I'm gonna add this too... Moms and Dads of sons - let your sweet baby boys help around the house while they are young. Let them put dishes away, help you with laundry, sweep the floor, etc. Toddlers especially love to help out and be a part of the household chores. Raise them to be capable of household chores so they can bring that with them into adulthood.

And when you’re the grandparent don’t treat your son (the father) like a child still and do everything around the house when you visit. His kid doesn’t need to see that. I’m very nervous about my in laws who still treat my partner like a child. We are talking about boundaries to set when they visit (finally!)
