raising men

I am a mother of 2 daughters. I have always wanted a boy ever since my 1st pregnancy. However I am 7 weeks pregnant and I feel maybe this one is a boy.... I know how to raise girls.... polite, respectful, love themselves etc. But how does a woman raise a man with a good head on there shoulders, one that will respect and appreciate others. Be a gentleman.... and just be different from all these so called men now a days.....

-just thinking- :-)

Im like that its just I have 2 boys already and pregnant now with a girl...  I know with girls and boys the main thing is to be a good role model and example with them of course they will make mistakes but all u can do is instill good morals and values in them...so as I got my pregnancy confirmation I just knew this was a girl I felt it..I hope you get ur boy

I understand what your going through i have 4 boys and i have done it almost alone, i have raised them with everything you have said, as long as you communicate and are able to balance being a mom and friend you shouldn't have any problems... it is tough but i kept mine in sports and they had great role models...dont worry everything will fall in place and you will know What to do when the time is right!
