10 Truths Moms Of Boys Know Too Well…
When I married my husband, I thought I found the love of my life. We’d been together for so long and marriage was the natural next step in our epic love story. Right away, though, we knew we wanted to start a family. Between us, we had too much love not to spread it around, so when I found out I was pregnant with my first son, we couldn’t have been happier. Looking into my little boys’ eyes for the first time ever, I realized I only thought my husband was the love of my life. Sure, sure, different kind of love, but that little boy had me at Hello. Then when my second son was born, it was like our little family was truly complete. Now that they’re a little older, I’m finding that loving little boys is amazing but also…weird. Boys are weird. And I truly couldn’t be happier. Here are 10 Truths Moms Of Boys Know Too Well…because though they’ll always be the loves of my life, they are also crazy little bundles of energy who do truly disgusting things that only they find hilarious.
10 Truths Moms Of Boys Know Too Well…
1. Everything smells like pee. I don’t know if they mark their territory or if it’s because the aim is SO bad, but everything in the house smells like pee.
2. Stepping on LEGO’s is a fact of life. No matter how much I clean, those things are everywhere. It’s like they breed in the carpet or something.
3. Farts are funny. And so are burps. And they can be used as weapons. Please don’t fart on your brother has become a mantra with as often as I have to say it.
4. You-know-what’s can be stretched really far. It looks painful, but apparently that’s funny too. And they’re play-toys. And hitting them? Also very funny, according to my boys.
5. Underwear is multi-functional. Whether it be as actual underwear, a hat, or part of a superhero costume, underwear has Way more uses than I ever imagined.
6. Everything is a weapon. Forget about not getting toy guns for kids because Anything can be made into a gun/knife/machete/alien death ray. The other day I watched a tissue box become a sword. It’s like it’s in their DNA.
7. Goldfish don’t stand a chance. So far in my home they’ve been swallowed, stepped on, bathed, and brought to the store in a pocket. Stop buying goldfish, you say? No, I’d rather them learn these life lessons with goldfish than with a puppy.
8. Silence is terrifying. As a mommy time alone is rare, and for about a second, the quiet feels amazing. Then, you realize quiet means something truly bad that they don’t want you to know about is happening. I’ve never been more terrified of silence in my life.
9. Creepy creatures are a part of life. Not only are they given to you as gifts, they’re found in the weirdest places. When you make a little boy’s bed, you should Always be prepared to have a frog, lizard, or snake pop out at you.
10. They love you best of all. Even if they think kisses are gross most of the time, the second they get hurt or are sick YOU are the only one they want. I know I’m my boy’s first love and that’s both a huge responsibility and the most amazing thing in the world.

Calm down it’s just a funny article, Mrs. Perfect Parent. I’m a mom 5 boys and yes they can be disgusting it’s in their dna. She was just giving us a laugh. Calm down and put your big girl, I’m perfect mom panties on, and deal with it. Maybe even crack a smile. Chill out for manners sake lol p.s by the way do you even have children. Because I feel bad that their mother is so uptight. You must be such a fun mom.
That was for Linda, little miss manners and stuff.
I’m sorry ladies, but this is one dumb article. I am a mother of a boy and although my boy swears he’s “allergic” to water lol, He doesn’t smell like piss, he doesn’t have his legos all over the place, and seriously with the gold fish?? You’d rather they learn a lesson with fish than with a dog?? How about teaching them MANNERS, and VALUES, and taking time to EDUCATE your own children!!!!
My boy know to pee with toilet seat up, if he wets the floor by mistake he knows he will the one who will clean it up, he knows that ALL life is to be respected there fore if he wants a pet even a fish he will be gentle and caring. I maybe critics and say have people say: I’m a monster and don’t let my son be a kid.
But I rather be perceived as a monster mother than to have my son be perceived as a bad kid.
Sorry for all the typos my dumb phone is acting slow and switching what I’m actually typing! Grrr.. I really do know how to spell so save the negative thoughts or comments about the spelling 🙂
with that being said. My boy is the most wonderful, respectful, loving, kind, silly, yes, dirty (as I have to nag him about getting in the shower on a daily basis) and the best thing in my life! My kid and my husband call me their princess and they both treat me as such, they fight over who will open the car door for me and they pick flowers ? when we’re at the park for me. I’m one spoiled Mother and wife. I just needed to convey that you can still Oooze love and letting kids be kids while making sure your kids are still thought to behave and rised well, I cringe when I see the overly passive mother at the store while their kids are running them. Simply sad and repugnant to see. Parents need to start behaving like parents not like they’re kids maids or friends!!

I had to seriously laugh at how accurate this is! We don’t have a goldfish (#7) but if I have to say “you can not ride a dog like a horse” one more time….!!
So True Facts ” from a 5 y o boy’s mom experience ”
the Lego and little toys part is a real tragedy
the stretchy ” you know what ” is (( every shower time or bee )) cause of fight
funny fart and burps too
the goldfish part was close but I have some control over
I went through the suffer of a puppy but I decided to save his life “kinda” and I brought it back to where I bought it from
we had a poor little turtle it last for almost 2 month and then died “the poor thing had some harsh falls and drops ”
and the most recent is a couple love birds we got as a gift the first few days they almost have a nervous breakdown because of my son 🙂
BUT the point I feel the most is the last one he is the most kind hearted, compassionate, sweet and generous boy in the world.
time to time just suddenly he kisses my hand or hug me very tight and as for kiss that is his fuel as I tell my mom since he was a little baby I say ” my son is a kind of creature the live and fed on kisses ”
MAY GOD BLESS MY BABY
I LOVE YOU
Love this, all 10 are 100% true! About #9, you learn to just stop touching his bed, and shut the door instead! Also, I’d say 80% are true for girls, as well, and a big brother influenced girl can burp/fart with the best of the boys!
My only reassurance is that living in the South, we send our middle school tweets to ‘Social Class’ twice a month, to humanize and Socialize! Somehow, all the weirdness and quirks just become more endearing. My baby boy is now married, and my daughter-in-love seems perfectly equipped to raise boys, or even girls someday!!
Be blessed!!
Tweens (not tweets)!
Hahahaha, thank you so ,much, needed that wonderful insightful ray of sunshine. Those points are all so true, i have two boys 16 months apart, my eldest is 4 and a half at the moment. I love that there is other mom’s out there with young boys that can see the humour in it, i love my boys to bits, and think they are far easier than girls, wont have to deal with hormones on an emotional level, just cuts & bruises, and my boys wont get pregnant, haha. Please keep the amazing insights coming, it sometimes feels very loney being the only female in a house of males, but i will secretly admit that sometimes i do feel like the luckiest and most special female in the world becuase the include me (by choice or not). Thank you!!
