[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fortunate girl AND boy mom here. Birth order is DD, DS20, DD. I’m allowed to say this; I love boys! They are intensely more physically and emotionally more active toddler through adolescence, but the payoff is mutual low key, drama-free love and devotion.

My tight group of Mom Friends is compromised of moms of DS’ friends from ES.

I’ve never gotten along with (All) Girl Moms in this way - these Moms seem to want to re-live their youth in a catty, competitive and mean-spirited through their daughters. No thank you-I’m done with sorority life!

Boy Moms are just more relaxed, likely because they are not subject to constant emotional high and lows and chatter and analysis of every nuance and situation. [/quote]

Huh. Lotta drama and judgment in your post there, for someone who is allegedly so great lol.  [/quote]

Just speaking from experience. I’ll also add that I work with students of all ages and boys are easier in this role.

Boy moms are indeed more relaxed and not hyper competitive. Of course exceptions but I experienced more outright criticism and judgement from all-girl moms about my DS than I ever did with my DDs. Moms who would watch him play and cringe and exclaim they could never have a boy because “so wild” or “so active.” Total prisspots. [/quote]

But are you considering people like yourself who have both “boy moms”? Because I think most people associate “boy mom” with people who have ONLY boys…

(I also have both and am feeling bad for your daughters, this isn’t my experience at all!) [/quote]
