Why doesn't it dawn on them that equality means all are equal, and not just in certain areas of choice, but in all things.Karen @ BakingInATornadohttp://BakingInATornado.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311248383208388302.post-67079840563339436042012-10-21T13:41:04.000-04:002012-10-21T13:41:04.000-04:00AMEN and AMEN and AMEN!!!

When is it appropriate to tell a boy not to cry? When is it appropriate to tell a girl not to cry? One and the same. My three sons all cry and my love has never deminished nor have I felt they were less masculine when they did. Our ability to cry is our gift. I will pray for wisdom for the mothers of these boys. If there attitude is one of scorn when their child hurts, I am concerned what happens in other circumstances.Regena Fickesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311248383208388302.post-1435376701608026372012-10-21T14:09:04.000-04:002012-10-21T14:09:04.000-04:00You are absolutely correct, Regena!!!It does make ...You are absolutely correct, Regena!!!<br>It does make a person concerned for the children all around!!! <br>I know that from now on I will praying specifically for kids like that.stacysewsandschoolshttp://stacysewsandschools.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311248383208388302.post-70855827135317645182012-10-21T14:33:35.000-04:002012-10-21T14:33:35.000-04:00I really couldn't have said that better!I do h...I really couldn't have said that better!<br><br>I do have to admit to telling BOTH of my kids (a boy and a girl) to suck it up and get over it.

I so agree with Regin...Stacy, <br> How heartbreaking. I so agree with Regina [above post] , Our Lord cried, and what a Saviour., How a mama could speak like that about her little boy, is beyond me., I have a son and <br>a daughter. I wanted them both to grow up an be responsible adults,but I also wanted them to have love and care for thier families and others. And I feel that teaching girls and boys to show emotion by crying is very important.. It does not mean they are not masculine..It means they care.<br> I know a family that has 2 girls and one boy.. and my heart goes out to this boy [he is the oldest child].The girls can do anything, the boy is made to give into thier every whelm, and if they want anything,they get it. He is constantly told to " quit complaining, quit acting like a sissy, be a boy and stop crying".. I see this child and I see hurt in his eyes, and I wonder what damage is being done to him? What will he do when he is grown? Parents should remember that girls and boys are equal.. They feel hurt, sadness, pain, happiness, just alike, and should be able to express it.. NO one is better than anyone else. My prayers are for these children, and that thier parents will see it. <br> thankyou for sharing.Judy Robersonhttp://www.facebook.com/RobersonJudynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311248383208388302.post-36382098303065131972012-10-22T03:47:39.000-04:002012-10-22T03:47:39.000-04:00How awful!!

I just don't understand how the parents can't see the damage they are doing!<br><br>We should all be able to express all of our emotions in a healthy way! Compassion especially! And if we teach our boys to not show those feelings we are robbing them of those feelings. They will believe they shouldn't feel sadness or compassion for others. <br>All I know to do is pray, pray and pray.stacysewsandschoolshttp://stacysewsandschools.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
