my husband said something to our son today that i haven't been able to stop thinking about.
our son was picking on his little sister and my husband got down to his level and said it's your job as a future man to listen and respect people's boundaries. you're going to be bigger than other people a lot in your life and it's not okay to use that against them. she said stop. you stop.
that's it. that's what he said.
i have never heard a man in my family talk to a boy like that. not my dad, not my brothers, nobody. i grew up around men who would have laughed it off or said something like that's just how siblings are.
my husband didn't laugh it off. he treated it like something worth stopping everything for and.......
