Raising young boys to men, and being single moms !

[modagr8]

Well this was a waste of a perfectly good thread.

Perhaps I should delete it.

Naw dont do that, somebody might get something out of this...If one person is touched in a positive way, then a battle can be won...Remember knowledge is power, but knowledge aint shit if it isnt passed on...

i just got full custody of my 3 boys in april 07, i moved them out of nyc and we relocated to the south, this is by far the biggest challenge that i have ever faced in my life, but its a challenge that im looking forward to.

Congratulations! But full time parenthood is no joke! If you don't have family around you in your new city/town, try to start building a support system. If they're old enough, get them into sports, know the parents of their friends, know your neighbors...if you're religious, join a church and get them involved. Great parents know they can't do it alone. Sometimes you need a sanity break or you just need someone to talk to. They need more outlets than school and video games. Keep them active and they're more likely to be achievers, less likely to get in trouble. And no matter how intelligent and responsible they are, children who feel like they're raising themselves because they have TOO much independence grow up with a fucked up view of the world...so always be present and accounted for...

Besides, I have a daughter and, with God's help, I'm raising her the best of my abilities...so I'm countin' on ya'll to raise some good boys too and hopefully she won't get mixed up with a knucklehead
