We are blessed with sons and daughters - and we love them all! Such a difference though in how we tend to parent them. With your daughters, you are always in protection mode. You want them to grow up with a sweet spirit that loves the Lord, you cherish sweet cuddly times, you play beauty parlor and paint toenails. You love to watch them care for their baby dolls knowing that one day they will be wonderful, loving mothers.
With boys you are always in training mode. You want them to be loving husbands and providers for a future family. You want them to love the Lord so that they will be the Christian leadership in their homes. Play time consists more of wrestling with Dad, and everything is louder and rougher. No painted toenails, but a few repainted and repaired walls :0)
We are certainly not perfect parents, but we have very loving and forgiving children. We are blessed, blessed, blessed!
