[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please try to show some compassion for those of us who don’t see this stuff right away. Societal pressure is insidious, and we often don’t know how much we absorbed. Growing up, my mom exchanged letters weekly with her mom and sister, and later my dad’s sister. They’re the ones who send the birthday cards and Christmas presents and wedding gifts. My mom subtly pressed my SIL on why she and my brother never sent thank yous for their wedding gifts. We didn’t always have role models for men doing this kind of work. So don’t hate on OP for coming to it later. There are plenty of women (and men!) who never get it at all. [/quote] I don’t think anyone “hated on” OP. They just shared their own experience navigating this dynamic. And some of us had the experience of growing up with these same expectations, but never picking up the rope for whatever reason. It’s not “hating” on anyone to share one’s own experience. [/quote]
