It's easier for our sons if they know basic cooking, cleaning and DIY (do-it-yourself) so that later on in their life, if they have to live alone, they can keep their bachelor pads - nice, neat and tidy. They don't have to binge on takeaways or wait to get married, expecting their wives to do all the cooking....

Type casting a daughter to be a slave and a son to be ahem, a KIA, know it all type is mostly the norm in most households- you have voiced the anguish of a mother very nicely! Teaching both to be responsible humans is the first priority!
Loved this one- I am reminded of my only grandchild- a grandson, I feel my responsibility towards him is to make him inquisitive, a bit naughty, and give him all the love, short of spoiling him, (subject to the approval of his parents- my daughter and son in law)!!!
