lately I've been thinking and I came across this subject about fathers. I was talking to one of my best friends and he was like he's going fishing with his dad. I knew his family for so long so hearing that never bothered me but at that time I was frustrated. I never really set down and thought about how much that really affected me, but it did.
My mother I love her so much and she did a great job with me. but I was thinking about my life and how she used to tell me to do certain things in the house and if they didn't get done she would tell me " u suppose to be the man of the house". It took me a long time to think on that, I really did and i came up with, how do you really be a man? I mean I been hearing it my whole life over and over, but I never really knew what it meant to be a man. my mother used to tell that but I don't think she thought about what she said. she was telling me to be something I was never taught to be.At the same time I was expected to already know how to do it.That was really hard on my to try and find out how to be a man own my own just so I can do what moms said.
That's why I feel like a lot more men need to step up to the plate and take care of there kids. It affects them in so many ways to the point where there don't ever realize. But when I thought about it even more I figured out that the reason why they weren't there is because their fathers were never there to show them how a mans suppose to be. more and more young youth are growing up without a male figure in there lives and we love the mothers but it's just some things that momma can't teach you. That's one reason why I feel like young men in today's society are taking the turn for the worst and momma just can't understand whats goin on, not knowing that all men go threw it she makes you feel like your nasty or dumb.
Everything that our mother teaches us just doesn't work like that when we get older and ready to embark on life. lets say your 14 and your friends wanna go out and play some ball. as mothers always do they let you go out and when you get to the court and see the guys playing, you go up to them and said " excuse me but whenever you are done I would love to play with you guys". They turn look at each other and laugh. knowing their laughing at you, your not mad because of the laugh, your mad because your confused at what momma taught you is not working with the boys.You can't blame mother because shes nowhere near a man, but it would of been nice to have so one who can show you through life and help you avoid a few bumps and bruises. That's why I feel we need more fathers to man up to there jobs and teach these young guys how to be someone there mom has been telling them to be there whole life and that is a man.Lets keep the mothers and daughters but more fathers and sons.
