'Fight for the passion of mothers because their passion and identity is walked over the minute they give birth'

Ensuring our kids grow up to be happy, healthy and confident adults are not the only things us parents have to do.

We also have to teach them to respect others. And that at the end of the day is one of the most important things us mums will do.

Which is why we were delighted when we read Constance Hall’s open letter to her son’s on post on her Facebook page.

Hoping to influence “just one part” of their relation with “the almighty womankind” she gave wrote:” For when my dearest sons grow up, for their friends and any other young men who might cross paths with this ramble about chicks.

All women are different, you'll never master them. You'll probably never even master one.

But if I can influence just one part of your relationship with the almighty womankind I'll be a happy woman.

Starting off by giving her kids she tells them to speak to them with respect.

“The way you speak about women will define your happiness with them. A woman you've slept with or want to sleep with or were married to or just met at the pub. Nothing wins a woman over more than knowing she is being spoken about with respect.”

However, that is not the only advice the Australian mum-of-three gave; from touching on the topic of periods and sex, Constance tries to cover as much as she can in order for her sons to grow up respecting women.

“Fight for the passion of mothers. Because their passion and identity is walked over the minute they give birth. Put your woman first and fight for her right to still be an individual,” she wrote.

“Don't forget or let her forget who she was when you met her, the crazy, creative, soul burning or mysteriously shy, sexy individual woman that she was.

“In a world that will try and convince her not to fight for her rights to be first, force her to be her own star.

“Stand by her side, share your money with her, respect her friends, buy her the good wine, don't let her beauty threaten you.

“You don't own anyone, you’re just lucky if she chooses to walk the same road as you for a while. Brighten that road or when a fork presents you might find yourself on the lonely side.”
