[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I HATE "boy mom" v. "girl mom" as identities.  The real differences are:
(1) cleaning up pee
[b](2) doing hair[/b]
(3) teaching about menstruation (which is only a moderate difference, because all kids should learn about how babies are made, including the basics of the reproductive systems of both sexes, and everyone needs to know about consent and respect for partners and themselves)
That's it.  Maybe boys are noisier on average, or have less "dramatic" friendships on average, but there is as much variation within the sexes as between them, and what's true on average can easily be untrue for a specific boy or girl.  Boys can be just as sensitive, girls can be just as physical.  Boys can have frenemies and be catty, girls can be messy and smelly and not care about how they look.  Puberty makes them all a mess.  [/quote]  Boy mom here and I do a  lot of hair.  Up until about 8  years old my kid had braids; I washed and braided his hair every two weeks.  He's older now and has gone back to wearing braids so I"m back to braiding it every two weeks for him (he washes it himself now). [/quote]
