Is that a Dad thing or just a man thing Janet.  My husband is just the same.  I used find gardening at home and the allotment such a therapeutic way to spend my time until he retired! 

Now I listen to what he has to say and carry on the same way as I have been for the last 30 odd years

Please do not tar all men with the same "man" brush after all there is "man" in woman to! 

I think its a Dad thing in our circumstances 
After all, how could his precious little girl wield a spade and get mucky?
I should be in the kitchen rattling pots and pans whilst rearing a few children! 
He is very old fashioned.

Thank heavens for coming from generations of men whose wives were educated, equals and given to working for money. Even the ones from Victorian times. If you could handle a spade and a fork, you were an equal. And with time and experience, allowed to have your ways and views.
