[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend has four boys and she’ll #boymom on occasion. It’s meant to be lighthearted, and those boys have excellent manners. 
She is absolutely desperate for a girl. They are considering IVF for gender selection. I suspect most of the #boymoms are deeply longing for girls, so we should be kind.[/quote]

I don't know one #boymom that wished for a girl.. especially once middle school hits.

It's like missing a bullet. [/quote]

Yep. They are all a little sad about not getting a girl. It’s not a mystery. Also, I’m not sure what world you guys a living in where middle school boys are a breeze. Silly stuff.[/quote]

I have all boys and have never used the phrase BOYMOM in my life prior to this post, but the fact that you and other posters have apparently decided that moms of boys must be sad about not having girls makes me want to cheer on the people who use it. Honestly the only time I ever think about having all boys is when some all girl mom asks me in a fake tone of sympathy whether I am going "try for a girl." It's so obnoxious.[/quote]

DP, but if you don't self-identify as a #boymom, then this thread isn't directed at you, whether you have all boys or not.  Plenty of moms of only boys love having boys, don't call themselves boymoms, and are reasonable.  But seriously, have you not heard of people asking moms of all girls whether they're going to "try for a boy?"  It goes both ways.

Why women who don't have daughters think they're qualified to opine on how different it is than raising sons is beyond me.  But I'm sick of the laziness at best and misogyny at worst that #boymom represents.[/quote]
