Have 2 DDs and 1 DS. DS was quietest and gentlest of all 3 DC and still is. He was badly bullied in his first job straight from school, computer programming and ended up depressed and sad. Now in a Spanish firm who value family and holidays and is learning druidry and studying shamanic drumming. DH does not understand all of this but is accepting of it. Me I am happy he has found a way of coping with life, a caring partner and a very individual personality. His sisters were much more bossy and outspoken so I feel my experiences of living with men has been different from most. Neither DH or DS care about football, rugby, sports, boozing etc. DH was a music teacher and is quite reserved (bit too much). I'm the one who would like to go out more even to local inn for a couple of wines but no we don't do that. Wine in the house watching TV - bit boring really. Not what I used to be like! Anyway I can talk to my son the same as my daughters. If we had had another son - who knows! DGC - 7yo DGS likes playing with male friends in park, in woods, screen obviously, not football or perceived boy's games, 3yo DGS likes Disney cars, monster trucks, can run fast and kick a ball straight however in my county things like football, kiddie gym, swimming are still not open since before he was 2 so will have to wait to see if he enjoys and is good at them. Can't believe I am saying this 1 1/4 years after they all stopped!!! Anyway I think genetics plays a big part in this. You could have 4 sons and none of them able to relate to what it is like being a woman, or 4 sons who are entirely empathetic to you.
