• Monday, February 13, 2006 - Bringing up boys

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.

Aren't boys interesting? I grew up with one sister so boys were foreign to me. Then I married one and had three. It was a crash course but I sure love them. I love the mud picture. That is ALL boy!

As a mom of a teenage son I definitely understand what you're saying. I love being a mom of son.

The thoughts and reflections of a mom who loves being at home, and is doing all she has ever desired in her life..... Really... I love my life that much!


"And all thy sons shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy sons.
In righteousness shall thou be established."
Is 54:13-14
