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

It's like missing a bullet.

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.

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.

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.

I'm PP and in my friend group, the difference in how moms of all girls are treated with respect to having a boy is different enough from what happens to the all boy moms that we've talked about it. All (and I mean every single boy mom) has has multiple encounters like I have, the syrupy-sweet fake pity for not having girls from girl moms. It happens the other way, but rarely.

This is born out in surveys, by the way. Americans prefer baby girls in general. Sex selection is done more often for girls. It is a thing, and you pretending it doesn't happen is obnoxious.

I will also say that I had never thought much about BOYMOM before this thread but the reaction of you and other posters like you makes me want to cheer them on.

Can you cite that source? I've never heard that before.

DP. I heard that in a sociology class.

So, no actually facts to back this random statement, just "you heard it" somewhere. Um, ok.

You don't have any non-white friends, I see

I have 6. But seriously, does this span all races pretty equally? We're a military family, so you can imagine we are part of a very diverse group and the only ones I see in #boymom gear are white women.

Six? That's all? Okay, by all means keep talking as if you know what all races in the US do based on your six non-white friends. Do you even hear yourself?

You know what? Who the effing eff cares? The bigger question should be why we women have to CONSTANTLY get so effing worked up about everything other women do. We’re our own worst enemy. The first PP is upset because of women with fake boobs acting superior. So what? Go out somewhere with your kids and enjoy them while you can. None of this other shit will matter in a few years. Will you really be lying on your death bed worrying about momboys?

Eff it. I meant boymoms

Things like personal hygiene, table manners, indoor voices, are just not as easy to teach to boys as it is to the *majority* of little girls, of course there are exceptions. But you just don’t need to exercise little girls like you need little boys.

I have mom friends with just boys and we literally text each other things like, “hey-I’m heading to the park to run the boys, want to join?”

“RUN the boys”

#boymom

Boymom, you sound really, really stupid. I think you might have already lost your sanity. Maybe treat your child as a human and not a wildebeest?

This is why "boy moms" no longer hang out with girl moms... our kids are just acting normal and we are called bad moms and our kids are characterized as wildebeasts.

It's no different than girls wearing 1 inch shorts and people say "who is the parent" like seeing a girls leg is some horror.

Boys moms are not raising rapist they just don't give a crap if the boys want to wrestle, burp and make fart jokes. I don't give a sh*t.

No, you're treating your own kids like wildebeests, not anyone else. The more you say they can't learn basic manners, the more you're underestimating their own capacity.

Your false equivalencies are also stupid. I don't care what your children wear or if they play wrestle with each other, as long as they are trying to be considerate of other people.

I have a boy, so please stop thinking that people who disagree with you are "girl moms."

It's true mom's of non-traditional boys have the biggest chip on their shoulder.

You tell yourself "I'm a better mom" to hide behind the fact their H's wish your boys was "more sporty".

Our boys are not your problem, your inability to accept your boys is the problem.

I'm the OP and I think this is the first post to which I've replied since page 1. You are EXACTLY the TWAT #boymom that this post was directed towards. You think because my son doesn't act like a little a-hole, that he's not or traditional or normal or good enough. YOU make other moms feel like they've failed, or their son is a failure. So, you are the catalyst for this entire rant. Thank you for hurting little boys. Thank you for causing discontentment between husbands and wives. Thank you for making moms feel less than. I'm giving you a lot of credit, but I'm guessing it's probably the only credit you receive.

I haven't read further replies, and I really hope someone more intelligent and less emotional than me responds to really make you understand what a disservice you're doing to the world.

Mostly this thread has convinced me that people who care this deeply about the use of #boymom are unstable misandrists who should be avoided.

Signed,

Never used #boymom in my life

since you've never used it, you're not a #boymom - do you not understand that?
