I would like to listen to some of the positive, wonderful memories that you have of a man taking on the manly role when it comes to a male in his life. Because, like I said, it happens to day, but it needs to happen more. We lose out on so much, and maybe that's why our men aren't fulfilling the things that they used to many years ago, because we've lost track. But as mothers, as women leaders

Hey, Keith, I apologize if you can't, if it's low, but I'm in the truck on my way home from church. But this is, you are right. This. Men need sons need their fathers. I was telling my grandson, I was telling his mother, I said, you can't explain to my grandson what, what his body is going through, because women and men go through puberty differently. Our hormones are different, so our bodies react differently

And he looks back, he doesn't have it. But, you know, sometimes people, when they didn't get that time growing up, they don't know how to deliver it. And he really didn't get that time. Even though his dad was in his life, his dad was too busy doing other things, so he didn't really get that time. Whereas me, I had a dad in my life and I got that time

You. Hi there. So the example that comes to mind for me with this is my brother and his son. And my brother was never really into sports very much so I don't think he and my nephew really go out and hang out on basketball court and just shoot oops all day, however, whenever. But my brother is a youth minister and my nephew does play a role and he does go to church. And so that's been bonding time for them

And that is hard when you have toddlers, but also just making sure that everything that a child feels and needs to say they have the freedom he has, the ability to share his thoughts. And we may not always agree, and we may have to have conversations around how we express ourselves, but there is nothing but safety and a calm space for him to explore figuring out who he wants to be in this world

You know, I agree with you 100%. I happen to raise my son. I have a ten year old son. He lives with me. And so we do everything together. You know, like, we. We go out to movies, and I take them to Rockefeller center to see the tree, and we do everything together. Movies, shopping, and it's very true

Hi, Rich. Thanks so much for responding. You're right. It doesn't have to be a basketball as long as bonding. Kids love their fathers. And a lot of times we don't realize that it doesn't take materialistic things. It just takes time. And I'm so glad that your family has determined that and has discovered that and is making great bonds with their son

Hello and happy Valentine's. I really enjoy when you comment on my swells because we kind of have the same thoughts on many things. And so I love the way that your family interacts and how you are teaching things so that they can carry it on to their own kids for years to come, and you're making things better. I really do thank you for commenting. And a lot, lot of dads don't get to be at home dads

So my son is learning it from know. His dad teaches him some things, but I have those deep conversations. And while I know that he understands and he gets it and I know he has a good head on his shoulders, nobody can teach him like a man can. Thanks again
