I always had an idea, did we identify more closely with what our mom's did? More interests in her activities? I guess I did, sure loved to do things in the house since very young! I didn't mind the yard work, but came to live inside, cleaning and cooking! My older brother is gay also, but he definitely has the green thumb that I don't have and couldn't care less about cleaning or how well a vacuum works. Ironically he used to have his own cleaning service. Mom was for sure the alpha male in our house, nobody would make her mad! Also a bit of an ocd clean freak,think there is a link there to numerous strep throat.
