This has been posted by two people on my social media:

In short: boys are messy, boys are dramatic (it's not just girls who are drama queens, LOL), boys like food and boys like being nude.

So pissed off with shit like this and the thousands of people who 'like' it whose kids are pigeonholed right from birth into messy and rowdy boys or nice, groomed, my-little-pony playing girls.

You missed out a 't' in "not".

No.its not an omission

Then you need to go back to school to learn English.

Not at all.you need to understand dialect variance and colloquialism
Maybe enrol in the but theres a t in it module

"dialect variance and colloquialism"

Or to put it another way, Scottish slang.

Like I said, go back and learn English.

Again,no.do read up on dialect,linguistics and culture it explains variance
And youll no go far wrong if you do some readin

Gonnae no dae that Vialcuwubi!

What's flown up your nose Vila? This thread's not about grammar, it's about stupid 'boy' generalisations on fb etc.

Oops

Vila, where are you from? Perhaps we can all take cheap pot shots at you. A little respect goes a long way....

On yersel, Scottish mummy.

Smug article. I don't think my ds does any of those things.

Reminds me of when I went to stay with an ex bf's family. They were v "traditional"; I remember they campaigned against women priests in the CofE.

When the meal was being prepared, all the men sat around whilst the women did everything.

4. Don't teach them to not hit girls, teach them to not hit. from me

Gender specific lists are dreadful.perpetrating tired gender stereotypes from scottishmummy

Maybe go back and learn to read, as you are making yourself look like a massive cunt?

Was your boyfriend like that grey or just his family?

I never know what to do in those situations as not offering to help and sitting with the men folk is just not an option in my mind (because I'm not rude). But will still wind me up that the men are sitting their on their asses not even feeling the need to help.

Don't forget teaching your sons not to rape and teaching them not to hit girls/women (but telling them it's fine to hit other males).

Does anyone else find it endlessly fascinating that men can blame women for men being violent towards other men

"and you'll no go far wrong"

Makes perfect sense to me- but then I'm Scottish.

I read this too yesterday. Don't wrap your willy around your fork made me laugh, however I do think a better lesson would be- put your clothes on at the table,there is no negotiation.
I have 3 boys and they are regulars at getting naked at any oppourtunity. I think that it's healthy that they aren't body concious and feel it necessary to streak.

Teach them to respect their surroundings and help make it home. All kids and adults make mess, everyone just needs to tidy up. And I must add,some relatives of the female and male kind have made more mess than my boys and have refused to help tidy. Is this not a parenting thing rather than a gender thing?
Respect people and be considerate and patient. Learn to forgive but not to be a walk over, just to be reasonable.

I think she's written it for laughs and it's not as well thought out as it could be.
