Respect starts at home

Been thinking about how we teach our boys about being gentlemen. It's not about being soft or weak. It's about standing for something. Being reliable. Keeping your word even when it costs you. Protecting those who can't protect themselves. These are old school values but they matter now more than ever. How are you guys passing this down to your kids?

100% this. My boys see me show up for them every day, and that's the real lesson. Being a gentleman means doing what you say you're going to do, no matter what. That's what sticks with them.

Love this take. My fridge is covered with drawings about 'how to be a good person' from my kids, and you're right - they're watching how we handle ourselves. Standing for something matters way more than being tough.

You nailed it. I tell my kids all the time that being strong and being respectful go hand in hand. My oldest is starting to understand that reliability is a superpower.
