[quote=Anonymous]My boys are sweet, polite and considerate. All the adults they’ve interacted with have gone out of their way to say nice things about them so I don’t think I’m just biased. From day one I have raised them the same way I raised my daughter. I avoided stereotyped expectations. I helped them to label their feelings and encouraged them to express emotions. I also provided lots of hugs. Even at 21 and 17 they openly say I love you and give big hugs. They have a lot of friends who are girls/women and treat those they date with respect. DH was raised in the 70s and 80s and exhibits some toxic masculine traits which is why it was so important to me to raise boys who didn’t stuff emotions down and feel like they needed to be macho.
