My husband often works long hours and it is so funny, because my 14 year-old son tries to step into the man role when he can. If it is cold and we need a fire, he will be bringing in wood, making kindling, carrying heavy stuff; anything that his Dad would be doing, he will do and not allow the "girls" (myself and my daughter) to help. But if it is a "kid job" like taking out the trash, or cleaning up his room, he has to be asked...
