@Alorrena: lol, yeah. And I can't help but wonder how much of that "tendency" is social constructs/conditioning versus true "nature"
@wildfire: Oh, i'm sure it Heavily has something to do with social constructs and conditioning. There have been studies about it, i'm sure, and it's easy enough to see it- Fathers telling thier sons to "man up" or something similar when they're expressing something that causes an emotion. It's like men are trained from a young age to not express emotions unless it's with someone they're in a relationship with. I hope, when i have kids, my husband and i can teach our sons not to be like that and can instill upon them the importance of communicating their emotional needs with more than just their SO's
@Totalanimefan: I totally get that feeling. it really might just be one of those days. I have them frequently.
@Alorrena: If it helps, my sons are now young adult men (19 & 21) and they are capable of expressing themselves and their emotions. They are well-balanced, more-or-less emotionally healthy young men (and it's not just "proud mamma" saying so - I hear it often about my kids)... so it is possible to do.
@Wildfire: That is reassuring. :] It's nice to hear that some people are able to raise their children to be well adjusted adults.
@Alorrena: Thank you. It is possible :3 It takes patience, empathy, and similar skills, but also the ability and willingness to actually parent... to set boundaries, etc. :3
@Totalanimefan: i get that. You gotta take breaks some times and give yourself a breather.
@Wildfire: Yeah, a lot of people don't wanna parent or enforce boundaries or anything, so it's good that there are still some people who do.

Speaking of breathers, i'm finally off work, i'm going to go lie down for an hour and then maybe play some games!
@Totalanimefan: heheh i did not end up napping. instead i made dinner and went to circle k and did a jigsaw puzzle.
@totalanimefan: it was. once i got back Tyi and i talked for a little bit and then i went to watch Big Bang Theory. I think i can get used to the work from home thing, but the transition separating work and home is going to need some practice, for sure. Tomorrow will be an easy enough transition though, since we have DND at 7 and i'm off at 6. I'm looking forward to saturday because i'm probably making enchiladas for dinner and i'm a bit excited about it! This new job thing is seriously the best cause we're able to eat better.

@Wildfire: I'm good, just bored at work lol i just finished my cup of coffee, but i still wanna sleep a bit more. I was considering fixing my dress while working, but i'll have to go out to my car to get my folding table to put my sewing machine on it and i don't know if i really want to right now.
hello hello! i'd say good morning, but in my corner of the world, i'm starting to wind down for the day
@Alorrena:

@mothworth: I'm doing ok, just bored at work lol I understand the heat, i live in Florida. i love summer also, because i love swimming and sunshine, i just hate being hot.
@totalanimefan: I just know i want a nap today but i doubt i'll get it because of dnd. Also, i just basically had a free 50 minutes to do nothing, so now i'm on lunch i don't have anything to do.
