I don’t have a son but I’m certainly witnessing the degradation and dissolution of boys and men in American culture, for so many reasons. Dad isn’t around, Mom won’t stop mothering them, the racial issues and intersectional hierarchy leaves white males at the bottom of the respect pile. It’s a crime and I can only hope that the culture is slowly turning back to something more rational, but meanwhile if you are a single mother in that environment I really don’t know what you do. I agree with all of your statements and I hope that good men will be given the respect they deserve but also given skills to peacefully claim respect if they don’t get it for reasons that have nothing to do with them.

Hi Jayne, “When we bad mouth the other parent, we bad mouth half the child” — that is a very good way to put it. Thank you for commenting 🙂

As a single Mum of a now 20 year old, I’d say the number one thing to give a teenage boy is a sense of responsibilty. Chores that they are soley responsible for, chores they need to share with others in the household, be responsible for preparing and cooking at least one meal for the household per week, finacial responsibility of money they earn doing work outside the home.
Dealing with anger: My son and I argued like dogs sometimes! I never backed down. Under my roof, my rules.
Dealing with the other parent: I read a book early on in my single motherhood called “Parenting Apart” I can’t remember the author, it was a library book. In it, she educated that a child is made up of half the father and half the mother. When we bad mouth the other parent, we bad mouth half of our child and they will always feel a part of their self is not acceptable.
