The challenge of raising boys is exactly that...a challenge. :o) It will be very hard to keep all that junk away from him, and in the world today it will be pretty much impossible. But it is our goal to keep those things away from him as much as possible. Our goal is also to raise him with a disdain of such things. Thankfully God will be with us the whole time teaching us as we teach him. :o)<br /><br />Holly, it is so hard being looked and as over protective parents. Or I guess I should say, it was so hard. We have both gotten used to it and have pretty much accepted that we're viewed that way. But we're good with it! haha It is however very nice to find other parents with the same views and "over protectiveness" as us. :o)Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444460552683685397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290464394079375492.post-47198144196670855852011-03-21T08:33:38.746-05:002011-03-21T08:33:38.746-05:00Great post Jamie!

We take a lot of heat from family for being "over protective" as well. It just seems that with every generation parents become more lax about what is appropriate and what is not. I look at our world today and the things that children are watching. Those things weren't even allowed on tv when we were kids. It's nice to know we aren't the only parents trying to raise godly men and women!Holly@LunchBoxesAndLaundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996855372131971018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290464394079375492.post-83719981742169660562011-03-19T06:42:24.514-05:002011-03-19T06:42:24.514-05:00I was planning to write a piece on boys so was ple...I was planning to write a piece on boys so was pleased to stumble onto yours. This is my first visit to your blog (so hi). <br /><br />It is hard to go anywhere without seeing women dress immodestly, short skirts and tops that show far more than necessary. However it is on TV, front covers of magazines (on display in news agencies), music clips (these are very bad) and even on the news that women are being sexualised. You have a up hill battle to prevent your son from all this and I pray that you are able to do this. <br /><br />Lovely to "meet" you.
