Why are women more nosey than men? Why is that a man will have their childrens friend's in the car and not question them, The kids will be having fun listening to music, laughing all while the dad is driving. But.....When a mom picks up their childrens friend's They ask them every question under the sun. making the kids vey uncomfortable. I know this because my kids come home and tell me and my son asked me this very question tonight. He asked me to never ask questions about their families. I do ask when I am dropping off if there is someone home, if it is ok for them to be home alone and if they would like to call their mom or dad. I do try not to be so nosey as it is not my business what goes on in their home. We all do need to remember things we do in our own homes is unthinkable to some and vice versa. So before we pass judgement on people and their parenting by being nosey We need to check our own parenting. and mind our own business. But this is all just my opinion...what does it matter anyway!

and it is so bad because my son told me when his friends moms do that to him he is embarassed. He said mami please do not do that to my friends it makes us feel weird. I will never do that to him because I do not want to embarass him or his friends.

I do not intrude into the private life of my children. I would want them to live it for themselves. Cheers!!

Well, my dad was nosey than my mom. He ask to every friends that i invite to my home. He'll stay front of the dor when my friend comes, then he put my friend in the kitchen n throw so much question about my friend. U know, bcoz of him, my friend never want to visit my home again. We often meet at park or cafe or her house. So, i must go to her house with finished lot of question about it of my dad then i can go. R u still think woman was nosey than man? My dad didn't think so. Haha.
