Boy Moms are some of the most notorious posters in the world. I don't know what makes them so much weirder than girl dads, but they take their affection for their sons to a whole other level. Far too often, moms of boys act like they are doing something far more important than parents who are raising girls. They've got an air of superiority that's difficult to put into words, but you know it when you see it. Not only that, but they also talk about their sons like they're in love with them, which is really harrowing to behold. Oedipus is alive and well in so many of these mommy Facebook groups, and someone needs to tell them that they are not their son's "first love" in a romantic way. If you are a normal boy mom who can't stand this nonsense or is here to be entertained, these parenting posts explore the depth and breadth of similar nonsense.
