10 Signs You’re a Mom of All Boys

I am a mom to all boys. I have gotten used to saying this as the time goes by. I know some of you other moms can relate, so I wanted to make a list of  signs you’re a mom of boys. I’m sure there are WAY more than 10 things, but it’s a start. Definitely leave a comment below of some of the signs you’ve come across, and I’ll add them to the list!

10 Signs You’re a Mom of All Boys 

You get those comments

You know what comments I’m talking about. “ALL BOYS?” “I bet you got your hands full.” Yes, my hands are full and yes I have all boys. Or the, “I feel sorry for you, you’re the only girl. Don’t you want a girl”. No, I will not be trying for a girl anytime soon. Thanks! I mean.. we did that and guess what? The last one was another boy. So that’s it, no more. And yes, I’m fine being the only girl in the house. Over time you learn to OWN that title!

 You’re just exhausted

Boys like to go, go, go. There is no downtime for tea parties or princess dress up. My boys love to run, play, jump, and run in circles. I’m telling you, it exhausts me just watching them play! Why don’t they just ever want to sit down and play a nice quiet game? But I will not trade their energy for bratty girls. They are THEE worse.

 Time goes way too fast

You are probably looking at your boy thinking he was just born. Boys tend to grow up (as far as looks) so much faster than girls and the boys don’t get to keep their baby faces. You know you’re a mom of boys when you’re busy squishing and squeezing those cheeks before they’re gone. Sometimes I peek in on the boys when they are sleep just to admire what I help create and get to love on every day. Sometimes, 12 years into this I am still amazed of wow, these are my babies.

Power Rangers, Minecraft, Cards, Sword Fights, Pirates, Ninjas, oh yeah you’ve played them all

You know how to use the Power Rangers to get what you want. “Oh, you don’t want to eat your veggies? Well, no Power Rangers for you.” If you’re a Mom of boys, you have definitely played the bad guy a few times in your lifetime. And of course, I want to come back in my next lifetime as a Ninja. My 9 year old told me women make the best Ninjas because they are flexible. Now, how about that?

You know the latest gaming systems

When I was a little girl I didn’t know what a PlayStation was, but now I know what each gaming system is and when the next one is coming out as well. This is very important as a Mom of all boys to be in the know about this stuff! And you have to know how to fix these systems when something goes wrong. If not, you will have a lot of frustrated children. Google will be your best friend. And YouTube.

 You’ve tried 10 different stain cleaners

I’ve spent a ton of money on stain cleaners. I’ve even bought all of the really expensive ones, but the dumbest one ends up working. Put Dawn on a red juice stain and it comes out. Can I have all of my money back please? And what’s up with every single pair of pants being ruined with holes and permanent markers. Every day my 9 year old gets in the car with pants that looked like they went to war with pens and permanent markers. Oye!

Everything is Football or some other sport

Even if your kids doesn’t like football, your husband does. It’s football all of the time because once the season ends, they’re counting down till the season begins. That right there will make you want to smack your head ten times in a row. Or, it’s just a sports thing. My boys are not big into football. Swimming, soccer, and basketball are the three biggest sports in our house. However, we all love watching college football.It’s almost crucial that even if you don’t like football (or other sports), it grows on you. I wasn’t a big football fan growing up, but over time it has grown on me.

 Every pair of jeans has a hole

I don’t care what brand of jeans you just bought, they will get a hole in them. Boys are like jean hole magnets, they put a hole in every pair. And dirt. Let’s not forget the dirt. Holes and dirt are huge magnets when it comes to boys. And this is why you don’t see boy jeans in thrift stores. It’s hard to resell a pair of decent boy jeans. I still don’t understand just HOW they get that many holes into a pair of jeans in just ONE day. Sometimes, it’s just a few hours!

You put yourself on repeat

I have yet to meet a boy that listens the very first time. I just press repeat whenever I ask my boys to do something. They must be learning from their father early. {Oops, sorry, D! }

You are their world

Sure, your boys may say you’re fat or you have wild hair, but the truth is— you’re their world. They look up to you because you take care of them. No matter what, you’ll always be their Mom and the one that they will put first over all others. I mean, they will love Dad. But we ALL know, there is nothing like Mom!

Enjoy the moments of being an all boy mom. Not everyone gets this privilege, so try not to take it for granted.
