If men are so disposable, why cant women seem to raise sons alone? Why are so many young men from single women households or homes where men come and go for the night, such a problem for society once they become teens and young adults? Its because women cant do it alone, they cant be a father figure and society is being crippled by it.

Women view things from a different perspective. Men want their sons to learn the lessons of life. Women want to protect them from harm and hurt and disappointment. Women want to make excuses for their son’s behavior. That’s why people describe crimes as “mistakes” now. “He meant to go to his locker and get his math book but he raped another student by accident. It’s not his fault. He’s a victim.”. A lot of single moms play the victim role like they were on stage. “He’s a good boy. He didn’t mean to kill that carload of people. It’s not his fault. He got in with the wrong crowd. His father left. He’s all I have. WHAT ABOUT ME?”.

There are a few single mom lady friends in my life who every now and then call me for advice in raising their boys. At some point or another every one of them have broken down and thought they were a “bad mother”. I’ve told everyone of them that they are not bad mothers, but they are lousy fathers and that is the problem. Getting them to realize they have to get a male figure involved, like the granddad or even the absentee father in certain situations has helped to resolve a lot of issues with the kids.

why are 70%+ of those incarcerated in jails and prisons from fatherless homes?

Why are RINO men little more than sexless neuter metrosexuals?

We all tend to paint with a broad brush. That’s how we got to this sad state of affairs. Each situation is unique. It depends on the mother and the son. I can’t begin to tell you how many people told me I would raise a “sissy,” and that was before my divorce. After my divorce, I was left to raise a 5 year-old son. I’m sure those who prophesied over him at birth, REALLY thought his fate was sealed. It turns out that I did have a rough patch with him, but his father stepped up and drew the line in the sand. As it turned out, after a decade of neglect by his father, I still had the final say. It is still my advice he seeks. It is still me who he wants to be at his side as he takes his oath and is commissioned as a US Marine Officer. He always jokes that no staff sgt. could be tougher than I am. I love my Marines, but my standards are higher yet and he knows I will make an angry staff sergeant look like a daisy off a daisy chain if he gets it wrong — although I don’t yell. I just can’t stand all the yelling — such a headache! Don’t paint all children with the same brush or mothers either. It’s always been up to mothers to guide their children through the pitfalls of life (and every now and then we can use a 6’2” back-up to make sure the dunce pays attention). ;-) I’d have rather done it with my husband (because he missed so much of the kid’s life and it just can’t be made up), but did I NEED him to do it — No. I WANTED him to do it because I love them both so much and want the best for them.
