(103,856 posts)I wanted 3 girls, but got 3 boys..
Our sons were all born within 5 years, so none really ever got the "precious son routine"for very long.. We also moved 5 times (IN-KS-CO-NM-CA) within that same 5 years ..(job related)..
Our young sons had to keep making new friends,, sometimes had to share rooms..and as they grew I insisted that they do their own "stuff"..like folding , putting their own laundry away..and as they got tall enough and could reach the knobs, their own laundry too..
They all helped in the kitchen and now their wives thank me They are all excellent cooks.. When they were teens each one had his own iron, and if they wanted something ironed...well they did it
Each one had his own special talents and we allowed them to find their own way..None of them were ever pressured to do what WE wanted for them..
They grew up to be gentle, kind, men.(although our oldest is feared by his subordinates because he is the boss, and does not suffer fools lightly)
