I have to give my son credit! After watching me being a single mom of three , receiving my RN degree at the same time, my son is working extra hours so his wife can stay home till their daughter goes to school! I’m so proud of him!!! He said he didn’t want his wife to have to miss the early years like I did!!!

"A woman will raise their daughters, but will keep their sons" OMG so true for many. I'm glad Shuler put it all in perspective.

[@bluewave3417]

Mothers aren't wrong for that though. The problem is there aren't enough fathers to balance it out. My wife surely raises our daughter. But it balances out with me because I know I have a soft spot for my baby girl. Sons don't need their mothers to turn "hard" to deal with them. They need their fathers to be that balance.

[@kathleenking47]

My 1st cousin's son fits this exactly. He is 35 y/o, lives with her, doesn't want to pay toward rent and utilities, treats her like shit, and she takes it because she depends on the cupla dollars she can wrestle out of him. He is a total user, disrespectful, has a good-paying job but cannot manage his money. He blames her for all his problems. She is as weak as tap water. The son is her son-husband, but an abusive one. I've told her don't tell me about how he treats her anymore. IT'S HER FAULT.

[@LoniLoni11]

😲😲😲😲😲

[@indigoGoddess7]

Bingo! That’s her surrogate husband. The other day, I was out doing some shopping and an elderly lady came up to me. It was a light conversation at first, but I quickly realized that she was looking for someone to dump her 💩on. She started complaining about how her son never treated her well, yet she moved from her country to help him and his sick wife. 😫😩 When she waited for my response, I gave her something different. “If there’s an issue with your child. You need to consult those who raised him to be that way.” I continued with my day. I’m avoiding more and more people because these same women will spoil their surrogate husbands and then get angry at women who don’t engage with them.

Yesssssss! It's prevalent in the black communities. The only ones still at home are my male cousins. My neighbour still has her 52 year old son still living with her. I was out by 17 and had my first house by 27 and my cousin who is now 45 is still at home with my aunt blaming everyone for his lack of opportunities 🤣🤣🤣. I say sorry cuz then go back to my house!

[@loisbanks4030]

My dad showed me the definition of a man with his actions growing up. I know that a man is the head of the house, takes care of his family and protects them, prays for his family, and doesn’t use the economy to dictate if he can buy food and pay bills. I saw my dad get up every day and provide for his family! My dad spent 30 years in the army and he was a very disciplined hard working man! Daddy didn’t play and he took care of business! I saw my dad plant a garden, buy groceries, cook, clean, work, go hunting, and pay the bills. If a male walked up to me and he didn’t have strong work ethics of manhood, I knew instantly that wasn’t a man! I learned how to be a strong woman watching my dad! My mother was a strong woman as well. Mom took care of business! I was blessed to have seen a true old-school example of a man and a woman! After watching my parents, I determined to be everything good that God created me to be and I made sure that my children grew up to be responsible and productive people in the world! Bring back the old-school teaching that included strong work ethics and quality standards of living for men and for women. Good old-school teaching skipped some generations and a lot of people have their hand out instead of getting up to step into their purpose in life!

This is spot on. One thing I learned about a man that helps around the home and pay bills is if they resent it the whole time you might as well be by yourself.

We built music boxes. Gah, good memories. ☺️ And the school didn't care if the student was a girl, boy, whatever. If your bottom was in a seat, you were being taught. Period. I'll never forget that. My siblings and I are over 40 now, and we can keep a home and handle our personal affairs. God is good. 🙌🏽

Yes, Yes, my Home Economics teacher in Middle School was Mrs Grantham, one of the few names I remember because I learned life skills in her class. Of course my family taught us life skills too. All of my male cousins and my brother can cook and do laundry and clean a house... Female relatives can make sure the car maintenance is kept up, I was taught how to change the oil on a car but never had to, and change a tire if necessary.. well rounded human beings are an asset. Also my father said he didn't want us to have to depend on other people.

Growing up in a household where your mother puts all the responsibility on you, leans on you for everything but spoils your lazy younger brother who never cleaned a dish, washed his own clothes or took out the trash not once in his life is rough and after awhile I became slightly resentful. My brother is also schizophrenic and bipolar and has abusive and erratic tendencies. I’ve been attacked by him on 2 separate occasions that damaged my left ear drum. I used to envy the fact he always got what he wanted, was doted on and catered to and was spoiled rotten but now I just feel sorry for him. It did him no real good.

Now at 35 he has what I call a homeownership job at a company in California. I adore you Schuler but please don’t lump ALL single mother’s in the same bucket. Also, the Oakland Black community was the backbone in helping me raise this wonderful man. I just told him yesterday “I worry for you because I’m your Mama, BUT, I’m Not worried About you. “😉💜

Oh I thank GOD for a firm foundation! Raised a daughter and 3 sons. 3 college graduates. Daughter professional with a master’s. 2 sons completing their master’s. 1 son completing undergrad. GOD was in the details. Placed godly men and women, family in our lives to lead and guide all my children with me. GLORY HALLELUJAH AMEN IT IS WELL!!!

[@cynthiaward4512]

My siblings and myself did the same kind of work growing up..our parents didn't discriminate..

