Ironically, I think a lot of these personality types emerge specifically because people are aware that being a middle-aged white woman is considered fundamentally annoying, and so figure they'll become "wine mom" or "cross fit obsessive" or "lady who travels" and go hard on it to avoid getting lumped in with all the other middle aged white women. If there was less stigma associated with just being a white lady in your 40s, I think you'd see fewer people looking for an identity in the same way that teenagers do, grasping for a "thing."


I agree with this.

Yes! My friend has a sibling like this. She visits often so I’ve hung out multiple times. I was impressed by the no TV thing until years later I found out she had a DvD player and then later multiple streaming services (literally like 5-6 of them)! But, yet I must have heard 30+times over the years from her that she had no TV. I realize now why my friend was silent when this came up.

I'd pay to see you go to Boston and say this out loud in an Irish bar. Then I'd drive you to the North End myself to see what you have to say about Italians.

I've only ever met so called Irish people who did this. I remember a friend's mom had "Live well, laugh often, love much: a Irish blessing" as a MURAL in her living room in the late 90s before that was even a thing. Laughable

Parents where the kids sport dominates their entire family’s lives, and it’s all they talk about and can relate to. Very one-dimensional .


+1. I’ve actually lost friends to the sports culture. They are completely obsessed; it’s the only thing they care about (sometimes even over school!) and their kids are not collegiate level athletes. Then their kids go to college, that culture/social group dissolves, and they want to be BFFs with their pre-sports friends again. No thanks, the rest of us moved on. I completely respect this meant a lot to you, but you cannot expect your other friends to sit on the sidelines for 4-6 years.

As a mom who has 3 boys, no girls I so wish this would die.


You are a mom of boys, not a #boymom. We know the difference!

I hate the "boy mom" or "girl dad" thing. Way to perpetuate sexism. I would love and raise to the best of my ability whatever gener God gave me. I very much love my 2 children.


I am a mom of boys, not a #boymom, but I find it odd when people act like there are no differences on average. I work with mainly girls, and parent boys. The stereotypes exist for a reason. I love all their different personalities, one isn’t better than the other.


I don’t think anyone believes there are no differences. #boymom isn’t about ignoring differences, it’s about ignoring or excusing bad behavior based on gender. “Boys will be boys,” wink wink.
