Did anyone watch this last night. It was fascinating. The different ways that mothers treat daughters to the way the treat their sons. No wonder most blokes grow up not doing things for themselves.

Well it's true. After 2 days the whole boys camp was starving because none of them knew how to cook (or wouldn't share food) and when the parents came in instead of showing the boys how to use a kettle (FFS!) the mothers cleaned up after them, made sure they had dry clothes and the dad's just arsed around with them outside. They learned absolutely nothing other than the woman is there to look after them.

It was only later in life I learned that I should be kicking back and relaxing and letting women look after me!!

Utensils are designed for womans small slender hands. We physically can not do these activities!

I think Cav is spoling your argument below ;D You're not in the majority though and was quite stark the contrast from the girls who were pretty much self suficent and the boys that used cold water to make a Pot Noodle because they didn't know how to boil a kettle. The fathers were just reinforcing this by letting the mothers go inside and clean up after them.

I was asked to some medical cover for the programme (being a paediatric nurse), on the set, but I couldn't do it.

Afraid that among myself and my circle of friends, it's a very definite 'Oi!' too None of us are over 25, yet we can all cook a full roast dinner, clean a house top to bottom, tend a garden (or houseplants at the very least), make a bed and explain the offside rule in no less than three different sports ;D I rather suspect that the programme makers may have deliberately chosen their families, as opposed to having a genuinely representative sample - I'd have got a kick up the arse from my dad for being that useless, and my mum would've left me to starve!

And some of these children can probably do it too but if you didn't have to you wouldn't! The mothers treat the boys different to the girls. My mum treats me differently to my brother. She's far harsher on me about domesticity than she is with my brother and I think it's because that's the way she was treated when she grew up. Her job was to look after the family.

T'was a long time ago now and in all honesty it was the best thing to happen to me in the long run. If i had stayed with her i would've been on the other side of the law that i have no doubt.
