Boys will be boys is a crock

One way to stop abortion is to keep our boys from impregnating our girls. Plain and simple. Oh? You say Naïve?

We first take the notion of “Boys will be boys” and teach our boys to be moral. Responsible. Gentlemen.

Instead of legislating abortion, we must not only teach morals, we must be moral ourselves. Many ideas of impregnating a girl come from TV, Movies, and many video games. Turn it off. Shut it down. A naïve notion? Not really.

What are we adults afraid of when attempting to limit or “sensor” boy’s activities. We adults must come to a group consensus and an agreement to be consistent. Then we must provide boys meaningful activities to fill in the void. Mow the lawn. Clean up their rooms. Play sports. Work part-time. On and On. Plenty to do. All the while and as a collective, parents must watch out for all neighborhood kids. That means sharing questionable behavior with all parents.

On the other end of the spectrum, girls must be modest. Dress sensibly and not flaunting physical endowments. Keep it under wraps and loose fitting. Mom’s, this means you. Help your girls to keep a lid on it. They too need morals. Romance is a troublesome notion. Romance is a fantasy and not a good rule of thumb. Keep them busy as well. Sports, part-time work, volunteer, and there is plenty of activities to keep them busy as well. No kids should be idle. Read a book. Whatever.

Facebook has no meaningful purpose in life. Good hard work does. Moms and Dads should learn to be parents and not their Childs best friend. Parenting is more moral that being an enabling friend. We are not here to bail our kids out of trouble. We are here to teach our kids and grandkids how to stay out of trouble. Discipline is good. Looking the other way is bad. Time out can be a good teaching tool. Grounding, limiting, and a good talking can often help.
