OK, I'm steaming mad and I need to vent
This is from just 15 minutes ago - According to my Dad, my son has delayed gross and fine motor skills because he doesn't have a man around to rough house him. (DS has two moms) GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That logic is so faulty, I don't even know where to begin. Maybe I should toss my 2 year old DS around, wrestle him to the ground, give him a good noogie because I'm sure THAT would fix EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to break my keyboard typing this I'm so mad.
1) LOTS of boys are raised by single mothers and go on to be professional athletes.
2) Rough housing has nothing to do with fine motor skills.
3) Girls that don't get rough housed can still walk OK.
4) I do play rough and tumble with DS when he wants to.
5) Some boys have fathers that DON'T rough house them.
6) It's just plain the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time!
I'm sure you guys can come up with more. Thanks for listening. I needed to get that off my chest to some peeps who would understand
and yet still
