My brother-in-law recently told me that he never would've known just how different the sexes are had he not had both a son and a daughter.
For someone who's from a family of girls, I'm pretty naive when it comes to raising a boy. And the more I talk to moms of males, the more I realize just how in over my head I'll be.
Here's what I'm dreading...
* morning wood (yeah, I said it)
now that that's out of the way...
* getting sprayed in the face with pee
* circumcision
* mischief, mayhem, and roughhousing
* bullying
* superhero underwear
* an affinity for heavy metal music
* an aversion to sports
* slutty teenage girlfriends
... but what I fear most is the day I have to tell my son he's getting too old to call me "mommy". CRUSHING.
Ok maybe identical twin boys makes me biased, but there's nothing like life with wild monsters - and mine are WILD indeed, but I've never loved trucks, mud, swords, trains, and dogs more:)
