Parents of Boys.....

[b23hqb]

You have birthed and are raising five daughters. You are a pro.

Just keep the boy clean, fed, and nurtured. You will get sprayed at least once (no big deal at all) while he laughs about it, then let the girls do the rest. They will teach him all their bad ways, and the older girls will undoubtedly spoil him rotten.

What are the age differentials? Our boy-girl twins were eleven when our youngest daughter was born. Our son tortured (the things big brothers do, ya know) the baby, but our daughter was almost a mother to her in her own way.

So, you have a number of built-in babysitters and all their girlfriends that will ohh and ahh as well.

This boy is set up, for sure.

Relax, go with what comes naturally, and you'll be fine.

I only have two but one of each. They are both different but no more difficult thsn the other.

Just remember you are raising a man.

Teach him how to treat a girl/lady, but send him outdoors to play. Let him get dirty, scrape his knees and tear up his clothes.. let him get hurt and kiss his bruises to make it all better, then send him on his way to his next adventure and his next boo boo.

Teach him manners, and how to clean a fish... teach how to cook, and teach him how to dress a deer.

Remember at 5 it's too late to start, he's already decided what kind of man he's going to be..

I want to learn that.
That is one of the reasons for me not killing these rats that come on my property.

Sounds like my girls are very similar to the way boys are described except they like to snuggle too. If I am ever sitting I feel like I am at the bottom of a pile of puppies. My oldest girl is 12 and my youngest is 2 so they are pretty spread out in age and I am sure I will have to fight for baby time. I do get butterflies when I think of family dinners when all the kids are grown and the day he brings home a girl to a house with 6 mommas LOL

You can be sure of one thing: you'll get a terrific DIL out of the deal because the bad ones won't get past the perimeter guards.

If he is a smart kid, with pre-school experience, he should be screwing all his sister's girlfriends.

All of my girls say they are not even going to kiss a boy until thier wedding day, I will try to encourage the same for the boy. No bursting my bubble, I am gonna keep telling myself that is the truth no matter what
