Family

A man sees what he wants to see
A woman sees the rest
A child knows what he wants to be
And that must be the best
Dad always wants a son
Mother could not care less
Dad is into it for the fun
Mother picks up the mess

oh my goodness, written by a man no less!! It does seem to be this way (unfortunately) in many cases. Thankfully there are exceptions (just not at MY house. hahaha) I really liked this.
