You're right. The teens are harder. But let me encourage you. When Justin was in his early teens, it seemed that he forgot all that he had been taught about being a gentleman. But now that's he's 18, he's suddenly remembered again. And Keith, who is 14, has forgotten.
What helped alot with both of them is that Walt is the perfect example of a true gentleman. He always gets the doors for me (and other women), always...................... well, he's a gentleman  I am blessed!

I'll tell all the dirty little secrets...  
Has he caught up on his sleep yet? My girl took about 3 days to get it all worked out, of course it didn't help that she had to go to work the day after she got home!

Yeah, he is caught up but I don;t recognize him. He learned some great habits on the trip and we are encouraging him to keep them!

Renda,
Absolutely the role he played in King Arthur because I do not know him in person.
Maybe men assume things before they really get to know a woman. The things women my age and independence need is not necessarily money and prestige, but companionship, friendship, and romantic passion.
Taken care of for me would be emotionally and not financially although he needs to be financially secure because I am not willing to take care of a man financially. Been there, done that, and bought the tee shirt.
Blessings, Rhoni

A real man is not intimidated by an accomplished woman, but seeks to encourage her success in whatever endeavors she wishes to pursue.

Yes Margie, I am a true romantic...poetry, candlelight, flowers, and unique gifts. King Arthur is the ideal man for me.

I was being facetious, lol.
Actually, in some cases, I think women confuse "intimidating" a man with "annoying" a man, lol.
There is a difference in being a strong woman, and being an overbearing woman. And, the same goes for men.
Most men want a strong, non-clingy, motivated woman who has a life of her own, but when a woman is continually questioning him, and telling him how great she is, and how much better her ideas are than his, a man tends to hit the road! And, vice versa.
So, I've found that there are certain women who constantly complain that no man is worthy of her, when in reality, no man will hang around when she opens her mouth!
AND VICE VERSA.......for the sake of equality.

Verrry true, but I do believe they are in the minority.
Especially If a woman is bright, brainy, high achiever....many men cannot handle it. (not my problem lol ) I have seen this as an issue with the church in that men are the "head" and often cannot handle the competition!
