It is a tricky thing to raise boys to be men in our world. Teaching about honor, love, responsibility, and leadership skills. As a mom of 4 of these guys I can't compare boys with girls. But boys are a handful and y'know they are fun if you can just learn to go with the flow. Don't expect them to be nice quiet peaceful creatures. ( I tell myself that often) That is not the way God made them. In fact I have often said the hardest thing about being the mom of 4 boys is the noise (or maybe it is keeping them fed?)! I know that someday I will have a house of quiet, with no legos laying around. Then I will love it when my grandchildren invade my quiet life and raise a little cain.
Here is a great example of what my boys think is fun ~ MUD!!

I was just enjoying a blog about this topic in Dad's Corner Here is a link to a great post on raising boys in a feminine world. This is a series of 3 entries. He links to each.
