No one hates boys.

Moms of boys = great parents, nice people, on top of things, parent their kids. Teach their sons about consent, being a good friend and family member, respecting themselves and women, taking care of themselves and their partners/friends/family.

#BoyMoms = make excuses for bad behavior, “he’s just being a boy,” no discipline, no parenting, go on and on about they have to protect their sons from predatory girls like, LOL. Expect their sons’ partners or wives to do and be everything, like buy presents holidays, send flowers for Mother’s Day, call to check in, etc.

No.

The need for people to not understand that you don't need to discipline or manage every single movement of a child love to say #boymoms - #badmoms

We’ll go slower. Moms of Boys = great parents who know when to step in, know what behavior is acceptable, know when to let it go and let kids figure things out themselves and let kids explore. What you are describing is a Mom of Boys.

#BoyMoms = see above. I said what I said.

Moms of Boys, we see you and appreciate you and support you!

Except everybody's definition of "when to step in" is different and so it's base on bias whether you put somebody in the #boymom box or the moms of boys box.

Most mom's of girls don't understand "when to step in" is appropriate and all helicopter parents have no idea.

Why not just say Mom?

Same reason you would say I'm in IT Sales vs IT Engineering.

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

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

"Boy mom" is a phrase for "I'm raising the next generation of misogynists". It means you accept worse behavior from them because they have a penis. "Mom of boys" does not carry the same meaning.

Exactly this.

And most of these awful moms live in the suburbs. Horrible people!

Your bias is showing.

I don’t have social media, so this is in talking with my friends.

+1 PP this is how I use it too. And as another PP said, dealing with all the potty humor etc at home (ES boys).

I don't have a problem with "boy mom" at all. I have two girls and my life and the way I parent must be so different than someone with only boys. My life is all Elsa, tutus, dance parties, Taylor Swift, and alllll the emotions.

I love having two girls and it is definitely part of my identity. I don't go around calling myself a "girl mom" because that's just not how I talk. But I don't care if other people use those terms -- I totally get what they mean when they do.

As Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart said in 1964 about the definition of pornography, “You know it when you see it.”

You know a Mom of Boys when you talk to one, and you know a #BoyMom when you talk to one.

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.

I am a mom of two boys and this vibe (boy version) is exactly what I tried to capture above. Yes gender is a real thing and a big component of personality for a lot of kids.

It’s not enough to be a mom and to say “I have two boys.” Everything had to be a hashtagable phrase that can be printed on moms beach trucker hat or her wine-o-clock glasses.

I guess I don’t understand how being a boy mom is different from being a mom????

This. When I hear “boy mom” I think of a suburban mom wearing a Love Pink workout suit driving a massive Chevy Tahoe and referring to her nightly glass of wine as “mom juice”. I’m sorry but the term just seems trashy to me.

Have two boys, two girls, it is really not that big a deal. If I have another kid, I don't care which it is. People overthink this stuff.
