.The authoresses at Manners of Modern Mothers would like to salute Mr. Fisher and all the intrepid mothers (and fathers) out there who work hard to convince their sons that "handsome clothes" are really not that bad, endeavor to teach their sons to tie their own ties, and continue to strive towards civilizing their offspring.
More kudos to those mothers who manage to consistently have blazers, ties, dress pants, button-down shirts, and dress shoes, all of the approximate right size, and all clean, pressed, and waiting in the their sons' closets.

As the mother of three boys who constantly outgrow their clothes, I am hard pressed to have dress clothes that fit, try as I might.
I would also like to lobby for a Wipe The Toilet Seat day and have it considered for a future edition of Mr. Fisher's book. It, too, is a valuable life lesson that will be important in any future relationships boys have with the opposite sex.
So true! Or maybe just: don't forget to but the seat down. I have a mother in law who managed to teach her own 3 boys good bathroom etiquette, not quite sure what her secret was.
How about Not Everyone Needs to Wear a Baseball Cap day?
Boy, did I ever loathe that dressy portion of my childhood closet. Kudos, indeed, to the parents who can get their kids into anything with a collar.
