re: How to raise sons to be confident and successful today in a big city?

Be a man and lead by example. I have two that just made 17 and they are by all accounts good kids on the right track. Good grades, have fun, but know when not to take it too far most of the time, hunt, fish, have a successful lawn/ landscape/ firewood business for highschool kids. We live in city but they drive trucks, wear boots. They don’t take shite off most, but know when to be respectful to adults regardless if they are wrong. Been known to wreck 4 wheelers, boats or a minor vehicle fender bender. Pretty much boys being allowed to be boys like I was and my friends were and we have all grown up to be successful strong backboned men.
