This, notwithstanding the point which is 3 back from here. 99% of mothers, ailing and debilitated due to sickness or old age will take 99% of the physical and other support that they need from their daughters, if they have any, while take 1% of their needed support from their sons. 99% of these mothers will take the support from their daughters taken for granted, and the same 99% of all mothers will praise their sons to no end. 99% of very old people with progeny will find only those moments in their lives tolerable during which at least one, but wishfully more or all of their descendants are around them. 99% of children have little awareness of use for their own

fathers, other than financial support in their university years. 99% of those fathers who do not cheat on the mother of their children and never file for divorce or leave her, who make up 50% of men in all marriages, do not cheat in consideration to other peoples feelings. If they had a chance to do it without hurting any of their loved ones or if they know they could live with their conscience, then they would. 99% of mothers might have fantasies during sex or on the streetcar, but the thought to cheat on their husbands never enter their minds. For those whose it enters, 99% think about it because their husbands are proven to have cheated on them.

(TV is considered a parent in many families in North America for this purpose.) Mannerisms, laughter, openness, body and facial language, tonality, mimics and hand-gestures, gait and body stances, all will be picked up from adults; knowledge of technical aspects of sex, working definitions of whats right and whats wrong (in the social environment they are part of, that is, as per the consensus with and among their peers), whats a good dress to wear to the Oscars, who is the most popular female world-class tennis player, who is the better kisser of two girls in the class, which is the best car, who would win a war
