When raising your children.....

I have a couple of questions I would like to asK

1. Will you be more strict with your daughter than your son? I mean giving her shorter curfews,not allowing her to go out as much

2. Will you only teach your daughter to cook and do household chores, not your son?

These may seem like silly questions, but I have noticed with some of my friends who have brothers, there was a distinct difference in how they were both raised. The sons were allowed to run wild and pretty much have no responsibilty,while the daughter was raised quite the opposite.

Forgive me if I am generalizing,but I see this alot.

As for me I plan on not doing this with my son and daughter.

(was never an issue in my house since my parents had 3 girls, but that meant we mowed the lawn and shoveled the driveway as well as cleared the table after dinner)

ugh Lisa...I sometimes wished for a brother to mow the lawn!!!!

can someone help me with the gun issue? DH is an avid gun collector and shooter...member of the NRA and everything....and he wants to have guns around the house and educate our children about them...I don't like it at all...

the guns are in AZ right now (where DH has his gun permit)...but what if he starts to pursue having a gun for our house???? He knows I HATE them...I won't touch them and after hours of begging i still have never shot one...I think I would die if I had a gun in my house
