[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you get your sons to grow up, caring and wanting to be involved in family holidays and relationships?[/quote] You model for them that that’s what men do. You don’t “rescue” DH by sending his mom a Mother’s Day gift. About two weeks before Mother’s Day, you make it part of dinner table conversation: “Ted, what are you planning to get your mom for Mother’s Day? If you need help with ideas, I can give you some, but make sure you put the order in with enough time for it to arrive by Sunday the 12th.” You make it part of dinner table conversation: “Ted, we’ll be with my family for Thanksgiving this year; what are your plans with your family for Christmas? Have you called your sister yet to make a plan? I’d be happy to help cook and bake whatever, but let me know what the plans are so I can get my shopping and cooking done.” Etc. Just make it a natural part of family dialogue.[/quote]
