The French really are different By Tom Smith The excellent food and travel magazine Gourmet has a feature this month on the Club Meds for families. Here's how they work. You go there and find a bunch of French families. The French dads do absolutely nothing ever by way of child care, which works because you dump your kids off at the kid's center, where they bribe and pander to the little tadpoles like crazy. The French moms are sleek and sexy and wear bikinis. The American moms are sunburned, share kid care with American dads, who therefore have less time to flirt. The staff consists of hunky guys with 6-packs under instructions to flirt like crazy with the moms. The dads don't care because they're busy with the female staff members and other sexy moms, presumably (this last sentence is my speculation. Maybe Frenchmen have overcome narrow-minded bourgeois jealousy.) I know this sounds great to some people. I think it shows the French really are different. |
