The "other" parent is missing out on an awesome little boy.

I was a single mom too and had the same dilemma. In the end I made sure I let my son hang out with his uncles and then I met my husband who became his guide into manhood. You are doing the right thing. Honestly, we can do so much as women but we cannot teach a man how to be a man.Beauty and The Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04512886866116703635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031615612874115797.post-38429288775503511402012-07-28T22:28:39.422-04:002012-07-28T22:28:39.422-04:00Love your post.

You're inspiring and I feel as if I'm not alone. <br /><br />It's good that Aiden has a mentor. That's truly a blessing and D is such a wonderful person. God puts the right people in your life.<br /><br />And I agree with you--It can be done. And when it comes to my children, it <b>will</b> be done. They are a reflection of me. You're a wonderful mother, Alicia and I'm sure Aiden will reflect that as well.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937845670113240789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031615612874115797.post-88510413465449162332012-07-28T14:28:08.230-04:002012-07-28T14:28:08.230-04:00I think it's unfortunate that his father chose...I think it's unfortunate that his father chose not to be in his life, but he is lucky and blessed enough to have such an amazing mother like you!!

I'm grateful everyday that she realized how important that was and went out of her way to make sure it happened.
