Girls are clearly better. It is not normal not to like shopping and to avoid any excuse to do so. But if boys were into shopping as much as girls I would imagine it would be a nightmare, and extremely expensive!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-20137095804449464802009-03-03T21:05:00.000+00:002009-03-03T21:05:00.000+00:00That brings back memories of my younger brothers w...That brings back memories of my younger brothers when we were kids.

What really drives me mad is when we go school shopping he is allowed to pick out anything he likes and he does. He'll choose three pairs of jeans he wants but will end up wearing only one of them. I ask you, what is the point?<BR/>And let's talk about laundry, which is now his responsibility. Instead of collecting all of his clothes at once and washing them, he'll pick out one dirty shirt and one dirty pair of trousers and put them in the wash. When that's gotten too smelly for him, he'll wash another shirt he wants to wear and the same pair of jeans again. Ugh!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
