Boys, more than anything, hate to be nagged. I guess I get it. It's a matter of trust, and nagging someone is sending the unspoken message of I don't trust you to get the job done and well, so I am going to say something to urge you to do it. And even if it's well meaning, even if it is a fair rebuking, it still comes out frustratingly wrong sometimes.
Actually when I think about it, I get rather annoyed and angry when people nag me too. So it's not just boys. I do have a tendency to nag. My poor, poor kids.
