My grandson's liberal mommy had an issue when I treated my grandson "manly" but now that the kid has embraced it, she thinks its awesome that he acts just like his dad.
I have resisted the urge to remind her of why she was attracted to my son. #notapussy
She just needed to come around to it. Women of late make the worst helicopter parents. Kids need to get dirt on their hands and young boys need a masculine father to teach them how to be a man. I am glad you did your part and I am also glad she came to her senses

My boys... were raised very much “attachment parenting” at first and then when they were ready to go, I let them go.
I was ‘right there’ when they were itty bitty and I got looked down on for that by people, but then when they were ready to venture out, we let them. Also helped that I always talked to them like people, not infants. Talked to them real no nonsense.
Dealing with bullies in the neighborhood was kinda difficult, because they didn’t have the experience of having to deal with that at school (homeschool) but their experience beating each other up (brothers) nonstop paid off and they figured it out.
Nice to not have to be stuck in a room with a bully (classroom); if you are an asshole, none of us have to put up with you, we can just be free to disassociate.
I’m quite sure my experience as a mother was not that of a “normal” woman. (We did things ‘differently’ and I have a very unique outlook.) But then when you talk with people who have all boys, it seems that we have all learned to take stuff with a grain of salt.

And the man bun
Every time I read about or have a discussion about the pussification of America..like this thread... I simply say this... Great! Keep it up...as these wack jobs are the minority but get their attention only because they are louder and their 'ideas' are so out of touch with mainstream America. Raise a bunch of PC whiny babies so they can kneel before my son when he becomes King of Texas... after we deal with secession and that monarchy thing. 
In all seriousness, I'm 50 with 6yo and 1yo sons so imagine how I feel when I'm around some of these types of parents. I wonder how I will stay out of jail raising such Neanderthals that like to hunt, fish, play contact sports and turn wrenches. I am old school...old testament with the angry God type of mentality... I don't put up with these lazy ass parents that don't want to raise their kids to actually do something in lieu of receiving a trophy every time their kid participates in basket weaving. I coach my son's baseball team and most are driven kids but there is always that one or two that are just so worthless that I am tempted to ask the parents if their kid is mentally challenged or they just are raising them that way.. I can't tell.
All we can do is raise our own children...teach them to open doors, say yes sir/ma'am, respect others and their property, take pride in themselves and responsibility for their own actions. Raise em right and let Mother Nature weed out the weak as one thing you can count on is this world is an unforgiving place and will still slaughter the lambs without the sheep dog watching over them and their will always be wolves.

Everything I Own Is Paid For
Amen. I refuse to say he/she or any of the other PC handles. Churches are even changing prayers that are hundreds of years old because the population today has no concept of what is correct grammar.
Aggression will come naturally with my boys...it's meanness that you have to watch out for. I won't stand for my boys to pick on other kids... the 6yo has heard it from me over and over 'we don't start fights, we finish them, don't ever let me catch you picking on other kids'. He goes to a school with the vast majority of kids coming from some very rough homes, some real shitheads in the group... hell, as Kindergartners they had a 'fight club' in the bathrooms! (I couldn't help myself when my son told me about it.."son, the first rule of fight club...") .
Ha!
I had the good fortune (didn't think so then) to live across the street from the neighborhood bully. When he didn't have anyone else to fight, he came looking for me. I fought that kid at least 50 times. We fought like tigers.
But when I fought other kids it wasn't even a fair fight. Fighting often relies on fear, and after fighting him for a few years I wasn't afraid of anyone.
Its funny the things that prepare you for life.

Just following Europe's lead teaching boys to squat to pee.
Keep reading articles about how our military is having difficulty creating soldiers out of the raw material they are supplied with these days. Don't know how accurate that is...
Although I played football HS and college and worked after school, I don't pretend to be anywhere near as hardened as our grandfathers great depression, WWII generation.
Thinking about this present bunch I'm reminded of Edward I line in brave heart about his son leading the army and how his weakness would inspire and embolden the enemy...

I think that since the arrival of political correctness the progressive agenda has been to make as many issues as possible a social engineering problem. The more they can apply rules for controlling social agenda the more they can control the thinking of the population. This is necessary for them to change our governing agenda to socialism. Look at the equalization criteria. Most probably don't listen to the dialogue at protest but the underlying theme is equality. This started with the everybody gets a trophy attitudes. Boys no longer had the desire/need to prove superior skills because everyone won. The attitudes carry on.
Why I have mostly chosen to live in Small Town America. Now live in a Town in the Texas Panhandle. Not Amarillo or Lubbock.
Man, I'm jelly. Hope to do the same someday.
My great grandparents and grandparents were from Plainview. Haven't been up there in a very long time.
