Best thing about being a boy mum

The love they give for free lol I feel like boys are attached to their mum's in a different way from girls. I have 3 boys and they are so caring, yes they can be a complete mess at times but that's the joy of having them..never a dull moment

I started realizing how unfairly people can treat boys. People will assume your child is "mean" or "bad" simply cause they're a boy. The expectations for boys are just so low...people expect them to be slower to learn, but my son was not. I've even had someone tell me that I'd be more worried about my child being kidnapped if I had a girl 🙃 I think it made me realize how differently people view little girls and little boys and it's kinda insane. One of my best friend's kids is a little girl and she's insanely rude and mean but people still have these expectations about boys. None of these are the best things about raising a boy, but they are how my outlook has changed. I've started thinking about the men I know and wondering how many of them were treated badly because they're male.

I have 3 girls and a boy and adore them all. My boy is the sweetest little boy ever! He adores his older sisters hates to see them fight or cry always tries to cheer them up and make peace between them and he’s only 2. His little face just lights up every time I walk into the room even if I’ve just been gone for a second. Boys are just soo soo sweet! He also thinks he is an MMA fighter but that’s life we can’t have it all 😅😅

@Annie think this is part of the reason I'm doing this post. Seems to be so many women wishing they had girls and not boys or being disappointed at scan photos before they've even met their baby because they are assuming things about what it means to be a boy mum or what they will miss out on if they dont have girls. And whilst I do understand that viewpoint I feel like I want to celebrate boys! My outlook has changed in that I only now realise how much pressure is on boys to behave a certain way and theres less acceptance of having a baby boy than I ever realised like people saying "maybe next one will be a girl," as if I'm disappointed. I feel so protective of him and thought I wouldnt need to worry about boys just as much. I do love how sweet and smiley and chilled he is and I cant wait to be playing with him when hes older.... boy toys are way more fun than girl toys as well

@Sarah yeah when we found out I'm pregnant with my second boy people acted very much like "oh no!" But I'm thrilled. I want my son to have a brother

How sweet and caring he is and willing to help round the house. He’s 15 months and will load the washing machine for me and will pass me clothes hangers to put the clothes away and helps to unload the dishwasher. I honestly never imagined how caring he would be and he truly loves to help me out which is so lovely. 🥰

No nausea during pregnancy, clear skin

I was mistreated severely by boys in school and past exes. Now I have two boys and I'm raising them to be polite young men. I get to teach them how to respect women and how to respect themselves. I'm also teaching them compassion. It's healing my past trauma just watching them have manners. I bought my youngest a bouncy ball the other day and he acted so appreciative and told me I was the best and hugged me over something so small. My boys are going to make the best husbands and fathers some day.

Besides the unconditional love (both ways ❤️) I love that I’m shaping a man for the future. I don’t put expectations on him to be a certain way, or to not cry, or to not do or like things that are typically considered girl things. He can be his own person! I get that you can do that with a girl too, I would if I had one, but I feel like it weighs more for boys as the expectations of being strong and not showing emotions etc are very heavy.

Boys love is way different then the girls I always get cuddle for my son and her respect me and care for me when he see me in low mood he care for me when I was in hospital for check the baby he get me blanket and coved me
