Earlier today, I watched a Steve Harvey talk show clip where this single mother's son asked her to send him to military school, so she decides to send him. Her family is against the idea because the boy is 12, and they think he's not capable of making wise choices. Get this, the father wasn't involved in the boy's life at all. Here's the video footage:
Kudos to this young man. This mother did the right thing by sending the boy to military school so he can get the structure and discipline he needs to do big things in life. I like how she admitted that she's not a man, so she doesn't know the first thing about raising a boy into a man. So many single mothers try to raise sons into men and while some are successful, they leave out where they had father figures along the way to show their sons what manhood is about. Unless this mother's family is taking part in raising this boy, they should have several seats and let this mother continue doing the awesome job she's doing with her son. Where do some fathers get off thinking they can dictate how their kids are raised when they weren't around since Day 1, and refuse to be in their children's lives?
