Does anyone have thoughts on the correlation of how the Dad treats the Mom and the impact it has or will have on how your sons will show respect for their mom as a young son and then as an older son?
I meet young men and have seen sons who show love and respect for their moms in the way they view her and treat her. I am not talking about over the top adoration or anything to the extreme.
But I have heard young men say, its your mom and the way they say it is special.
I got to thinking that if the husband or X's in many of our situations didn't treat their wife or the mother of the children with that type of respect, then how do sons learn that?
And does this make sense?

Other family, society, church, school, television, books, etc... society has long held a "Mom" as someone special and it is reflected in most/all cultures.
Dads are just as special but the question was about Moms =)

I think it is PEOPLE. Your kids see how you treat PEOPLE< and they take their cues from there.

---> It will not only impact how they treat their mother, but will impact how they treat ALL women. It's the same with daughters...how Mom treats Dad will impact how they treat their father and ALL men.
---> And it doesn't stop there...racism, bigotry, class system...it all starts at home.

It depends. I have no respect for my mother, but I treat my wife exceptionally well, which is why we have such a successful marriage. But it more correlates to the actions that each respective woman carries out. My mother was lazy, didn't want to work, expected others to take care of her even to this day. My wife is independent, works hard and takes care of herself. So do many of the women I work with. So I treat women accordingly. Lazy ass, non motivated entitlement queens get treated like the pieces of sh!t they are. Those who work hard, take care of their own responsibilities get treated with respect. It's not hard to delineate and disseminate between the two.
