Boy moms are such an interesting group. I'm not talking about normal mothers who happen to have only given birth to members of the male gender; I'm more referring to moms who wrap up a large part of their identity in being the mother of a boy, which is just so different than mothering girls. I'm sure that Dr. Freud has written extensively about this phenomenon and the inverse of girl dads, a much less maligned group in this discourse. I think the unnerving thing about so many boy moms is that they see themselves as a romantic rival to the hypothetical women their sons will date in the future. How many moms have you heard talking about how they'll always be their son's "first love"? I've listened to too many for my liking. You can love your children without competing for their affection; your child will thank you for that.

    Anonymous member. 19m. Made sure you can't see the babies face for their privacy... but wanted to share this incase it's YOUR baby or a baby you know!!! Some guy was driving down with this baby legit standing in their car seat. Not buckled. Kid can't be much older than 12 months if even that old. Little one was even licking the window at one point like there's nothing restraining this kid Here I thought "oh shot the baby escaped and dad didn't notice yet" but then he turned around and looked at

Maybe he simply forgot to buckle her in. Not all countries require car seats, like Mexico,

    and the peer influence is Roaten. I know that there are kids that school that are doing amazing ana tl 95 are not pulled down by the crop but unfortunately mine don't seem to have that ability reject the "culture" that they're around. So I sit here, pondering the possibility of homeschooling again. The main reason for homeschooling would be so that they can actually learn something instead of being so easily distracted by all the garbage around them and so that they have a little more time to ma

    Anonymous member 17m Do the wildlife here eat hard boiled eggs? My sis and I hid 360 dyed easter eggs outside for our kids this year. When we woke up in the morning, every single egg was gone except for ONE! It was hidden in a planter on my front porch. Do deer really eat eggs like that..shell and all? If you see some in the lower miller creek area, colorful sparkly now you know why Imao!

    I lost someone I loved, truth be told I lost them long ago. what I lost yesterday was hope, hope they would set aside the hate in their heart and let down the grudge they hold onto so tightly. Go a head and hate, hold on tightly to the grudge, believe the lies you tell. You're the one who is missing out. As for me, I'm sad but positively moving on, and I have lots of other people in my life who love and care about me... I will be ok. Like 017 Most relevant V Comment Don't be sad, I love you!!! Ş

    Thread < Back 178K views 22h Follow When my son who lives with my ex comes to visit, he says things like "my dad" and "my cousins" in front of my husband and his family, and to me. I feel like he's trying to create drama. We ignore it but it irks me. It's starting to feel like he's bringing my ex's toxic influence into my home. Maybe I'm triggered, but I'm starting to get more stressed out the longer he's here. Ugh. 248 Q 786 07 14 Replies View activity >
