I think it’s the equivalent of putting enormous bows on girls with tags like #mylittlelady

And only insecure moms would worry about it.

It’s very fascinating to me! Do moms of multiple boys feel that it is a unique experience?

I’m a mom of all boys. No, I don’t use #boymom. But I do feel like having all boys is a unique experience. You might understand better when your kid(s) are older.

Girls are not born mean girls or drama queens, it is learned.

It is learned by women on this thread.

It is unique when you only have boys because you never have to be forced to deal with the mom's of girls at your school and it is glorious.

Good because your drama is exhausting. Stay away from us mom's of boys.

The woman on this thread who keep misusing the possessive in "mom's of boys" is an example of the worst kind of #boymom, but sometimes I think it's as simple as a woman who was never into sports/camping/bugs/dinosaurs/trucks/whatever her kid can't get enough of, just giving in and going along with it and finding herself having fun. So she wouldn't have gone on a 2 day fishing trip if it wasn't for her Larlo, but she did it and it was great and she's kind of self-deprecatingly pointing out that this is something that only came about because she has sons.

But maybe that's too much benefit of the doubt for DCUM?

Oh please #boymom, come spend a day with my DD.

At 20mo, she jumped off the third step, off the couch, and did a whole bunch of other acrobatic feats before 8am. I don’t stop her unless I know it’s unsafe or she can’t do it. All activities were with me two steps behind because I know she’s “busy”.

She then went and killed her “gymnastics” class, including jumping off a r gulag height beam.

I guess she didn’t play with a penis she doesn’t have, so there’s that.

Uh, well sure. But so is having all girls, or having an only child, or having twins, or having biracial kids with a big age gap...etcetcetc. You don't see anyone else trying to forge a public "identity" based on it. #boymom is an insecurity thing.

My best friend only has boys, and we of course jokecomplain to each other about the challenges of raising boys (I have 2), but she would never use "#boymom". And unlike weirdo PP upthread, she obviously is not only interested in being friends with other parents who have only boys - THAT is definitely not normal.

Since you did it twice: there's no apostrophe necessary there. And I have a son, as do many of my friends. But I'll certainly be staying away from you!

In all seriousness, I think you may have a particularly difficult time as your sons grow up - good luck with that.

Huh. How very odd.

+1 that's not normal. You should be concerned if that's the case
