			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.<span id="more-294"></span></p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
