Although we are not Christian (nor any faith following, for that matter) my husband was raised to always be a gentleman, and we are now raising our son the same way. Ladies first, always open the door for ladies, etc. At three years old he opens the door for his sister and Mommy and says "After you!" - it is so cute! Unfortunately, as you stated being a true gentleman seems to be a dyeing breed. At least we know there will be a few of them out there in the world in a couple of years ;)Kimhttp://www.momamusings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7372879994567557105.post-26263034914081071882012-07-04T08:49:59.024-04:002012-07-04T08:49:59.024-04:00Do you know how great it is that you teach your ki...Do you know how great it is that you teach your kids?

I’m not Christian, but my boyfriend is, and I’m grateful because he’s opened me up to a lot more about the Christian faith – as it was intended to be before man started to twist it for his own benefit. I used to be wary about Christianity because my experiences were usually with those who were quick to tell me my views were totally wrong and bring me down. Instead, my boyfriend and I discuss the ways our faiths are similar – those aspects at the core which show we’re not so very different after all. I’ve always believed in Christ, just in a different light than a Christian would. But I believe in what he taught, and I’m happy I have someone to discuss those teachings with in an open, positive way now. I’m also happy to read what you wrote! Those are the aspects of all faiths that should be focused on: how to be a better human being. Not how to separate ourselves from one another.Geetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08633555734347821697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7372879994567557105.post-80705656418711505302012-07-03T11:37:24.881-04:002012-07-03T11:37:24.881-04:00I have a son (1 year old) and I LOVE your point of...I have a son (1 year old) and I LOVE your point of view!

I hope that my kids generally are chivalrous to *all* people they are with. Whether they be girls, boys, elders, strangers. It's nice to hold open a door for someone else when you both get to one at the same time, it's just polite.<br /><br />Also, I do love it when a man opens a door for me, I fully admit it. But I also don't *expect* it. I suspect that the issue many people may have with "chivalry" is the thought that women (or whomever is on the receiving end of the kindness) feel "entitled". I figure that as long as you're not teaching your girls to expect that a door will *always* be held open for them, then there's nothing wrong with teaching your boys to be kind. :-)Venushttp://imnotwritinganovel.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7372879994567557105.post-36826015507038851792011-12-15T11:49:05.365-05:002011-12-15T11:49:05.365-05:00Good for you!!!
