[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I truly believe that #boymom is a defense mechanism propagated by mothers of only boys who deep in their heart of hearts wish (or wished) they had a girl.  #oneofeachmom[/quote]

I think moms of just boys sense this condescending pity coming from other moms of both or just girls and wear the moniker with pride to try to fight back.

Wow, looking for any reason to hate your SIL. #womensuck[/quote]

Well just in case you genuinely misunderstood me and aren't trying to bait me I was actually sticking up for her.

She loves her boys and doesn't feel like her life is lacking at all but posters like pp insist on tis weird narrative that she is one of those poor women that didn't have a daughter. She regularly gets asked about having another baby not because they are wondering about whether their family feels complete but because people can't fathom that a lack of a girl doesn't mean a hole in her heart. It's disrespectful and stupid and so she occasionally makes jokes about being a #boymom. Not because she is pining for a girl but because everyone thinks she is!

I only pointed out the contrast because I wanted to show that there are people who experience both and can comprehend that other people are just happy with the kids they have and to show I'm not a mom of just boys since all of them are being labeled defensive [/quote]
