[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have many friends with all boys- and they all seem to have this solidarity with one another. They post pictures with #boymom and are always joking with each other as if they are part of a secret club. I just have one girl but don’t feel any kind of solidarity with other parents of girls. It’s very fascinating to me! Do moms of multiple boys feel that it is a unique experience? [/quote]

I’m a mom of all boys. No, I don’t use #boymom. But I do feel like having all boys is a unique experience. You might understand better when your kid(s) are older. [/quote]

Uh, well sure. But so is having all girls, or having an only child, or having twins, or having biracial kids with a big age gap...etcetcetc. You don't see anyone else trying to forge a public "identity" based on it. #boymom is an insecurity thing.

My best friend only has boys, and we of course jokecomplain to each other about the challenges of raising boys (I have 2), but she would never use "#boymom". And unlike weirdo PP upthread, she obviously is not only interested in being friends with other parents who have only boys - THAT is definitely not normal. [/quote]
