Parenting Guru: 10 Reasons why I love mothering boys

Obviously I love my sons, they are super awesome people I’m proud to know. Mothering boys in general is an amazing adventure for which I have so much to be thankful for.

Letterman style, here are my Top 10 Reasons Why I Love Mothering Boys:

10. The dirt. I am a reformed neat freak, so reformed I’m downright messy anymore. Having boys has taught me there’s way more to life than a pristine house and the frustration that comes with it. It’s all about living.

9. Roadtrip bathroom breaks. Not such a big deal with boys for obvious anatomical reasons.

8. Being the queen. I dig the whole mama’s boy thing. They always tell me I’m beautiful, assume it’s my birthday whenever I wear a dress and adore me in a way that’s downright addictive. I wish I could bottle all that up for all of eternity, I really do.

7. Not having to do their hair in the morning. Oh lawd, the fights my mom and I used to have in the mornings over my hair. My boys get a quicky finger-comb through if they’re lucky.

6. They don’t care about their clothes (yet). I realize at some point their clothes will become an issue but right now they’d be satisfied in a potato sack, so long as I cut the tag out of course.

5. The opportunity to stretch myself. My boys love the outdoors and I, well, how do I say this…don’t. I’m slowly coming around though and I kinda like it.

4. The volume. I love the sound of boisterous laughter and joy. My sons are hilarious, totally loud and bursting with life.

3. The opportunity to raise well-rounded men. May my boys grow to learn their way around a stove and a washing machine.

2. Roughhousing. Sure, it’s all fun and games until someone loses and eye but until someone loses an eye, it’s all fun and games.

1. The brotherhood. It’s a sappy, sappy thing to see my boys love/hate/love each other the way they do. It makes me so proud to have given each one of them a friend for life and fills me with all sorts of yummy goodness.
