Well, from the t-shirt:

A woman's place is in the house...

And the Senate.

No kidding, my parents as a joke asked a boy to fill it out years ago, and he did. We discovered after a few years none was true...but funny in retrospect. That being said, I will support anything my child/children wish to do, but I would be tickled pink if I had a daughter and she had the opportunity to be a homemaker. Many families cannot afford to, and I am grateful to have been raised by a homemaker.

The Annoyed Man wrote: none of the girls I (ahem) "dated" ever had to be forced into anything, and they were just as often the instigators of wrong actions as I was. It is not a period of my life of which I am particularly proud, but it takes two to tango, and the blame was not all mine. In my experience, women, as an overall gender, are not any more saintly than men, and they are just as capable of sin as any man.

I live in a community with more children than most anywhere I know. The only place I can think of with more kids per capita is possibly Salt Lake City. <zing>

That being said, I operated a business here for years that brought me into many homes. 99% of my customer were homemakers w/children and/or teenagers. Sometimes they would sit and chat with me while I worked, and I would sometimes mention I was kind of a worrier and was grateful I had a son. Now I was eluding to the fact that in my household growing up, you simply worried about boys less than you did the girls. It was a general thing, not a dating thing. These women would often echo the same sentiment. "You have more to worry about now with boys. You have no idea how aggressive girls have become this decade..it is shocking" Truth or not, it is the sentiment in Sienna Plantation, TX.

Well put! Sounds like you have a very fine son. I must admit though, even been very well read, I had to look up Lothario!

I have a son who is 20 months. I worry about him incessantly. I cannot fathom the worry I will have once he is a teenager.
Flip that situation into a daughter, and knowing what I know, and I imagine I will spend my 40's on stabilizers with grey hair.
My wife and I are trying for another. Of course I simply pray that the baby will be healthy, but I do follow up with a plea for 3 or 4 boys! I was an ADD spazz when I was a kid. My mom sometimes said "I hope you have a kid just like you."
It appears her wish was granted.

Hah, I like it!