[@sexidex6165]

Truth, truth, and MORE TRUTH!!! Thank you SHULER for the inspiring educational moment. On top of ALL the laughs I love your realness. 💪🏾🙏🏾

[@biancaelmore7617]

What they didn’t see or choose to ignore WHY they have to do it themselves. You see your mom alone, but it doesn’t dawn on you that you dad left. You don’t RESPECT her, you EXPECT IT.

[@universallove878]

There should be a conversation had at the beginning. What kind of relationship are you looking for? Domestic? or Free Willy? If you are a domestic (like cooking, cleaning, taking care of someone), then that is what you should be telling the person your interested in. If you are Free Willy, then there are plenty of fish jumping in ponds, lakes, rivers, and oceans, ready to swim. I wish people would just be honest from the jump. Maybe the world would be a better place. 🙌🙌💯💯

FACTS!! THESE DAYS HAS MESSED UP OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS!!

[@individualwoman8427]

My 17 yr old son is very aware of what I go thru as a single mum. He does not ask for much he helps around the house and has an understanding of why I have to do what I do. I hope he shows he’s future woman the same respect and understanding he shows me.

[@aprilfoster4725]

I always said that a boy is best raised by a man. I only can love and nurture him and teach him the opposite mirror behavior of women in a males role. But a man can give him the posture.

[@buttarain27]

I'm a woman that was mostly raised by my grandparents on my dad's side and my younger brothers were raised by mom pretty much excusively (my dad was in our lives but not in the way he should have been). I grew up, went to college, lived on my own, worked outside the country...etc. Two of my younger brothers (28, 34), have never, I mean NEVER lived outside of home. We all live together with my mom right now (splitting bills of course, as grown folks should) and my mom works a full-time job (she's 67), she works about 10 hours daily. My youngest brother had two jobs but couldn't handle it, so he's back to one. One night him and I were in the kitchen and he was talking about coming home to a home cooked meal (my mom ALSO speands most of the weekend cooking for the upcoming week, she calims she wants a good meal when she gets home but I know what it's actually for). I said, "I'm good", and he was like, come on, everybody likes to come home to a home cooked meal, and I said, "I'm a grown-ass woman, if I want a home cooked meal, I can do it myself and not depend on my 67 year-old full-time working mother to do it", he didn't like that answer but he shut-up. He won't do anything around the house and he won't help with my mom's 2 cats, mind you, when HE had a cat, my mom took care of it more than he did. I have to put the blame on BOTH my parents though, she spoiled him and my dad didn't know how to discipline without being abusive and neglectful. Damn shame.

[@keyboardfreedomfighter5734]

Too many women PICK the wrong man to have children with....and then end up attempting to “do it all alone”....my mom went after the wrong men.....too many times. The children suffer.

[@willmallory9085]

100% facts! I helped Dad and both Grandpas fix cars, garden, do yard work, go to work, and only cooked if a lady wasn't home (or when 1 Grandma died). Thank GOD for their example for me to follow.

[@RandomlyGenius]

Facts only.. get off yo butt and make that damn sandwich Tyrone 😂

[@rosylipz]

Not my mama and not my daddy!!! Two hardworking individuals who made sure we knew not only how to but did them as well. Sewing, cleaning, cooking, handwashing etc.🙂🙏🏽🙌🏽

[@melbaknowlton]

So many people don’t realize that your upbringing has everything to do with you becoming the person you are and the person you ultimately be with! Whether it’s good or bad examples you take that into your life with you!

[@adrianlynnministries]

I absolutely see no lies detected!

[@fatimapruitt8008]

Church!..I'm a single mother of 3.im blessed to say they saw my brother take care of his family. I had some uncles and older male cousins that helped me raise them. Two are young men, they cut the grass, they work,they keep the house clean, they are responsible. I heard my son say I don't want to have kids until I get married.

[@f.-j.j.5738]

Heard about that brother who shot his pregnant sister 8 times because she was asking him to contribute towards the bills while living under her roof? She survived and says her whole family coddled that man into expecting other people to do everything for him.

If you can't say 'Amen' say 'Ouch'.

[@DanSanChannel]

My mother worked 5 jobs and acted like mother and a father. So now i work 12 shifts, and before i broke up with my ex i would go home cook and clean. Because i seen my mom do it. I wasn’t even aware this was odd until recently.

[@ginam2817]

Take your life back and find a work/life balance..

[@DanSanChannel]

I did and dumped my ex and found a woman that appreciates my hard work. She actually cooks and cleans before i get home for me. 😉

[@16blank45]

You preaching today!!!

