Re: How We Raise Our Boys Part Deux
lol @ verizon
Mariah summed it up pretty nicely. Just wanted to add one more thing though: When I was little we were yelled at, smacked around a bit. Alhamdulillah we turned out to be good kids (thats actually what my motehr says :D). But I have also seen my mamo raise his kids without so much as ever touching them harshly. BUt if the kids were misbehaving, all he had to do was look at them and they would straigten out. He loved his kids to death, spoiled them but nevr reaised a hand on them. So thats what I plan to do: "khilao sonay ka niwala, daikho shair ki nazar say".
Plus, whether girls or boys they are both going to have the same exact rules: the girl wont be told you cant do the same thing your bro does becuz you are a girl. If the boy wants to help out in the kitchen, then fine he can help out making cookies.
