I also have those same thoughts about his manhood and I remind myself of these very sentiments through the tears and the "Can I just do half of these problems?"<br /><br />Thanks for the thoughts :) <br />Stopped by from Two Kid Schoolhouse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303029425179583246.post-77864432093065444882011-03-25T09:56:56.423-07:002011-03-25T09:56:56.423-07:00So thankful that I am not the only one who feels t...So thankful that I am not the only one who feels this way! I have 2 sons and a daughter. I battle my sons' lazy bugs on a daily basis. It seems that other parents don't expect as much out of their sons as I do mine, but I feel as you do. They are going to be heads of their own homes someday and possible leaders. Thanks so much for sharing with us!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303029425179583246.post-79814213215103861162011-03-16T20:19:40.240-07:002011-03-16T20:19:40.240-07:00I love this.

We begin at 8:30 a.m. and rarely stop before 2:30 p.m. My children must do their chores as well. I don't want to raise spoiled brats but two godly girls and a boy. How are they going to learn to live in the real world if everything is handed to them or provided for them? It sounds like you are doing a great job. Keep up the good work!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04519493201677485673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303029425179583246.post-26442326441707061762011-03-11T17:54:32.371-08:002011-03-11T17:54:32.371-08:00WOW!!!

Boys grow up to be men and they will have duties as husbands and fathers. So many are letting their sons slide by and regretting it when they are grown. I don't have any boys, but 3 girls. I do have mine help around the house, not as much as they should, but they do have some chores. I've talked with other moms and their children aren't made to do anything. That's an injustice to these future moms and dads.<br />Blessings,<br />PennyMomof3girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10138709780066051552noreply@blogger.com
