Here is the situation: You have your only son (or only brother) and and most of your social relatives and friends (those families that your son spend his time with most of the time) all their kids are girls!!

Your son (brother) has not got a chance to grow up with boys.

Do you or would you hold any fear that might affect your son (brother) future life?


*sorry Me is no good in reading maps*

My little brother is in a simialr situation as my family is mostly composed of females, but I have no fear that it would affect him :p He is as manly as every only playing with cars and airplanes and trucks and his favourite show on tv is Power Rangers, and he also states it by going: "Ana Rijal!!" (I'm a man :hyper:)
I had a similar discussion with a friend once, and I think that sure culture and the enviroment a person grows up in does have some influences on a person, but overall boys and girls are different creatures. My baby brother and sister have only a year of age difference between them so they pretty much grew up together, but they are both so different

as long as he has one adult good male role model to look up to, there is no fear. sometiems, being in the company of females, he asserts his male ego even further.

I dont think it effects boys, they somehow have this manly attitude from a younger age. but i'm not saying boys cant get effected from a female environment.
I think girls can get effected much faster than boys.

I hope my son learns about girls from having sisters...it will be useful for later life! But he's definitely a boy, I'm not at all worried that being the only son makes him less masculine in some way. He does ask me to get him a baby brother at some point though so he's not alone in his boy's interests. I'm thinking about it, but I did have to tell him there's a risk of more of them coming instead. ;)

If there's a father around, it's not so bad. Older brother helps too.

But failing that, I think the best thing is to treat him as someone who is supposed to look out for the girls and his mom and be responsible. And be a gentleman. Let him find his specialness and pride in that. In being different and loved for it.

And don't BABY him too much. (This is HARD for girls, especially in such a situation.)

I have been raised with girls...
True I went and spent SOME time with guys but mostly girls..
It may affect the guy if he wants to become a girl.. or something like that..

To me.. I think it did affect me because I never wanted to be like the guys since most of the guys that I met when I was young were bad...

if for example i had one son and the rest are girls i'll make sure he becomes good friends with his dad i'll let his dad teach him how to be a good man and become his role model :)

^^
Hope hat works! :) :rolleyes:

I took some role models in my life but in the end they ended up hurting me so....
No guy role models for me... But I do have 1 and until now he is great!
:D

^^ good for ya squint :p
the key is to raise him right
teach him good manners and let the Prophet :PBUH: and his own man (dad)be his role model teach him to be a good muslim and then u won't have to worry about him :cute:

So true... :)
If he is raised in a good way that will make him know what is right and wrong and then by himself he will take the right guy as his role model! :D

That is what happened to me! :)
