[quote=Anonymous]Hmm...I'm a boy mom against my will. With a handful of boys and no girls, it's just a fact that I am a boy mom.

I never really thought of it as a bad thing. To me, it means my house is loud and sports are a really big deal. It means I'll never buy dresses for my kids, go to a kid's ballet event, or see Taylor Swift in concert. I don't miss those things.

I don't have any insight on girl drama or social media drama. But I have any kind of high-end sports gear you could ever imagine in my garage...and strewn all over the foyer and living room.

It doesn't mean I think boys are better. Or worse.

It just means that a large part of my parental identity is derived from the reality that my boys are boys...coupled with a sense of urgency to raise fine young men who will hopefully remain close to their parents and brothers for the rest of our lives.

Anyway, if people want to throw rocks at boy moms, I guess that's their business. I couldn't care less what random people think about me. [/quote]
