Guilty! I Might Be Raising “Mom” Dependant Boys

I was listening to a program the other day on Bott Radio. I can’t remember who it was that I was listening to, but they were talking about marriages and how our husbands don’t want a “mom” for a wife. They went on to say that if men do enjoy having a “mom” for a wife then they need to grow up, because that was not what God had intended and it certainly was not healthy.

This talk got me thinking. Am I raising my boys to grow up to be “mom” dependant? Am I teaching them that it is okay to not take the lead and that the woman in the house will do everything for them?

Now, I know that the whole talk was on marriage, but why would a married man have this attitude, if it didn’t start when he was young and at home.

Boy that was a wakeup call. I don’t know exactly what my plan of attack is, but I know that I want to raise strong young men who are leaders. Only with God’s help and of course the leading and insight from my husband will this be possible.

Children are a blessing, but it takes a lot of hard work. Our children are worth it, though. I can’t imagine life without them.
