Fathers/sons

[Sophia]

Dh is a good man and a good dad.

My oldest ds has put our parenting skills to the test during his middle school years, but we have seen much growth in his maturity level in the past couple years, and I am proud to call him my son.

 

So why do these two wonderful men have to get into petty, pointless bickering time and time again?

 

Then they come to me individually to tell their side of the story~of course they both make perfect sense and I find myself seeing their respective points...so then I find myself feeling double-minded because they can't both be right, right?

 

And now they are downstairs watching tv together while I'm upstairs upset they got into another dumb argument.

 

I'm going to cry buckets when ds grows up and moves out, but I'm beginning to see why young men need to go out and establish their own territory, so to speak, lol.

They've already gotten over it.:) I would gently direct both to the door and ask them to work out their differences without putting you in the middle.
