I have found a wonderful blog post that I want to share with you. I'm going to ask that you just click the link and read Mamahadeen (Melanie)'s post on her site (on blogspot).
Although a bit different when dealing with only one boy instead of a houseful, her insights and advise is right on.
Please read and enjoy! Comment here what you think!
Mamahadeen's Teaching Boys to Be Men

Donna Conner lives in Fort Worth, TX with her husband, Glenn, their son, Mike, and their dog, Lucia. Donna and Glenn have been homeschooling their son since the beginning of his education. Mike completes his homeschooling within the next two years. Donna is an artist and has always enjoyed writing. She wrote Homeschooling Only One three years ago, after discovering that there were many other families homeschooling only one child. Her website is devoted to those with only one student in their homeschool, with listings of online resources. You can visit her website at http://donnac.com and read her blog at: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/DonnaC
