I think that the vast majority of wives and mothers would advise any man to spend more time mentoring and disciplining their sons. Historically the focus has been on men mentoring men to put work above family and achieve, achieve, achieve things based on profit and financial success. I see this in my husband’s father, even though his mother died and his dad was left to care for five children (absently, while working two businesses). The book ‘Even in our darkness’ by John Deere has been really helpful for my husband recently. So yes, mentoring of men by women is vital more now than ever.
