Description
Raising a child is challenging, no matter their gender... but raising boys just hits different than raising girls! Today, we get honest about all things #boymom: the cultural narratives around raising as on, our own hopes and fears for our sons, and how the relationship we have with our sons is different than the one we have with our daughters.
Listen to learn more about:
the cultural norm of the "wild boy"
a possible origin story for the #boymom trend
how we both felt about having sons
how we identify - as boy moms or girl moms
the cultural narrative about the relationship between boys & their moms
how we REALLY feel about becoming THE mother-in-law
our fears and hopes for our own boys
how our goals for our sons impact how we parent them today
Plus, Andrea cringes at her own (former) traditionalist stance on why she wanted a boy first; Jessica seems unsure about how many children Andrea has; and we both wade deep into how our relationships with our sons are shaped by our relationships with the other women that will be in their lives.
