Parenting question : Peer pressure

A friend asked why I'm so biased and only pack lunch for the girlet, and not the boylet. (A side question : is it normal for your non-blogging friends to read your blog and comment via sms/phone, rather than on the blog itself?). Coming back to the topic, the boylet has lunch in his nursery 3X a week, when he has swimming and Mandarin classes. After packing lunch for him a few times, he said he does not want to bring lunch anymore.

"Why don’t you want me to pack lunch?" I said.

"Errr, I just want to eat the same as everyone." answered the boylet.

If at 4, he's already trying to blend in with the crowd, how will it be when he's a teenager? Aaaaaaargh!......bury that thought, will deal with it when it comes........ hang on, another idea comes to mind, better psycho him now while he's still small and still listens to me....... most times anyway... ^_^.

Is it just me or is parenting boys rather different from parenting girls? Veteran moms, any tips?? Meantime, better take out my Dr Dobson book........ where's the page on peer pressure??
