In reply to Sally.

To be fair, he also doesnâ€t say, â€œYoung women donâ€t need strong role models.â€

Even so, I wonder if the research he claims exists indicates a need for young women to have strong role models.

He says " Young men need strong role models. Research has shown that males would grow up with our any or little male contact tend to be ill disciplined as well as other unsavoury problems."

He doesn't say youth need strong role models only young men

I donâ€t see how he implies any of those things in his comment.

both.. J is implying imho that only boys need strong role models.. like young women don't? and that only males with little male contact tend to be ill disciplined? Does that mean that females with little female contact grow up ill disciplined?

Mum, what are you disagreeing with J regarding? That young men need strong role models or that research exists that indicates males with little male contact tend to be ill disciplined?

J I disagree with you. My husband worked out of town the strong majority of the time we were raising out children. Our 4 sons have not grown up to be ill disciplined or have unsavory problems. Kim what topic are you talking about that you have had to re-read it?

I wouldn't imagine a home teaching visit would ever be a good time to discuss marriage problems, since home teachers visit the whole family. It's about giving a spiritual message and finding out how they can serve the family....and it's a priesthood responsibility.

Visiting Teachers are really much better to talk to about issues since they're assigned just to visit you.
