Teaching Boys to be Men (52)

I am the end result of a Private all Bys school education .. and LooK how farked up I am ....


........................................................

I don't know about sewing and making beds, maybe better if they taught them

* not to swear in public or in front of girls/ladies at least
* not to ever hit a girl EVER (RL players take note!)
* have respect for anyone in authority, teachers, police, your elders, you can disagree with what they say but do it in the right way??

* break up a fight - not egg them on
* have a little consideration for older people who were young once, especially when riding skateboards in public areas, make way for them on crowded pavements etc.

Just general good manners which seem to have disappeared almost today??

I was ironing my own shirts at nine and sewing the buttons on, as well as chopping the wood lighting the water heater, I even own a sewing machine now, and I know how too use it too! I have offered to teach the kid how too use it but she would rather use all my safety pins up?
I think most of these things should be taught at home but some kids just wont listen to their parents no matter what, I had a two weeks or four half hour classes at school in home-ecs and cooking, when I finished school I became a baker pastry cook for a few years as well as a machine operator,

Its amazing when you think about it how you can use what seams to be a simple device or machine, on just how it can prepare you for other things, other jobs?

One of the best lessons I was taught was about drugs, especially the worst drug of them all - alcohol.

In all my life I never found a woman that mended or knew how to mend sox.

It's a waste of time these days - sox got hole in, chuck em out and buy a new pair?????
