Did you learn from your m-m how to....

lady love, when i was a teen, i had my m-m wait on me too. but when i reached 16, i realized that mommy cant save me any more. sure i still am close to her, but he does have to realize that he is on his own. i hope you dont get mad by me saying this. just my opinion. but if i can do it, anybody can.
 
my ****** taught me how to respect women, she would often stand at a door and wait for me to open it, she also taught me how to communicate. but both of my parents taught me how to cook my *** worked in my grandpa's resturant and my m-m was a **** girl so they both knew their way aroung the kitchen and by 4 i was learning too. im a really good cook by the way, and as far as stereotyping jobs i am a hairstylist a straight one at that, so i guess you could say i get along great with women and know how to talk to them and what they like. i can also clean and do housework but my job now is tend to quote the manly stuff since im married and my wife does most of it but i do spend quite a bit of time with my ***. my m-m did baby me and i was a total mommas boy, but everything worked out swell.
 
My m-m taught me many things...however the most important thing that I learned from both my m-m and my *** is that nothing is impossible with intelligence, determination and love in my heart.
 
I was taught how to cook, Iron, clean by my ******... Cooking, I love!! Ironing, well I like to look presentable... so it a nessacity. As for cleaning, I **** it as it was usually a punishment handed out to me after she had beaten the **** out of me!!!

One other very important thing she taught me was how to spot an Evil money hungry Bitch.... Because that is what she is!!!

That's a Merle Haggard song......

OK, so I have a Motown brain.:rofl: I don't know country well admittedly, funny though I could sing almost all the lyrics. Was just off on the singer part. Thanks for the heads up.

Why would I get mad at this? I was simply curious as to whether or not times had changed over the past generation from what I had seen. If the ******* of today are seeing that boys need to be taught as well and girls the basics. It used to be so, boys were never asked to do anything just as their fathers weren't. I have seen some really needy men in my day. That couldn't/ wouldn't even fry a egg, still of the thinking it someone should do it for them.

I am very pleased to see that most of you were taught. Like the "old" world traditions of my ****** are slowly evolving. Like I said, times have changed and its not that men couldn't move on and teach themselves, common sense carries a lot of weight. House cleaning and cooking is not rocket science, but to be totally unprepared is not good either. Its just some preparation taught at home is a good idea I feel, boys should be taught just as girls are as they grow up. I also love the banking, budget, insurance importance and other tidbits you all posted. :thumbsup: To your moms.

Again everyone thank you. I have loved the response I've gotten.
 
My ****** with the help of her ****** taught me to cook, clean, do laundry, be respectful of others, to drive. My ****** and grandmother also taught me that I couldn't depend on anyone else in the world so I had better be able to take care of myself. Of course my ****** taught me the fun things in life: hunting, fishing, baseball, golf. My parents were both in the USAF so we travelled a great deal and I got to see a lot of the country.

Well, although certainly a different approach, she did in her way teach you a lot I suppose. We all come from different areas of the world, types of ****** structures (no m-m, no ***, both, grandparents in the home) no two are ever alike like fingerprints. I guess some situations make us survivors and stronger in a sense. Those that learning how to do laundry or cooking is certainly not the lesson they need. That learning by example what not to do with ones life is a better lesson learned. Love is the main ingredient and you said she gave you that. So its all good in the end, if you have the capability to pass that on to others.

If you are a ****** of a boy, do you and your SO plan on teaching these things to your ***(s)?

Thanks in advance,

No, I'm not going to be the ******. But I will teach my ***/******** to be a complete human being, to the best of my ability.

dd is a complete self-reliant person I've ever seen. He can do whatever I can do, cook, clean & all domestic things, and sometimes better than I. He never shirked his responsibilities.

He must have been taught by his parents as I find them similar. They (not dd of coarse :D) treat me like their own ********. Sometimes they support me rather than dd, when I'm right. But they are always impartial.

I'd like to be like them. They had almost no money and still don't have much of their own. But what they have, and spread it around a lot, is LOVE.

dd has always supported me. And one thing he taught me, is to be self-reliant. He encouraged me to study and then get a job. He always wanted me to be financially free. He says Financial freedom is the only freedom.

Sorry I got carrieed away. But thank you lady to give me the chance to say this.

Thanks pd. Its the best compliment that any body gave me and my parents. Now I know why I love you so much.

Very well, where do I begin? My ****** was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My ****** was a fifteen-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My ****** would womanize, he would *****, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy...the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My ********* was typical...summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds...pretty standard, really.

Other than that, I'm pretty sure my m-m taught me how to do laundry. She sure as hell didn't teach me how to cook as I am a much better cook than she. She taught me to balance a check book, do income tax, worry about **** that doesn't matter, look at the world in somewhat of a skeptical, stand-offish way, and trust very few people. She didn't teach me a whole lot, really. m-m is certainly not the only place to learn things, from older friends I learned how to change oil, replace an exhaust system, mount tires, shoot a 44 magnum, drive a car sideways in control on the dirt, and tune up a dirt bike. From porn movies I learned that women hold a physical attraction stronger than any other ***** in the universe, and a little bit on how oral sex is administered. From experience, I learned how to treat women with respect and dignity.

Basically, a guy can learn just about anything on his own but it sure as hell is nice if you give him a head start.
 
******* can be extremely oppresive and indulging at the same time. My older ****** died when she was a *** and my ****** became a bit over-protective, without having the strength to do so. So, she waited on me and my *******, not leaving us do anything for ourselves. My ******* is not capable even setting the table (he isn't bored to do so, he just doesn't know how, and I am not exaggerating...). I, on the other hand, taught myself to do these thing, thing absolutely nessesary to survive on my own. The trouble is that my ****** is psychologically unstable, and have to care for her too. So, these latter years it's me taking care of her, not so physically, but supporting her, listening to her problems, things like that. It can be a hell of a burden...but she is my m-m and I care about her. The only problem is that she is becoming too attached to me and despite the fact that she says she wants to see me married and stuff like that, I don't really know how she will react when I will have to "leave" her.

Despite all that, she is a very cultured woman, with vast knowledge of just about everything. She taught me to love books and good literature, and above all, to care about women's problems (she has so many of those!). But she totally lucks strenght of charachter, and I fear that I might have inherited that....

Being a parent must be one hell of a job....But being a parent for your parents is even worse, believe me!
 
I learned almost everything about being an adult from my m-m. My *** left when I was 14. I saw how hard she had to work to keep up the payments on the house and to keep many of the things that we had before the divorce. I learned how to get by on less from watching her do it, and to know the differnce between what we want and what we need. She taught me how to be responsible and to do thngs for myself, like she had to for the last 5 years. But I haven't always listened to her or taken from her example, and I have had those times when she has had to put me in my place or bail me out of trouble. She did it in a good way though that showed me a better example of how to be about things. I'm the cleanest and most organized guy in my dorm, and I credit her with that completely. I also think I relate better to women than the guys I know because of her influence.
 
My m-m taught me to stand on my own two feet. I can't imagine not being able to do things for myself. Whether it's cooking a meal, doing laundry, or even doing the shopping. In fact my wife leans on me to get things done more then I lean on her. That doesn't mean I do everything though, When one of us gets a day off it's that persons job to clean, cook and do what needs to get done. Otherwise we share the duty and do the best we can.:2 cents:
 
of course all the basics: cooking, laundry, etc. i've been doing my own laundry since i was 8-9, as well as my broothers. i know full grown men that still live at home and have no idea how to was their own clothes.

but i'll say this, my parents worked as a team. i've had what i consider a good life so far and i will take all that i've learned from them and hopefully be a better person for it.
