Feeling sad that my son's father is such an a--hole

And what's with the overemphasis on MALE role models anyway? Great if you find a few coaches or teachers that have a Y chromosome your kid looks up to, but I'd focus on finding supportive, caring, responsible adults as role models for him of EITHER gender- he's not going to fall apart if he doesn't find a surrogate dad.


Boys especially need adult males to teach them how to be men. As a single mom with a DS I am concerned about how to teach DS to and when to fight. He has to be able to defend himself and family one day. As a woman I was never taught how to defend my family physically... I also can't tell him how to date. I can tell him how I felt but *shrug*.
Heck, I can't even teach him how to use the bathroom standing up. I never got the hover craft thing down myself...

Girls need adult male role models for other reasons.

Do you live in the Wild West? I can't imagine married couples teaching their sons how to physically fight so they can defend their families one day. Alien concept.

A NO I live in the DC metro area where random kids beat up grown men on the metro. Your just a silly troll! Be gone before a house falls on you too.

The name calling is sweet of you.

I guess we travel in different circles. I can't imagine wanting or needing to teach my son to fight. Is anyone else doing this with their DS?

You're serious? I thought you were a troll, sorry. Yes you need to teach your DS and DD to defend themselves. You only have a duty to retreat if it is safe. If somebody is picking a fight with you or your kid it is not safe to turn your back on them and walk away. There are crazy people out there that will not allow you to walk away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzLMRB8MLmc OR http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/09/24/earlyshow/living/parenting/main6896750.shtml or http://www.tbd.com/blogs/tbd-on-foot/2011/01/man-attacked-by-kids-at-l-enfant-metro----bystanders-watch-film-6880.html OR
