Lessons a father teaches his son

There are many lessons a father teaches his son, lessons that instill confidence and risk taking, lessons we fathers can teach directly and indirectly like how to treat women and respect ourselves.

There was one lesson I got to give my son that I had dreamt off for many years, it would be a proud moment for me, a sign of my son talking his first steps into manhood.

I got to give my 13 year old son Christian, a lesson on shaving!

There was resistance, he wanted to hold onto the strip of fur on his upper lip, it had taken him 13 years just to get that far!
Christian also knows I will be growing a moustache for Movember which is done over the month of November, he now wants to join in too.

I assured him that once you start shaving there is no going back, shaving will now become a regular activity.
