[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so amazing. Good for your DH! He’s staying healthy and modeling how to stay healthy for your children. I don’t see the down side. Enjoy him![/quote]

You don’t see the downside of a father getting competitive with his teenage sons and refusing to let them win?  [/quote]

No. Eventually they will win. But it will be earned.[/quote]

Uh huh.  
You’ve never met a dad who didn’t allow his son to be stronger than him or a mom who didn’t allow her daughter to be prettier than her? 
 
I’m pretty sure I have heard a story about this somewhere…[/quote]

Didn’t allow the son to be stronger? What are you making up? Also it’s completely different than a mom competing with her daughter to be the most beautiful.

Are you going to complain next that the dad makes more money than sons?[/quote]

The OP literally says that it feels like a competition and that it’s affecting her teen boys body image.

Why is it completely different if a man does this to his sons vs a woman doing this to her daughters?  [/quote]

Have ever been around any males?   Especially teenage boys pumping full of testosterone?

This is how they bond and form relationships.

This is why sports exist for thousands of years (before women were allowed to compete).

Men are fishing, golfing, playing something.

They are not known for book clubs or chatting about feelings or outfits or fashion trends.[/quote]
