woman who does not want to work. Make sure she has her own money and is not dependent on your money alone because you don't want that stressor in your life.  Find out about her debt and spending habits.  Don't marry for looks but love and remember, you can't turn a stripper into a wife.  You can't change a woman.  Find out her relationship with her family and how she treats them.

I guess we are telling our children the same things, whether they are boys or girls.  [/quote]

I'm PP who wrote the original you quoted.  I agree, I would tell my DS the same thing.  But in my generation, more men do not know how to take care of themselves (cooking/cleaning - that type of thing), than men, hence the advice to my DD.

We are teaching our DS to learn how to cook, clean, do laundry. DS is doing very well in school (in a gifted program).   We are teaching our DD to try hard in school and go to college.  My DD is obsessed with Disney Princesses so, I am also stressing to her not to look to a man to rescue her.   So far, she's doing well in school and seems to care about getting good grades.
