It's just going to take time. ;)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03718645722631873821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-24991034168401383682009-11-03T16:59:28.169-08:002009-11-03T16:59:28.169-08:00Well, as you define your "job" with this...Well, as you define your "job" with this young man, I'd say you definitely have your work cut out for you. As with most things you take on, the road may be bumpy...but I'm confident you can reign this kid in. It sounds like he's worth the effort.sunflowerkat https://www.blogger.com/profile/11643564072168293568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-14523743291195600682009-11-02T09:03:55.828-08:002009-11-02T09:03:55.828-08:00Hell yes, women evolved multitasking.

Gathering the herbs, making sure that mushroom isn't one of the many that could leave half the camp unpleasantly dead, keeping the hut up, keeping the fire going, keeping the rug rats out of said fire, making sure the big kids were keeping track of the little kids and keeping the lap baby topped off. <br /><br />And listening to the guys boast about the three prides of lions they had to fight off to bring back one scrawny, undersized wilde beast.<br /><br />It's a miracle we made it off the savanah. ;-)JACKIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883028058826030899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-67104131868887933032009-11-01T15:25:21.198-08:002009-11-01T15:25:21.198-08:00There is a bit of an age factor...but, don't f...There is a bit of an age factor...but, don't forget, I've been incarcerated with women his age for the past three years. They may be way younger than I, but they still think, act, and react like <i>women</i>. Which I naturally take into account in dealing with them. <br /><br />Whereas California Chef thinks, for example, that when someone cries (as women will do when sad, angry, or frustrated) it's a deliberate effort to manipulate him rather than just a natural emotional reaction.Lisa :-]https://www.blogger.com/profile/02237889098638895390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-84964201944486820092009-11-01T13:39:53.911-08:002009-11-01T13:39:53.911-08:00Oh Yeah.

But in the world at large, I'd say it might be more about age than gender.Gannet Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16374279595560691174noreply@blogger.com
