My question is for mothers of sons (not out of "blame the mother" thinking, but because it's the women who suffer most from shitty boyfriends, and it is in our interests as well to learn from the previous generation's parenting mistakes and avoid them).
So how do you bring up your son to be a decent man, affectionate and loyal husband and father? And NOT the kind who'd have an affair when his gf/wife is pregnant/just give birth? Not the kind who'll refuse to leave the marital home and, in his wife's presence, get ready to see his lover? Not the kind who'll sleep around and refuse to use a condom? Not the one who'll separate from the wife and get his new gf pregnant, so the court will rule in favour of the unborn child and leave the wife with nothing? Not the kind who doesn't do any house chores yet rejects the idea of a cleaner? and so on.
I've read so many such stories here and thought "These men are someone's sons - what went wrong in their upbringing?" I put it in the Relationship topic, rather than Parenting, as it's more about how we as women address the gender problems when it comes to the new generation of men.
