Hi EU,
What do you exactly mean by 'different things'? |

Hi Pamela,
Thank you for your message. I am sorry to disappoint you, though: I don't think I need to explain what "different things" could be. I am sure you can figure it out by yourself.

Hi EU,
You're right. If I had kids I could teach them to do many different things that I'd consider to be essential for them to be taught to. :) |

Hi Pamela,
Does that mean that the boy would learn the same things as the girl?

| Not always. Entirely depends on the thing you are going to teach your child, EU. Say, boys and girls can be taught to drive a car, but knitting only girls. I can hardly imagine a boy knitting a sweater. :lol: |

Hi Pamela,
Do you have a problem with men who enjoy sewing and knitting? What if your son specifically told you he wanted to learn how to knit a sweater?

| No, I don't, but it seems not so natural (usual) to me, though. If my son was willing to be taught to knit anything, I would have no objection. |

I think there are a lot of different things between girls and boys,
but in the same time there are same things which we'll teach them for two genders.
for example:
two genders must learn and study and work.
I'll teach my kids that

I would hope that people have gotten well past the belief that certain activities/skills are gender specific.
I would certainly teach my children what most consider "life skills" regardless of gender association. |

That's exactly what I think as well!

My 16-year-old niece just loves driving her dad's tractor, but my nephew hasn't shown any interest in it whatsoever. However, I think that's mainly because my nephew finds tractors to be generally "uncool". 8)
