I stumbled upon on this blog post today by Natural Mommies about being a mother of boys. Boy, can I relate!! After spending three months away from home, I truly do realize that boys are from Mars and are looking for ways to go back!! :-)
I can't speak for other mothers and their boys. But my boys are honestly not too bad. I have my moments (days!) of yelling and constantly repeating myself. There are days where I feel like I should just record my instructions and reminders and put them on repeat on the speakers. (pet peeve: repeating myself!)
But after a long trip with them, I do realize that they are good listeners, they are good friends, they are sensitive to others and their needs and they are polite. I am not quite sure how that happened. Shafique and I must have been doing something right!
Check out the blog post I mentioned. http://naturalmommie.com/2012/09/for-moms-of-boys-speaking-their-language/
I would love to hear what your thoughts are as well. How is your son different than your daughter? What would you change about them or yourself to function better as a family?
Thanks for tuning in and I will try to better about updating my blog.
