Hilarious Quotes that Perfectly Describe the Art of Raising Boys

October 12, 2021 Mallory Richardson

My husband and I have two boys. When people ask when we are going to try for a girl, our answer is pretty simple. “We aren’t. It would be another boy!” Whether you have one boy or many, you know the comical struggles of raising boys.

I used to believe I wanted at least one boy and one girl. The best of both worlds, ya know? After raising boys for 8 years, I’ve come to firmly believe that I am a boy mom through and through.

I wouldn’t know what to do with a girl. “What is this strange creature??”

Although raising boys and girls may be completely different, from my experience, there are a few misconceptions about raising boys

Misconceptions About Raising Boys

Boys aren’t as emotional. FALSE!
Little boys are filled with emotion, especially as they are learning to sort through how they are feeling in certain situations. Sometimes it comes out as tears, anger, frustration, or just confusion.
It may translate differently than it would for a little girl, but the emotion is definitely there.
Boys are less drama. FALSE!
Drama for little boys may include tattling, bragging, egging someone on, a meltdown or emotional crisis, or egging someone on. Either way, raising little boys is filled with drama!
Boys don’t care about the way they look. FALSE!
It doesn’t take long for little boys to learn the “coolest” brands and care about what they wear. They may not have much of a fashion sense, but they do care about what they look like, and they do have their own style!

I would love for you to stick around and join my new mom group on Facebook.
