Raising boys

[trueromantic]

Hey everyone Im a 17 boy raised by a single parent my mom who had two kids b4 me ones 19 and 21. There is a lot of things being said. The thing that bothers me the most is cheatshot you think you know everything but you know nothing of importance to rasing kids. My brothers were rasied the same and all of us ended diferent. (sry bout the spelling) Kids will be misunderstood and just because u are honest with them doesnt mean they will with you. Try telling them some stories of u when u were young. They might be more willing to open up. Try family game nights either board games or sports or video games. I have many great memories with my mom and dad playing video games. I thaught my mom how to play some video games. Just be calm. Yes we will give you hard times but it shows that you love us. PLease don't let us push you around! boundries are good but don't be harsh.

If anyone wants to chat more PM me or write back. No matter what we Love our moms and dads. It may not show some times but we do!

I have this book as well, my sister gave it to me since he has 2 boys and i only have one (1 boy 1 girl). they say that boys are harder to raise because they are usually more active than girls, and i think they're right. This book has helped me so much and my little boy is now 3 years old and he's growing up to be a smart little boy

I am a mom of two teens as well and raising boys is not that easy. Actually I took hard time raising my boy, He used to be a troubled teen. It needs patience and perseverance but I love being a parent, and would not give it up for anything. Raising boys from girls is very different. They tend to have different temperaments and speeds of learning new skills. They mature more slowly, particularly when it comes to language development, social skills and their fine motor skill. Some boys have difficulty getting organized and will invariably have wonderfully messy bedrooms, but they need step-by-step instructions in the form of lists about how to manage themselves and their schedules. Being a role model to them is the best thing you can do. It takes a lot of parenting tips and parenting books for me to understand him.

I have 3 boys, believe me the older they get the more problems you have.

I quite agree, they are hard work but with a lot of patience and love you do get through it - probably takes about until they are in their 20's.

How may children do you have cheatshot?

My lady and I currently have no children, however I am presently developing my basement to add two new bedrooms and a bathroom, and the current plan is to fill the house with three children. Rest assured, we have discussed exactly how our children will be raised. They will grow up to be responsible, mature, intelligent, and sensible adults.

This sends fritzls dowm my spine.

I have 5 boys, Ages 10, 8, 7, 4 and 4. The 4 year olds are identical twins. Boys are not clean and are always into something crazy, but I will take that over girls anyday. What I have learned is don't sweat the small stuff and when the line be very firm and consistent to let them know they will not be able to cross the line.

If you could actually plan everything like you've "planned" your children then we would all be billionairs, doing something we love! Funnily enough we're not...
