Today one of my friends asked if I would want my son to date a woman like me, "Hell No," excuse my language. But it got me thinking. I like who I am as a person, I enjoy being with me, I really don't have any drama or hang-ups to speak of, but I know that who I am is not who he needs. And that's okay.
As I thought about it a little more, it presented me with more questions than answers. Why do women date men that they wouldn't dare accept as their daughter's mate? Why do men treat women disrespectfully, but would kill if a another man treated their daughter that way? Why?
I guess the logical answer is that we want more for our children. Better careers, better education, better lives, and better relationships. What we need to remember is that we as parents or role models set the example, and at the end of the day we should want more for ourselves.
