Jeff, I've been both mother and father to my children. And you speak about gender roles and confusion? False ideals about families? My kids have no idea!! They never have, and never will, until they have their own families, and I hope they get married and stay that way so their children don't endure what they went through.
And I'm in the process of moving, so I might not get back here until tomorrow sometime, or maybe later tonight. This computer is at my old house because they can't turn the cable on at the new house until sometime next week.
But I like the discussion.

Bless you for being the best you can as a mother to your children. But don't ever fool yourself that you have filled the place of a father to them. Are you prepared to make your situation a model for other's to follow? Wouldn't you agree one father and one mother is right?
You don't think your kids know anything about gender roles? They are not growing up seeing mom and dad in each other's embrace. Children are very smart and emotionally perceptive.
