 an all-boy family very different from having an all-C\rl family? What Is It like
to be totally outnum_ by the opposite sex In your own home? To _ the
a_r, TV's Channel 4 asked Marianne and Jon Tibbett, the parents of four
daughters to swap homes with Karen and Steve Cafearo, who have four sons.
."'0,'., lives with husband, Steve, 49, a
manager at Jaguar Cars, and th~r sons Francis (17),
Alex (15), Joseph (U l, and Samuel (9). Karen Is an
8CCOUntant. She says:
' I married Steve when I was 21. I'm the oldest of four
children and I always wanted a big family. Also, I wanted
a son for Steve, he's very sporty, loves his football, so
he's delighted to have four sons. The boys love kicking
balls and racing around on their bikes. They don't see
danger. Steve says I mustn't worry. He says boys will be
boys. Sometimes I feel left out of all their sport, but
r m pleased that I don't have to watch football in the
pouring rain. The boys see everything in
btack and white. I should learn not to ask
them about their lives and feelings.
' Dunno' is their usual answer.
I have often wondered what a
family of girls would be like. '
'''''',38, '''es with husband, Jon, 45,
and thtHr da ughlefs Annabelle (14 ), Francesca (U),
Genevieve (9), and Catherine (8). They run a haulage
business together. Marianne says:
, Jon and I met and married within sixteen months.
He was 29. People often ask us if we have so many
children because we were trying for a boy. But this isn't
true. I'm an only child and it was my dream to have a
big family. We were delighted when Annabelle arrived
and equally delighted when Francesca arrived three years
&ater, followed by Genevieve and Catherine. Jon loves
having four girls, he is their superhero dad!
Our daughters are fabulous.
Most of the time they get
•'1'"......, on really well together.
They're a chatty group! But
we were fascinated to try
living with boys.'
Karen and Steve arrived at the Tibbett f am ily home. she had
to laugh. There were piles of pink ballet shoes and riding boots all
over the floor. Karen says:
' The four girls are as passionate about dancing and horseiiding as
my boys are about football and rugby, but I was shocked by the mess.
J have strict ru les for my boys. They can't wear their shoes upstairs
and they have to tidy their rooms. The girls were so excited to see
us, they wanted to chat and ask us questions. It was fantastic. but
exhausting. They came to help me cook in the kitchen. they didn 't
want to play in the garden. I think girls need more anemian than
boys, Another shock for me was how nice the girls were to each
other. The boys love each other but they filVlt and fall out endle$$Iy.
The thing I loved most was shopping with the girls. We had great tun.
I miss that with boys. Poor Steve had to carry the bags. I saw a big
chaOJ!e in him. With girls he was so sensitive and gentle.
loved the chats with the girls, but I also like my own space. I think
gi rls are harder work. '
ad,a",. expected the Cafearo boys to be loud and boisterous.
In fact on the first day they were very quiet and polite. Marianne says:
' They even took their shoes off before going upstairs. However.
I soon re alised why Karen and Steve had to have such strict house
rules. The boys were constantly on the go and wildly competitive.
They raced around the garden and dived into the pool. There was
a fight between one of the little boys and his big brother. I tried to
make them apologize. which is what I do with my girls. but it just
made them more angry. The little one went away by himself. cried.
then forgot all about it.
But the biggest shock for me was the change in my gentle
husband. He became more and more competitive . We all went
go-karting. We've never done this with our family. Jon joined in with
the boys and it was clear he wanted to win as much as they did .
He had great fun and I loved seeing him so happy. I know he would
love to have had a son to continue the business. But now we've
seen the reality of having boys! They're exhausting. I honestly think
they are much harder work than girls. '
