This.  DH is a wonderful model of what a good husband and father should be.  He makes sure that DS takes note of what he does.   We make sure DS is held responsible for his actions.  We make sure DS has responsibilities.  He's 12.  He knows how to  grocery shop and find recipes.  He's learning to cook more complex meals.  He's learning how to be more responsible for his own belongings without having to be nagged about it (keeping his room clean, laundry, etc).

We've always taught him about respect when it comes to ones body.

If he's rude or says something he doesn't realize may be taken the wrong way, we explain to him why it's rude or wrong and make sure he understands it.

We monitor and censor  what hes exposed to online.

We feel like we are doing all the right things and he definitely has the right role models so far.   Ultimately he's going to turn out how he's going to turn out.  Hopefully he will be like DH and my brother, who are the most involved men in his life.  [/quote]
