The Realities of Being A Boy Mom

The Realities Of Being A Boy MomThere's something special about being a mom to little boys. You're not just their parent, you're everything to them. They look to you for it all and you know just how much they need you. While some people may think they're rough and tumble, you know just how sensitive they are.

10 Things Boy Moms Understand

1. You Get Used To The Boy Smell. There is a distinct smell that follows your boys everywhere they go. It starts much sooner than you thought possible, but it's there. Boys are just stinky and it only gets worse. This is why daily baths are a must. 2. You're The Most Important Person In Their Life. There is a special love between a little boy and their momma. It's something that would take the jaws of life to get in-between. You're the first woman they've ever loved and they look to you for everything.3. You're Constantly Flushing Toilets. Little boys are notorious for forgetting to flush the toilet. You even find yourself apologizing for what guests could find in the bathroom just in case...4. Early Park Days Are Necessary. Boys are non-stop energy. The only way to get them to stop jumping off of the furniture is to let them jump and climb their little hearts out. This is why parks were invented.5. You Find Yourself Saying Things You Never Imagined. You'll surprise yourself daily on the things you end up saying to your little boys. Don't pee on your brother. Don't lick the garbage!6. We're Used To Things Being Broken. The days of owning nice, pretty things are long gone. Now is the time of broken lamps, cracked tv's (after playing fetch with the dog), and stained clothes. Boys like to play.7. Bodily Functions Are Hilarious. It doesn't matter how many times you tell your boys not to, they're going to talk about poop, farts, and butts all the time. The funny part is you'll end up laughing too. How can you not when you see your kids rolling on the floor, laughing!?8. Everything Turns Into A Wrestling Match. It doesn't matter how it starts, it's always going to end in wrestling. Your kids will spend most of their days wrestling on the furniture, trampoline, and ground. The only thing to figure out is whether they're laughing or mad.9. Your Grocery Bill Is Insane. Boys can eat. Add a few of them together and your grocery bill is going to get crazy. Just imagine how it's going to be when they get into high school!10. You Befriend Other Boy Moms. You'll find yourself drifting to other boy moms because they understand exactly what your day looks like.