[@terrytaylor1928]

Truth be told! My mom raised me to be responsible and i never looked back! If me and a women live together we gon help each other.its a two way street

[@kole9158]

my mother never kept me, are you crazy, I'm a grown man that keeps house better then most women and learned to cook from 12 years old, my mother was MILITANT, but she also raised me with a lot of love, discipline and patience, theres not much i cant do because my mother could do everything from DIY to simple electrics and decorating, i was raised to be able to do everything in preparation for when i have my own family and women are always blown away by how domesticated and resourceful i am - i dont need a 2nd mother, im fortunate to have an amazing one already, i need a partner who respects me and supports me in everything - but she does have to love herself also, i lot of you don't love yourselves as you should, so you don't take pride in your actions when it pertains to your self care physically and spiritually, and this goes for men too - women arent here to fix and build you they're here to love, support and compliment your manhood by providing you a family and making your house a home, stop being lazy, get up and work on yourselves, so that the right woman can flourish and empower you

[@brendafizer6444]

My son is 30 yrs old. His Dad passed away in 2003 when he was 9 yrs old. Let’s be clear, I taught him as well as my daughter to cook, clean & yes sew buttons on his shirt. However, I taught them both to cut grass, pull weeds etc. On certain things w/ my son, I was Blessed that his late uncle (my baby brother) & his Godfather stepped up to the plate & taught him things that me as a woman couldn’t. I am Forever Grateful to both my brother & his Godfather for helping me w/ my son.

[@markeesebutler]

Praise to my father and uncles 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 after granddaddy passed they definitely stepped up for the whole family

[@galaxygirl9253]

My ex was so loving and caring,provided and protected me though out my 20’s. He was raised by his father, Sadly he feel into drugs and went to prison. I didn’t have a father growing up but this person showed me what a real man does and how to treat a woman and I want ever take anything lower.Most good man are not taken there at work All most all the time are just extremely busy working on there crafts/hobby ❤

[@afroniquebraidsweaves]

I've been saying this for years...I told my ex boyfriend mom that years ago about her son.. She was doing everything for him and then he expected me to do what his mom was doing...I was like naw

[@mylesburris3885]

I'm a man, and I live alone, and my place is SPOTLESS!!!!! Absolutely SPOTLESS! And I learned it from my Fantastic Father!!!!

[@Beetwixt_N._Janeen2112]

FACTS‼️ I love ❤️ my mother but she fits this bill, properly smh 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@vanessascott1039]

Absolutely. Speak the TRUTH Mr. Schuler. 👌👌👌👍👍👍

[@Heyu7her3]

(to some of the comments) Can we PLEASE let go of this notion that 2-parent households are not capable of fault? Broken/ abusive/ exploitative fathers will still produce broken/ abusive/ exploitative sons. It's still up to the son once he becomes a grown man to seek healing and re-parent himself.

[@hisbigal]

I’m a single woman, but my house isn’t the cleanest. It’s also not a pig sty. I do clean the place regularly, do the laundry, clean the cats’ litter boxes (you DO NOT want an unclean litter box, because cats will do their business in your house, and then you’re wondering where the hell is that nasty smell coming from) and dust the place. Only my work space is disorganised (at least to the untrained eye), and there would hell to pay if someone were to touch my desk (namely; I’m the hell, and I will deny your existence afterwards). I was also raised by a single mother, but also my grandmothers and five crazy uncles. Being an only child, I learned to care for my self very early on in life, so I have no tolerance for lazy people.

[@rashondadani]

“Raise your daughter but just keep your son” THAT THERE WORD 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@TheConnonedrum]

This is truth.

[@kw.5778]

Me,and mybig brother was raised by a strong Beautiful black woman not kept us who taught us how to become independent and strong for ourselves and prepared us for the real world by always telling us the truth about any thing we asked her that was important to us in the world growing up in 89.

[@angelwalker4603]

So thankful I was raised by a man so I know a real one when I see one. My momma is a real one too.

[@micaj4437]

Danggghhhh Shuler! You do NOT cut corners!! Saying the exact 1000% truth!

[@keyahughey4417]

Going through this as we speak...

[@dvyneentertainmentonline1835]

This is so true Shuler King, and your examples are right on point too. I miss my Mom, she was a house wife with the most essential skills in raising a family there could ever be BUT I am often reminded by my wife of 21 years that this is a new day and she ain't about that. She's busy working on her own goals, career and projects and can't be expected to fulfill the necessities of a grown man.

[@TheConnonedrum]

My parents got divorced when I was young, but my dad was still part of my life and the household. Way too often we got people out here men and women talking about they can do the family thing by themselves not seeing what could happen.

[@shermanwest]

Amen, you are so right!!!

[@corycarthan282]

I agree to disagree. Some of us men who have watched our mother do it all turn out to be very helpful and also the head of our house because we know how hard it was for our mother😎😎❤️❤️👌🏾👌🏾

[@sheilahill3876]

💯

[@paulineviverette7769]

Shuler, you just made me a fan forever! You are a genius! And you tell it like it is. You tell the truth and the truth shall make us free! Free as a people, free as a community, free and mature as males and females, in our roles as lovers, parents, men, women, who will rise to rule their homes, their communities, their nation , the world! How else shall the prophecy be fulfilled!

[@suzymae1]

Unfortunately I think this is probably very true.

[@raquelespino5088]

My sons and daughters are both hard working. I taught them as teens. I can't stand those men that stay at home smoking, and playing games while mom has 2 or 3 jobs. No damn way I can't take care of grown folks.🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

[@sandraanderson5640]

Amen...... Preach Shuler!!!!

Ooh ooh yeah congratulations SHULER you telling the truth
