Thanks. And sadly, all true, and confirmed by the household. 🙂

I can’t tell if that is how Father will respond. Grew up with none. Sharing with the family. Thanks.

Sorry to hear that Perpetua. I can’t tell you how all Father’s respond. Just this one.

[…] Mom vs. Dad, a non-scientific approach. […]

That’s funny…and, yeah, so many of us are from broken households. I did not have a father figure…it was all my mom, and even with me, I raised my kids, all three of them, pretty much on my own. I fell kind of in the middle on a lot of those things. Some of those are really funny though. I have been known to ask my daughter that same question…”Are you wearing your underwear???!!!” 🙂

Kudos to your Mom. What a great job she did! And sounds like you had to play both sides of the Mother Father drum…and it’s workin’

Thanks David… 🙂

Amazing I could literally hear you say every line in the Dad column. What trauma I’ve had to endure in my career 🙂

Laughing. Yet look how well you turned out! And I’ll take all the credit. 🙂

This is why ideally we have two parents, so they can balance each other out. Too much of either one would be a disaster but a balance is perfect.

Exactly. The ying and the yang. 🙂

“Don’t eat that you’ll get worms” – Mom
“A few worms never hurt anyone” -Dad!
(when eating vegetables straight out of the garden and cleaning them by wiping the dirt off on our shirts!)
This one’s a classic 🙂

I’ve never heard of that one MJ. Classic. Esp the “few worms never hurt anyone.” I can hear this… 🙂

he was a Farmer and believed that nothing bad ever came out of the earth 🙂 MJ
PS – you’ve likely seen coverage of the Alberta floods … well my family farm is located along the S. Saskatchewan River, just north of Gardiner Dam. They’re letting water go at record speeds to accommodate the flood waters. This video shows my home country, and those hills are where I used to ride my pony!
Laughing out loud! 110% right 😀 specially “Turn down the gangster music” (My father hates loud music and one day he refused to play my youngest brother’s favorite song and said he will break the CD. My brother replied, “It belongs to my elder brother” Father got angry and threw out the CD from car).

Hilarious. I can see me doing that!

You too? Haha.

So glad to know that this is universally true! 😀
If possible please check my latest post Resilience, I trust you will enjoy it, if so please leave your feedback there, thanks

Very cute – so much for the imperative that parents always be in sync – it’s not possible.

Correct. And Mom needs to get to the right side.

That’s what my husband said.

Laughing. So true!

That just about sums it up, probably because men are from Mars and women from Venus, and our children are an extension of those gender dynamics!

That’s right Sarah. Acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree.

You mean, no one in your house said “because I said so, that’s why!”? Wow, your kids are lucky…..:)

I so missed that one. That is a staple. No, I don’t need to explain why. I said so.
Hilarious! Thanks for the laugh!! 😀
