76. My boys are being taught the skills necessary to live

On their own in the world.

This includes cooking, sewing, ironing, as well as basic maintainence tasks.

They aren't very far in as they are only 9, 8, and 2, but they will know all the things they need to to be independent young men.

They have no concept of "women's tasks" and "men's tasks" as all work in our house is shared. Daddy cooks and cleans, Mommy cooks and cleans, we both sew...though auto maintainence is pretty much Dad's job since I don't really care for dealing with it.

OH, and I have no clue what Lamingtons are...
