I know have a stepson and an adopted son. Both are a reasonable volume because they understand how rude it is to others.

That’s called good parenting. Thank you!

if you are raising a cockhold.

It’s also obvious how some people on here are self projecting their own experiences who have “that child” and overreacting and telling OP to do crazy things....

Yes, lots of snowflake moms who relate to OP. Parents who don't take responsibility for their children's behavior are the worst. They'll need to stock up on participation trophies.

NP. I disagree. I have teenagers now and have been able to see the otherside of these "loud and wild boys". The loudest and most energetic boy was the star athlete at our high school. He received a huge athletic scholarship and is doing well in his first year of college. Still there were a few moms who would talk crap about him at every football game, wrestling tournament, and lacrosse game. Yes he was loud and energetic, but his parents helped him focus that into healthy outlets. Their annoyance quickly turned to jealousy. The only ones who didn't grow up were the moms.

I'm the mom of teens who posted earlier and I have seen this too. That kid I talked about who was objectively difficult, not just loud, but jumping on the furniture, drawing on walls, literally bouncing off walls etc.? That kid is going to be a successful entrepreneur. He is already founding companies and he's just a teenager. He's starting to soar, and I am so glad that we were kind to him rather than being nasty gossips. I would rather contribute to making the world better than tearing down children, personally.

Ditto.

By 4th grade I was only hanging out with mom's who had boys and girls who were similar.

All the girls that were their friends... all 4 are at top universities/D1 athletes... the boys are also athletes ... 2 D1, 1 D3 NASCAC, one is in LA acting, 2 in honor's colleges.

One boy had a serious illness in HS and the boys would help him with his homework (he missed about 6 months of school), made him come out of the house (suffering from depression).

We had to dump all the bitchy wino moms (not that we don't drink wine).

That’s what being well socialized aka having regard for others and a reasonable degree of self control means to you? You need help.

I do wonder if the poster that keeps mocking #boymom actually has boys.

I’ve only referenced #boymom in one post, but yes, I have a 9 year old boy.

still laughing over here at "cockhold" is that the technical term for when you make a fist with a hole in the middle?

Even then, I would never in 100 million years say anything negative about him to any of the other moms in our social circle. In fact even though he’s a little bit too much personality for me, I recognize the fact that his creativity and fearlessness around people will do him well later in life and he will probably do well in college and have a great career. His mother is lovely and frankly there’s no parenting this big personality out of the kid. It’s just who he is.

I guess my larger point is just because a child gets on your nerves doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with them. It’s a clash of personalities. And you should never be gossiping about children with other parents. It’s mean girls all grown up. How is this so hard for others in this thread to understand?

Or he will continue to be obnoxious and off-putting to people and be perfectly average.

Look, the mom was rude. I'd say something to her. I'd also take it as maybe a pause moment to evaluate if maybe I need to reign my kid in a bit more.

And while loud chatty kids aren't bad lets not be silly and start the narrative that they're all destined to be super stars.

I think children should be given some leeway while having fun but still need to be respectful and kind to others/things.
There is fun play without being destructive or obnoxious. Sometimes there is a fine line but that is why parenting is important. To show them how to have fun and where to draw the line. Everyone has different 'lines' and it sounds like the ladies OP hangs out with have a different line than OP. Her son is crossing that with them and they may not be a good friendship fit.

This thread is an anthropological marvel. I'm the OP. I'm not sure what has been more eye-opening -- the offensive text or this 500-plus-post thread.
