[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cars have become much more complicated.  My boys can do a whole lot, but there are limits simply because of the technology involved in newer cars. [/quote]

True, but my DH has taught my boys how to change the oil, change the break pads, check and top off all fluids and how to change a tire.  I got a flat a few months ago and my 15yr old put the spare on for me. I had no idea how to do it (or even how to access my spare!) but my 15yr old son did.  My DH also brings my boys in whenever he is doing anything around the house, such as plumbing, minor electrical, or any other mechanical work.

I'm grateful my boys have a traditional masculine role model to be patient with them and empower them to be knowledgeable about their surroundings.[/quote]
You had me till traditional masculine role model. My husband does all that stuff and is a fabulous cook and irons his own shirts. ( not bragging, he’s also a slob, and leaves a mess in the driveway, kitchen, garage, etc)[/quote]
