I am so overwhelmingly grateful for this mother, her words, and her efforts. I am so grateful to every mens group and dad and brother and uncle who teach the boys and men around them how to treat, respect, and interact with women. Thank you for all of your work. It is never, ever in vain. On multiple occasions we have had to sit down and discuss what is and is NOT appropriate, acceptable, allowed... I have to explain to him that when his sisters say NO, LEAVE ME ALONE that he has to leave them alone. But I was just trying to give her a kiss! NO MEANS NO. ALWAYS. But shes so cute I wanted to carry her! It isnt up to you. She wants to walk. Listen to HER words, not YOUR wants. ...But she hit me in the face with a pillow. Yes, but you are much bigger and stronger than she is. You NEVER hit back. Not even with a pillow. NO. These are typical older brother behaviors and he means well with all of them. Which is why its SO IMPORTANT to explain to him WHY it isnt okay to kiss someone who doesnt want to be kissed. To LISTEN to the words of the people you love and to RESPECT their space and bodies. The truth is, EVERYONE can be that kind of boy. Even the tender-hearted, empathetic, chess enthusiasts.
