Mothers and their sons is such a really difficult boy-girl thing to explain. It has a lot to do with love. But also with the firm will to educate women really a decent guy … Here are 7 signs that you will do just that.
1. Your son knows exactly how to wrap mom around the finger
"Mom, you're the very best of all!" Five minutes later: "May I watch TV for a minute?" What sounds like nasty manipulation to us is honestly exactly that and nothing else. If it still works, it's a pretty clear sign that your boy can flirt. And that is probably one of the basic skills of a cool guy. After all, the woman who pulls the jackpot must first be convinced.
2. Your boy can be a boy – without a guilty conscience
Whether biology or sociology – girls and boys are not completely carved out of the same wood. Boys are often a little rougher than girls. They want to fight, cable and enjoy the competition. Are you good at that and are you able to have a little fight? Fine! The best conditions for a healthy self-image and a good dose of self-confidence for your offspring.
3. You taught your son that he is not a sultan
"Bring me my meal and then my slippers!" The world has had enough of these guys. If you have taught your son that everyone has to do their part to live together and that it is a pleasure to get involved, then you have done a damned lot right!
4. Your son owns a doll or a cuddly toy
"Darling, the child screams" No, we really don't want dads like that anymore. If boys understand early on that "taking care" is not a female character monopoly, it will one day pay off for his children. Fortunately, the "absent father" is a discontinued model. So: No, dolls are not just for girls. If necessary, a cuddly toy or a real rabbit will do the trick. The main thing is that you can take care of yourself.
5. Your son doesn't make fun of the weaker
Did you teach your son that strength is not a free ticket for arrogance and power games? Congratulations, world, a great man more on the planet!
6. You have a partner who treats you with respect
Education is love and a role model. Of course, how a cool man behaves, you can't do that as a mother so well. But if you have a great man in the house who treats you and your children with respect, then your son has a hero who is worth emulating.
7. You can talk to each other, also about feelings
Do you not only ask your son about his experiences, but also about how something felt for him? You also tell him what it looks like inside of you, even if that makes your facade crumble? It doesn't matter whether he can respond well. It is only important that he somehow stays in touch with his emotions. It doesn't take much effort, because children feel very conscious anyway. Some adults have just forgotten it. The really cool men can still do that! And the really cool mothers anyway …
