You Know You’re a Mom of Boys When…

by Jess Weaver

Moms of boys are a special breed…aren’t we? Sometimes it’s nice to have a reminder of WHY you’re a mom of boys. I can say that my main goal is to raise boys who are happy, healthy, and determined. I’m raising three boys (alongside my husband) and we have some great stories to tell. This brings me to my main point—“you know you’re a mom of boys when.”

Farts are Funny

For some reason gas is just hilarious whenever you have boys. I haven’t quite figured out why.

Dirt Doesn’t Come Clean

My sons have the power to get dirt on anything and everything. The sad thing is that the dirt doesn’t come out of all of their clothing, but as long as they have fun, that’s all that matters.

You Get Random Comments

I get the weirdest comments from strangers, like… “Are you trying for girl?” or “All boys? You poor thing!” I’m not sure why people have to interject their opinion into my house full of boys, but they aren’t going to steal my joy.

You Hear “I’m hungry” at least 20 Times a Day

I feed my boys often and only a few minutes after they are done eating, I hear “I’m hungry.” I never knew little men could pack so much food in those tiny bodies.

You Sweep 50 Times a Day

We have the rule of no eating anywhere but the table. However, crumbs and other food items seem to find their way around the house. What can I say? I love sweeping 50 times a day!

The Toilet Seat is Always Up

There’s hardly a day that goes by when I don’t have to put down the toilet seat. There’s nothing worse than sitting on the cold, hard, and very wet part of the toilet.

You Take a Shower With Batman

Just this morning I looked down at my feet and batman was in there. I thought to myself, you know you’re a mom of boys when batman is in the shower with you (the toy version of course).

Raising a household full of boys is fun, but I’m often reminded of how unique this journey really is. If you’ve sat on a cold wet toilet seat or have taken a shower with a toy batman, then here’s to us. Moms of boys have it rough, but we also have it pretty darn good!
