why are men so awkward?

I might have said this before, but it's my impression that my DSs and their peer group are far more domesticated than their dads' generation. Is that down to us, their mothers or to the feisty young women they've wound up with?

Last Christmas I had two Christmas dinners (separated by a few days), one cooked by DS, one by DSiL. Can't say about DSiL, but I was determined that any potential DiL was not going to accuse me of having brought up a man who couldn't cook or do his own washing.
