I saw some of this over the holiday break. Specifically, it was one woman talking about her adult sons. On the one hand, her first born son was always an athlete/cut-up in school. Constantly in trouble. Went to college and was in a frat and even took an extra semester to graduate. She thought he would continue being wild, but he got a job and worked hard, settled down, now has a wife, two kids, little house of their own.

Her other son was supposed to be the disciplined angel. He did sports too, but it was Tae-kwon-do. Straight A student in high school. Went off to college, decided he was gay, decided he needed a masters degree, then a doctorate. Now he's like 38 years old and bouncing around from temporary teaching gig to temporary teaching gig with hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans. The whole being gay thing I guess is still a part of his persona, but he no longer fits into that cool group of young hot ass and so he's just a bit adrift.

She was so disappointed. It was palpable. The love was palpable too, but you can just tell when a mother has finally and completely concluded that it's too late and there is no coming back.

At some point, things boil down to either bragging or complaining. The latter son was probably molested by his sensei btw

birth order studies say the odds of a gay son go up 40% for each additional male child and LOL how there's little scholarship on the cause (bc it's obvious their parents were not vigilant enough and its heresy to suggest what everyone knows to be true) though they did note that younger male siblings aged 4-6 end up in the orbit of their older bros' friend group, more older brothers mean more horny neighbor kid foot traffic and more opportunities for tykes to get the gay gene

That's why one-child-havers are so ljl. Imagine going through all the hassle of parenting for just one child who turn out to be a failure. You need at least two but ideally more.

I get being disappointed about the gay son, but what is the problem with kid 1? Seems like a good result for him.

If this is in reference to me, I should remind you that I am the survivor. All of my siblings are dead.

RSF and I are kindred spirits in this regard.
