    Things Only Boy Moms Get to Deal With

    April 19, 2024 - By 

    I often tell people I started this blog to complain about things and get stuff off my chest rather than let it stew inside my head and boy does this Boy Mom have something stewing today. It has to do with little boys doing little boy things, and a friend who shall not be named, and her son. And mainly, penises. So, if you are easily offended by a discussion involving private parts, turn away now. Boys Will Be Boys I’ve heard that expression about “boys will be boys” all my life but never really understood the truth of it…

    Boy Mom Lessons in Being Less Judgmental

    March 12, 2024 - By 

    Becoming a mom has taught me many things, and one lesson that comes up again and again is to not be judgmental of things I know nothing about.

So he surprised me the other day while I was washing his hair in the bath, and he asked, “Mommy, why do I have girl hair?” So I told him, “You don’t have girl hair. You don’t have boy hair. You just have hair. Girls can have short hair, boys can have long hair. It’s all just…

    Boys Can Wear Pink Too

    November 14, 2018 - By 

    My son loves PAW Patrol, and his favorite pup is Skye. Skye just happens to be a girl and he thinks she’s very pretty and flies a cool helicopter. So, when it comes to choosing a PAW Patrol shirt, of course he goes right for the ones with Skye on them. The only problem? Every shirt with Skye is bright pink and covered with hearts and flowers and some kind of “girl power” message, as if they need to make the shirts as girlie as possible. Except here’s the thing – it’s not really a problem. My son doesn’t care.…
