That’s been the mentality for ages, and it will never change. Even in my family, I see now that my brother is allowed to play with girls (football/soccer and stuff) and I was always yelled at if I even went near a guy! Things I could never get away with,like talking back to parents, he does plenty! and not a word from my parents about any wrongdoing on his part! I personally hate this. I refuse to do that to my kids, and if hubby tries to, he’ll be sorry.
