[ - ] Moms of boys: is it normal for a 4 yr old boy to not have interest in sitting and riding books? Or having a short attention span? He's very well behaved but when he loses interest, he will get up leave or tell you he doesn't want to do this any longer. I'm asking because my dds would sit for hours doing this without losing interest. Thanks! 6 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

OP: I didn't meant that my dds would read for hours but they would do activities for very long periods of time at this age, also would sit and listen with interest to a storyteller. I thought there was nothing wrong with the lack of interest my ds has but his teacher thinks it's an issue [ Reply | More

I used to be a preschool teacher. It is almost always the case that little girls will sit and read while boys are crazy balls of energy. Of course, some boys like to read and some girls have crazy energy, but for the most part, this is 100% normal. [ Reply | More

OP: thank you. I thought it was normal. He will sit and listen to certain books (like goodnight construction site) but his teacher is bothered that he won't look at the book or her as she reads. She said he will look but mostly will look away...but will answer questions about the story correctly if asked. She's an older woman and I guess wants them all to sit and stare eagerly at her [ Reply | More

The shrew will focus OVERMUCH on her own personal advancement. Take two girls in biglaw. One lives with roommates, saves as much as she can, uses her vacation time to visit friends and family in other states or for "staycations" at home with family, and she lives well below her means. She doesn't need a guy to make six figures or have a good college degree to be marriage material, all he needs is a steady middle-class income and solid values. The other one lives in a fancy full-service apartment, does BIGBRUNCH and BIGTRAVEL and BIGSHOPPING, humblebrags on Facebook about every little thing that she thinks is impressive about her life (like "checking in" to the international terminal at the airport or taking pictures of champagne bottles). Guys must make six figures at the very least, and must have gone to the right high schools and colleges for her to even give them the time of day. Both may have the same job and career goals, but one is clearly much more shrewish than the other. [ Reply | More

but they are both shrews. even the stayathome is a shrew. she stays home till the kids move out, around age 20. Back tracking, we see that once the kids start school, she starts being a lady who lunches; a yoga fanatic, likes to spend her husbands money on spa days and ombre pedicures and learns to golf. She joins a few social clubs or volunteer organizations which burn up a solid 4 hours of her week. The rest of the time she works on her inner goddess, perfecting her souffle, gossiping about whos getting a divorce, who is cheating on who, and interfering in her young adult childrens lives. Women: never not being shrews. [ Reply | More
