[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] My sons aren't grown yet, but they're interested in family holidays and relationships. We started small. At 3 they started bringing their money to the store and buying gifts. At that age, we went to Dollar Tree and they picked out an item or two for their siblings and parents on each occasion (and actually these were some of the favorite gifts that siblings received. Like- a massive lolly pop). It's important to think about others and the things they'd like. They helped us decorate the tree, we talked about menus for Christmas and New Years and what we should make. On and on, we just involved our kids. Women do this naturally with daughters. DH can't remember ever shopping with his mom, likely because boys whined more about shopping and girls enjoyed it because they were socially conditioned to.[/quote]
