I’m sorry for your loss. The fact that you are the only “male” in you family seems totally irrelevant to me.

You seem to have incredibly stereotypical traditional views on man and women and their roles. Frankly speaking, that is unhealthy for them and you. The fact that you even mention that the dogs are female only shows to me an unhealthy preoccupation with people’s gender.

This is 2023 and women are their own person. They can take care of themselves. You are not responsible for them from some kind of patriarchal notion of manhood.

Be a kind person, help them if really required just to be kind you your family, not out of misplaced old-fashioned and unhealthy ideas about gender roles.

They raised me, of course they are stronger than me. They supported me, so now I have to support them back.

The thing about the dogs was a joke, or not, I don’t know. I was just making it more absurd.

I never said or implied they were stronger than you and why mention it? The fact that you are the only male in your family seems to make you feel insecure whereas I really don’t understand why you care so much about it. Especially under the current circumstances.

Regardless of jokes, the whole gender thing is irrelevant, yet you seem so preoccupied with it. I hope you can shake it off.

I just want the best for them. Actually I would say you are the one preoccupied with the gender roles.

I will try being kind as much as possible though, thanks for the advice.
