“BOY MOM,” you are annoying and think your son does literally no wrong.

“He’s all boy,” I will punch you in the tit.

I never thought boy mom meant this. I live with two boys and a husband. I thought boy mom meant getting used to gross toilets, hands down pants, etc. Now that my older kid is well into puberty I'm really feeling the gender differences.

DP. Those are bad behaviors that mothers excuse too. I have two boys and a girl, and they’re equally clean(or else).

I also have two boys and a girl, and my girl is the most resistant to bathing. But my boys love to fart loudly as they leave a room. And pee splash around the toilet with boys (especially young boys) just comes with the territory; it’s not “bad behavior” you loon.

It is bad behavior. Boys should be taught from the earliest age it’s unacceptable to leave pee on/around the toilet; they need to clean it up themselves, immediately. Accepting it and forcing other family members to accept it as normal is “boymom” behavior.

Your misogyny is showing. If you truly believe this then it’s actually “boydad” behavior. I don’t teach my sons how to pee standing up. Just like my husband is not the one to teach our daughter how to properly dispose of menstrual products.

But if my elementary school son splatters a bit when he gets up to pee in the middle of the night, I just deal with it when I see it (you know, like a big girl!) rather than accusing him of toxic masculinity or entitled behavior or whatever nonsense you can come up with.

You, not your husband, is on the internet defending this gross behavior. And when you are called on it, you cry misogyny? Let’s just say I am not surprised you are raising your boys not take responsibility- you are apparently modeling it for them.

You’re right. 5-year-old pee splatter equals future rapist. And the world is pro-men and boys, because we allow it.

Ah, you cannot acknowledge your poor logical leaps so you make another gigantic one. Sad.

I hope one day you only have grandsons and have to teach them not to pee splatter. Just stand next to them while they go pee and tell them how to end so that nothing splatters.

How strange that again you are doubling down on not teaching your sons to clean up after themselves. Some of you are so strange.

and it's odd you did not comment when asked if you teach your daughters to clean up all their hair that is everywhere in the bathroom and to ensure their hair is not clogging the drain... do you , teach them to fetch their hair after each shower? and to clean the sink area with all that hair?

I joined the conversation later and didn’t see that. Yes, we all have long thick hair and absolutely we must clean the drains and sinks. I’ll raise you and say it means that the floors need to be swept more too. Why on earth would you think I (or anyone) would disagree with that?

Because no girls do this, they don't wipe the sink every time they brush their hair, they don't take hair from the drain after every shower.

They just don't.

+1

Grown women don’t even do this. Just ask your husbands what they find when they clear the clogged sink or shower drains.

Seriously, don't rent to girls unless you want a plumber in the rental every month.

Don't get me started about lipstick on glasses... teach your "nasty" girls better!

Unplug those irons and put away your brushes and hair dryer and makeup and why are their hairbands everywhere... what are you animals... clean up after yourself.

Yes hairbands is just like pee. You sound like woman-hating loon.

Maybe you should teach kids to do that? Also there are better drain covers that you could look into if you are not willing to do that.

But the fact is women don't teach their daughters to do it otherwise college rentals wouldn't always have clogged drains.

You are joking, but I am serious, and that is the problem. You do not see a real and serious link between the insidious sexism of allowing boys to not clean up their pee and later behavior like sexual assault. I do.

When her adult grandsons don’t visit her when she’s eventually all alone someday, she’ll undoubtedly count their lack of concern for her as further evidence of how awful boys and men are. She’ll never consider that they don’t visit her because she’s a horrible person who made her disdain for them obvious throughout their lives, just because they’re not girls.

I’m hoping my daughters teach their sons to clean up their pee. Do you think grandmas are supposed to clean it up? Sounds like you do.

Why are you teaching your daughters that it’s their job to teach their sons basic boy-hygiene? (As opposed to her husband?) You sound sexist.

You think mother in laws should tell their child-in-law what to do? Well that's sure a switch from most of the threads around here.

Agreed. I find it ironic that all these new hashtag catchphrases like girl boss and boy mom which theoretically are meant to empower women, do the opposite. Boss and mom sound much more authoritative.

[Anonymous]

So "boy mom" is to me the same as "girl power". It's fine either way.

I have boys. I am the only female in our household now. Grew up with 4 girls in the family. I would say boys are very different, so I don't care if someone uses "boy mom" eventhough I would never think to use it. I find it on the same level of annoyance as "girl power"

I’m similar. I have 2 boys who are stereotypically into very boyish things (don’t come for me! I know girls can be into those things too). I don’t use the phrase boy mom because it’s not how I talk, but when I see someone saying/writing about some boy mom experience they have and then labeling it as such with the term “boy mom”, I’m not annoyed at all — I do think it’s a little cringe (like mommy juice) but I honestly do also identify with it.

And for me, it’s partially because these strong gender associations still remain a little surprising to me, even after many years of raising boys. I was a certain type of girl-stereotype growing up (quiet, lots of playing with dolls and house and tea parties, singing and dancing around, reading the typical girl books), and I’ll admit a little bit of me is wistful that I won’t share those experiences with my boys.

But I love them from the bottom of my heart, so instead I lean into our ninja play, ninjago mechs, and dog man books, and I even find myself sometimes going #boymom in my head when I observe how I’m so immersed in these stereotypically boy activities which I wouldn’t have chosen on my own AND enjoying it because I’m with my kids and experiencing their joy.

So there! Reclaiming boymom for myself!!!
