    I said that my view is old fashioned, but it is my view. Many men seem to have regressed from the males who are willing to care for their family, into permanent Peter Pans who want a mother figure and wife rolled into one. I find them pathetic.

    There seems to be at least as many strongminded women who are coping with straitened circumstances and doing the best for their family as there ever was.

    I like dinosaurs anyway, especially those who open doors and give up their seat for those more in need.

    Stop whingeing about it then.
    I am glad you haven`t been ignored, simply because you are a woman, while the sexist estate agent speaks to the man with you (who has much less financial involvement)

    I was outraged, but I didnt ask him to sell the house so it was his loss.

    Just wanted to show sympathy for you, I think it must be so difficult these days.

    I have two grown up children, both with young babies and they have to go out to work just to keep a roof over their heads. Both partners in their marriage work full time but there is never enough money, even with grandparents helping with child care.

    I do what I can to help but wish it could be otherwise.

    So this is progress? It is sad. Good luck.
