[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I raised a son by myself. He's the opposite of anti-women. His father is has been MIA for most of his life. My DS is caring and thoughtful and generally appreciates everything he has.

I just finished watching the show and those parents did nothing wrong. The boy seemed to lack empathy but masked it well. That plus his temper is what did him in. Add in bullying and you've got a perfect storm.[/quote]

I think I would advise you to focus on raising a decent person. If my son was sad, he cried and nobody told him to stop crying or stop being a sissy. He heard me explain my feelings and it was normal to do so. I didn't make him do sports just because everyone else did. He did do an individual sport for years but when he wanted to quit, I supported that decision. I didn't get him a phone/iPad, etc until he was 13. It was mostly because I couldn't afford it but he also had no need for one. I took it away when I saw fit to do so. He had consequences for his behavior. He had regular chores from the time he was little. Laundry at age 8-9, emptying the dishwasher, vacuuming, etc. He worked from the time he was 16. He saved his money to buy what he wanted  (gaming computer, car insurance, etc). [/quote]
