[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being a strong father figure isn't about being hyper masculine.  It's about being a role model for your children, showing them how to be a good person and how to treat people.  Going camping doesn't make a man more of a man.  [/quote]

This is OP.Sure, I understand that. I love my dh because he is not a bonehead and is instead sophisticated and well read. Now I also know that my dh does feel like he missed out. His dad was NOT "macho" or outdoorsy at all. He never played a sport with my dh, worked out, went hiking or anything like that. He also, like my dh is a homebody and does not have any male friends!! I don't think this is healthy. I keep encouraging dh to go out and socialize with guys.  My dh says he was so sheltered as a young boy that he started watching football in college with his GF. Until then, he couldn't even connect with other men about sports!

I really want to create a healthy, male positive household and raise well adjusted and NOT wimpy boys![/quote]

OP, it is not 1940. I know more about sports than my husband, which isn't saying much. He manages to make friends based on his other interests, like music, cooking, Buddhism, etc! You sound similar to his mother--micromanaging him. [/quote]
