Toys?

Would you buy a baby doll for a little boy to play with or a toy car? Would you purchase a tool set for a little girl or a play kitchen? I know how most people would respond, but if you think about it, when we become adults, there are more responsibilities that pertain to "mom and dad duties" , than what we raise our children to know. I would teach my kids that there is no such things as a man or woman's duty since both should equally bear the load. Men have a mis- perception, thinking that the woman they marry will clean up after them and be the "mom" that they had growing up, don't bet on it. Women expect a man to be Mr. fix-it with things around the house, but that doesn't always happen. Raise your kids to be able to hold their own.The bottom line is both genders should equally share the load.

  1. My father always shared household chores with my Mom, often voluntarily clearing the table and doing dishes. She in turn helped with outdoor chores. I was raised to believe men and women are partners.
