Apparently the blog reader felt stay-at-home dads were being neglected.<\/p>\n
However, since the blogger was writing about herself, a mom, and not dads, on this occasion, she certainly wasn’t neglecting dads.\u00a0 Does this mean people feel slighted if we\u00a0are gender specific?<\/p>\n
Abraham Lincoln<\/strong> is quoted as saying, “All that I am, all that I hope to be, I owe my angel mother.”\u00a0 <\/a>He didn’t say father or parent; he specifically mentioned his mother and went on to list her qualities.\u00a0 He probably learned from his father, too.\u00a0 But not the same as from his mother, who actually was his step-mother, as I recall.<\/p>\n We learn from many people in our lives, but do we have to lump them together?\u00a0 Can’t we praise each for their own qualities?\u00a0 Can’t we be a specific person for our children\u00a0instead of being lumped into a general category?<\/p>\n Our lives have become too concerned about not categorizing people and not pointing out their qualities and talents and contributions.<\/p>\n Let’s be a Mom, a Dad, a Grandma, a Grandpa, an Aunt, an Uncle….not just a person, any person!<\/strong><\/p>\n Post from: Blisstree<\/a><\/p>\n
