I can forgive him for leaving me to pursue his dreams. It is hard to forgive him hurting our kids and impacting their lives and providing such cr*ppy modeling. They are boys, they are watching him.
I've seen this notion referred to rather a lot around here -- the "boys are watching WAH" (though interestingly -- perhaps it's random -- one never sees "the girls are watching WAW").
That's probably true, but the use / invocation of the phrase seems to be directed at the following implication (at least to my mind): "and are learning bad lessons about manhood and will almost certainly wind up being WAHsholes themselves if H doesn't come back NOW."
Couldn't it be the case that the "boys are watching WAH" is / could be followed by this implication: "and are learning good lessons about manhood and will almost certainly wind up being far better H's than WAH because they're experiencing what WAHdom means?"
