Dear Friends, Family, Random Grocery Store Workers, and Everyone in Between,
If you’ve noticed a lot of ruckus lately, it’s probably because I’m the proud mom of two lively boys. Yep, all boys! Besides me and our spirited little pup, our household is an all-male zone. I’ll admit, I once envisioned a family filled with frilly dresses and hair bows, but here we are, and honestly, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I absolutely LOVE my boys!
However, I must admit that some things people say about my boys can be a bit irksome. Take, for instance, when you ask if we’re trying for a girl. (Nope, we’re thrilled with our little crew!) Or when you assume that having boys means we dodge all the drama. Trust me, there’s no shortage of eye rolling, door slamming, and dramatic meltdowns around here!
I know many comments come from a good place, like when you ask my son about his sports interests. And yes, I appreciate the sentiment behind “Wow, you’ve got your hands full!” (Which, by the way, I do— and I wouldn’t have it any other way.)
Instead of listing out what not to say—because let’s be real, we’ve all heard those before—let’s flip the script. What’s the one thing that moms of boys truly crave to hear?
Drumroll, please! It’s quite simple: Smile, check in on how she’s doing, and no matter her response, say with confidence: “You’re doing a fantastic job. Those boys are so lucky to have you.”
I promise you, we’ll probably beam back at you and say a heartfelt “thank you.” We might even blush a little or wave it off casually. But deep down, you’ve made our day.
So, the next time you encounter a mom of boys, remember this golden nugget. It’s the little things that matter!
Warmly,
A Proud Boy Mom
