Above BBM....to add to the response from the water skiing lady....who I think lives in New York:
[QUOTEIn the summer of 2017, we were devastated to hear that the older boys had to decline the HWWF invitation to train and participate, for their first time, in the Junior Europeans held in Spain. The Dulos children have not competed since and it is our understanding that Jennifer does not want them to continue water-skiing. We hope, for the sake of the children, that they will be eventually reunited with their father, extended family and friends, and that they will be given the opportunity to follow their hearts and practice what they love. We miss them dearly.
I keep wondering about all the emphasis on the two oldest male children. What were the other kids doing during these competitions? Does that say anything about FD's mindset regarding girls/women? Are they relegated to being cheerleaders for their older brothers? Something about this is making me uncomfortable.
And, the idea that ALL of the children loved water skiing is a farfetched idea for anyone who has had children or worked with children. Kids in a family often look for their own niche...IMOO....[/QUOTE]
My sense is that we are getting a crash course in Greek culture and patriarchy. Oldest son/s are GOD and rarely do wrong in the eyes of anyone.
The fact that this lesson is coming from a greek female doesn't really surprise me as she has to operate within her enviornment the best that she can but the comment does sadden me as this is 2019 and not 1819 and we are in the U.S. and not Greece!
