Re: The ‘Stiff Upper Lip’ Mentality
I think we do a real disservice when we attach a persona to men that they can’t possibly live up to and then feel disappointed when they cant.Re: The ‘Stiff Upper Lip’ Mentality
Re: The ‘Stiff Upper Lip’ Mentality
Honestly Bratti, I don't know whether it was the Irish blood flowing through their veins, or they took their cue from my Irish Dad, but I don't think I can ever recall seeing any of my six brothers crying. When we lost Mum, dad didn't even cry once in front of us. He just went for long walks by himself for weeks after the funeral. The same with my younger brother when he lost the love of his life to illness. I often saw reddish puffed eyes when we visited, but he never showed any emotion in front of us. I'm sure many a tear fell when they were on their own though.Re: The ‘Stiff Upper Lip’ Mentality
