Play a sport. It will teach you how to win honorably, lose gracefully, respect authority, work with others, manage your time and stay out of trouble. And maybe even throw or catch.<\/p>\n<p>2. You will set the tone for the sexual relationship, so don&#8217;t take something away from her that you can&#8217;t give back.<\/p>\n<p>3. Use careful aim when you pee. Somebody&#8217;s got to clean that up, you know.<\/p>\n<p>4. Save money when you&#8217;re young because you&#8217;re going to need it someday.<\/p>\n<p>5. Allow me to introduce you to the dishwasher, oven, washing machine, iron, vacuum, mop and broom. Now please go use them.<\/p>\n<p>6. Pray and be a spiritual leader.<\/p>\n<p>7. Don&#8217;t ever be a bully and don&#8217;t ever start a fight, but if some idiot clocks you, please defend yourself.<\/p>\n<p>8. Your knowledge and education is something that nobody can take away from you.<\/p>\n<p>9. Treat women kindly. Forever is a long time to live alone and it&#8217;s even longer to live with somebody who hates your guts.<\/p>\n<p>10. Take pride in your appearance.<\/p>\n<p>11. Be strong and tender at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>12. A woman can do everything that you can do. This includes her having a successful career and you changing diapers at 3 A.M. Mutual respect is the key to a good relationship.<\/p>\n<p>13. &#8220;Yes ma&#8217;am&#8221; and &#8220;yes sir&#8221; still go a long way.<\/p>\n<p>14. The reason that they&#8217;re called &#8220;private parts&#8221; is because they&#8217;re &#8220;private&#8221;. Please do not scratch them in public.<\/p>\n<p>15. Peer pressure is a scary thing. Be a good leader and others will follow.<\/p>\n<p>16. Bringing her flowers for no reason is always a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>17. It is better to be kind than to be right.<\/p>\n<p>18. A sense of humor goes a long way in the healing process.<\/p>\n<p>19. Please choose your spouse wisely. My daughter-in-law will be the gatekeeper for me spending time with you and my grandchildren.<\/p>\n<p>20. Remember to call your mother because I might be missing you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I shared this on Facebook and think the sentiment is awesome enough to share here as well.. +++++ TWENTY THINGS A MOM SHOULD TELL HER SON 1.
