Yes I realise not everyone agrees with the way I do things but the boys do have their jobs to do as well. They put the bins out on dustman day and put them back that night, they wash both cars once a week and clean the house windows once a month, they are responsible for cutting the grass in summer and clearing the weeds. They are also taught to respect all females, they will offer their seat to a lady if she doesn’t have one and that includes their sisters, they will take care of any lifting and moving heavy objects and carry shopping in from the car. 2 years ago I caught the boys disrespecting their sisters they were making fun of them doing their chores. Their punishment they were grounded for the entire summer holiday (6 weeks) and were made to wear girls clothes right down to their underwear and do all their sisters chores plus their own jobs for the whole summer. The girls got 6 weeks off.
That’s the creepiest thing I’ve ever heard. Making your children cross dress as a punishment. You just taught them that their punishment was that they had to be like their sisters.
With that logic you’re literally admitting that being your daughter is equal to punishment.
I disagree my sons learnt a hard lesson but they now know how to treat a lady. They stand up and open doors for me and their sisters and any female that comes to the house, they know they are also expected to do this when they are out in public and know the consequences if I find out that they don’t. They will always stand aside for us and offer their seat. I don’t care if one of them has to stand or sit on the floor so their younger sister has a chair to sit on. They also have their rooms checked by their sisters sometimes and if either of the girls considers it has not been kept tidy to her standards they will obey her wishes and tidy it properly. During social and family times together the boys are expected to treat the girls as if they are on a pedestal. And I’m delighted to say they do. We are a simple white middle class English family, nothing special, I raise my children this way as it is how me and my 2 brothers were raised. Some may think it is wrong but my girls will be well prepared to raise their own families and my boys are courteous young gentlemen a rare quality in young men these days
Yeah. The hard lesson was they had to live the life you make your daughters live.
I just hope you don’t give your girls a hard time when they ultimately choose to not live their life the way you want them too.
My daughter’s have it much easier than I did. I was the only girl I had a brother 2 years older and another 6 years younger, my elder brother had similar jobs to what my boys do then as he got older my younger brother had to help him. My little brother started school the same year I went to secondary school so my mother got a part time job. 3 days a week I was responsible for walking down the road when I finished school at 3.30 and collecting my brother from the infant school. We would go home and I had to look after him until my mother got home at 4.30. On these days I had to start preparing dinner and mother would join me when she got home and we would finish making it together. After dinner it was always my job to help mother wash up and clear away. I was also responsible for doing all the laundry for me and my brothers and ensuring we all had clean ironed uniforms on school days. Saturday mornings I had to be up at 9 and help mother with housework until midday. Saturday afternoons and Sundays I was allowed free time until washing up after dinner provided all my chores were up to date. I remember he must have been about 10 and my older brother was being quite horrible to me about having to help wash up every night. Just as what happened to my sons he found himself spending the summer holidays dressed as a girl and doing all my chores. The thing is I just got on with it at the time it was how I was raised and I thought nothing of it, and looking back now I don’t resent it one bit.
IIN I think we should bring back old fashion values

How depressing.

So you teach your kids to be sissies? That's what I'm catching
