I am so sick of boy-mom sh*T

I have 2 boys, 5 and 7 years old. I would never post anything with a #boymom tag, but I did find this video hilarious and on point

I’m a girl mom, my sister is a boy mom, and I would 100% agree.

That video is funny.
I’ve got a girl and it’s a mix of both. I think for most of us it’s a mix, but the video is cute.

Agreed! My daughter leaves a room and it’s like the Tasmanian devil swept through with one purpose. When all the boy and/or girl moms get together, we all want to sip from a thermos in a park

Is this the 50s forum???

ThT'smwhat I'm thinking. I'm a girl mom, but I've seen the boymom thing on Facebook. It's usually memes. I can't believe there are mom's of only boys who don't get it. For what it's worth, I don't have a problem with it. It's basically just light hearted venting over how hard it is to have only boys.

As a father of 3 girls, I literally have no idea. I do miss having awesome Nerf dart guns....er.... Nerf dart "dispensers"

Why aren't your girls playing with nerf blasters? My childhood girl and boy friends in the 70s/80s played with this kind of stuff all the time. And frankly, a lot of the girls were far better athletes in our neighborhood, and were also the first girls I remember middle school boys having crushes on. I swear today people are waaaay more gender conscious. I do not get it. Maybe it's due to the culture around here.

A mom who only has boys and is always surrounded by boys.

Pretty much once you have boys moms of girls dump you because your kids are too crazy and you find yourself with friends that are moms of boys.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I have two girls. My best friend has two boys. We spend tons of time together with all of our kids. Our friendship has not suffered one bit due to our childrens' genders.

Glad for you. But for me it has been different. Boys wrestle and throw balls and creek and do lots of thing the majority of girls don't like. I know 2 girls that like it, one probably just tolerates it.

As our friends group evolves, the girls gravitated towards other activities... and eventually all was left was moms with just boys.

Boys wrestle and throw balls and creek and do lots of thing the majority of girls aren’t encouraged or allowed to do.

FIFY

My DD wrestles, jumps, throws aballs in the creek, collects newts, and the like. So do her friends.

You know why girls don’t usually do these things? Because their mothers are putting them in Hanna Anderson matchy outfits, and running around them, fretting that they will become dirty or messy, or whatever. Because they have their own idea of what a girl mom is.

It’s so strange to me, all the talk about equality, when we start to separate what boys and girls should be st the age of birth.,

My friends and your DD were just like me and my friends. Many of the girls went into STEM fields or art. We had Barbie dolls and sunshine family dolls, played with and without the boys, camped out in the backyards (backing to the local park!!!), etc. Of course, we also grew up with the Enjoli (sp?) commercials reminding us we could do it all. (I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never, never forget you're a man, because I'm a woman ...). A bit out-moded now, but it was almost a feminist rally cry.

There's a difference between a mom who has two boys and a #BOYMOM.

"He's ALL BOY, ZOMG he just LOVES MUD AND GUNS! He just hit your kid, unprovoked, but whatareyagonnado?" -#BOYMOM

"He's ALL BOY, he can't be expected to say 'please' or 'thank you,' Grandma! Whatareyagonnado?" -#BOYMOM

Forgot to add that we aspired to be more Laura Ingals than Nellie Olsen (set aside the fact that Laura Ingalls Wilder is shunned in some circles today).

Look people-don’t be stupid. #boymom is used to keep our sanity in a world where moms of boys deal with constant pressure to make their boys “behave”, “reign it in”, or whatever. Things like personal hygiene, table manners, indoor voices, are just not as easy to teach to boys as it is to the *majority* of little girls, of course there are exceptions. But you just don’t need to exercise little girls like you need little boys.

I have mom friends with just boys and we literally text each other things like, “hey-I’m heading to the park to run the boys, want to join?”

“RUN the boys”

I’d respond, but I think I sprained my orbital muscles ands I really need them for the entire rest of the day I only have to stare lovingly at my quiet content caught, sipping tea on the ottoman and twirling her hair.

I’m from Indiana. My cousins and I frequently use this farm/hunting/outdoorsy term about our girls.

Boymom, you sound really, really stupid. I think you might have already lost your sanity. Maybe treat your child as a human and not a wildebeest?

This mom of one girl and two boys and athlete of nearly 30 years begs to differ. Girls need exercise just as much as boys do, and in many ways can stand to gain even more from sports so as to combat the constant messaging that their bodies are merely ornamental.

Moreover, stop using your sons' sex an excuse not to parent them properly. Because your whiny BS about how hard it is to make little boys behave is the foundation for letting them get away with far worse when they get older.
