| I hate that term, too. It often means they have a Neanderthal for a husband - grilling, gaming, and not much else- and then they have a boy and just lean waaaayyy into it all. |

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. |

And girls should clean up their long strands of hair that are all over the bathroom and clogging the showers |

Agreed, they’re in an environment where they’ve accepted crass behavior as the norm, and it usually starts from the top down. I’ve heard a few women proudly exclaim that they’re “boy moms” seemingly not realizing that 50% of all mothers are moms to boys, but don’t need to draw attention to it by referring to themselves by a stupid nickname. |

“Boys will be boys.” 
Your sons are gross. |

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. |

They’re super gross. That’s my point. They’re just normal boys, dingus. |

Like PP my girl is also resistant to bathing compared to my 2 boys. She will often just splash water on her hair to make it look wet without shampooing it. She's much grosser than the boys. I'll take a little pee splash in a bathroom over her cluttered room, gross bathroom with hair, skin care, brushes, combs, hair accessories, drawers and cabinets wide open, clothes everywhere, just a total pack rat. The boys rooms are super clean in comparison. No hoarding tendencies. |

YOUR bratty boys are gross, sweetie. |

I think after reading this thread that “boymom” is really code for “I’m a mom who doesn’t hate my own sons”. Some of these people sound so uptight I genuinely feel sorry for their kids, the boys and the girls. |

+1 My boys are old enough that the boys have gotten easy. They’re responsible, independent, take care of their work, get great grades. When they socialize it’s mostly playing sports. They’re big on teamwork and letting things go. The girls have gotten mean. The things they do and say on social media are rotten. In person it’s probably bad too, but on phones, it can be screenshotted and sent around. Now it’s the girl moms looking for empathy and understanding. It’s hormones, bad influences, peer pressure. I’d rather be empathetic than not, but it’s hard to forget the contempt of a few years ago. |

| This is why I thought my kids doing all boys school. There’s so many females that just don’t get boys. |

Girls are hard. The social drama is off the charts and it starts so young. My daughter has been dealing with drama since 1st grade. Still waiting on boy drama. |
