It is definitely a male thing.

I often wonder how I'd cope in a testosterone dominated environment and after reading your post I think the answer is 'not very well'! The least effective way of getting anyone to calm down is telling them to calm down! Thanks so much for joining us at #TweensTeensBeyond.

Our house is pretty male-dominated too - there's three of them and two of us and the boys are all up later than my daughter, usually watching The Simpsons when I want them to go to bed! Football is on TV far too much and there is a bit of alpha male jostling for supremacy starting between my eldest and my husband.<br />I'm so grateful for my little girl!SarahMummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04103870858666628645noreply@blogger.com
