Advice about my children

[Rosesandpears]

Hello, I enjoy reading Feminism chat, but never posted before. I am mum to two young boys and have recently gone back to work part-time to a professional job. My husband works full time. We share household chores evenly, but I am obviously at home with the children more and do the majority of the 'wife work'. I have no plans to return to work full time until they are much older. I want my sons to be feminists, and my husband is a great role model, but we are not planning any more children so they will be growing up in a male dominated household with parents in traditional roles. Any thoughts/advice how I can encourage feminism? Thank you.

I focused on consent with my children of both sexes. But they also grew up watching us not acting out all the stereotypes which is just as important.

Yes there are a couple of things each of us hate doing but by and large they watched us both tackle anything around the house and not assume the other parent will do certain things.

My late DF who would be 89 if he were still alive was one of several boys. My GM didn't have time to act as housemaid to a house full of men and they all learned as children to look after their own clothes, cook, iron, clean etc. I cannot ever remember him regarding standard household tasks as women's work, despite being quite old fashioned in many ways.

My DGM was my role model :D

Important points and advice. Thank you

Your DGM sounds great.

this is all great advice, and I'd like to add (and sorry if it seems obvious/unnecessary)- make sure that the relationship your dss see is a respectful, loving one, including that you can resolve differences and express anger without getting aggressive.
