I recently got a call from my middle sons school. They told me he was acting up.
Specifically that he would talk down to them as if they were his age and didn't seem to show them the appropriate amount of respect. After speaking to him about the teachers accusation he did not deny any of it. He said for the most part what the teacher had told me was true.
The kicker was when he told me, that I taught him to be that way. That I taught him to take nothing from anybody. I gave that a lot of thought thinking about all the conversation we had when he was young. Where we were from this Ideology was necessary to survive. It was what I was taught and lived my life by and even at this point of my life its still a concept that shapes my morality. So here is my dilemma , do admit I was wrong or do let him continue to pound his chest and show his dominance after all he is my son and its in his blood.
