MOMS OF ALL GIRLS VS MOMS OF ALL BOYS

    Top post on IndiBlogger, the biggest community of Indian Bloggers
  • I recall attending babyshower of one of my close friend's daughter. Invariably after the lunch, I joined in the conversation with young moms present there, the topic was MOMS  WITH  ALL  GIRLS  VS MOMS  WITH  ALL  BOYS.
  • MOMS OF ALL BOYS ARE DIFFERENT!!!  chirped one friend. Being a Mom of all girls, I didn't quite get it.
  • Having boys means tearing the house apart, when they are kids, yet another mumma tweeted.
  • Boy fight around, nearly killing one another and do it all over again. They never stop moving, always playing, running,  eat and fight constantly making the home an indoor sports centre; at times a battlefield said another one. To which one more mom added that everything becomes a weapon, be it a book, a pen, a toy, or a pillow not without the hard punches. 
  • She further added that parents of all boys are more harder as raising all boys means not only more patience but more hardwork. 
  •  
  • Another pretty mommy reacted stating that having all girls means happy and harmonious life. In fact she explained her statement point by point...
  • 1. Girls fight less, they do fight and drives parents crazy, but no bruises, play nicely. 
  • 2. Having all daughters is the secret of domestic bliss. 
  • 3. Father of all girls are softer and more generous than father of all boys. 
  • 4. Baby girls clothes are the most adorable things on the planet. Their  hair ties, clips brushes, any mother would love to dress them like Princess. NOT WITHOUT TANTRUMS!!!   And MOOD SWINGS! 
  • 5. Girls with their girly stuff, reading fairy tales, playing with dolls are a great delight for parents
  •  After this pointer round, yet another mumma stated that daughters are more attached to their parents than sons.
  • One more moaned about raising all boys meant high on energy and low in patience, though it was ruled out by many moms with all girls. 
  • During the discussion one more sweet muma narrated an entire twenty minute story about the energy and patience level to raise all her girls. 
  • Though all the lovely  mommies present there knew that whether they are moms to girls or moms to boys, they all are blessed to have them and the bond between the parents and children is priceless. But, even so, I could see and sense that the conversation had turned into a CAMP DRIVING A WEDGE BETWEEN THE MOMS OF ALL BOYS AND MOMS OF ALL GIRLS. 
  •  As for me, I sincerely feel that, in this age of infertility issues, one should consider oneself fortunate to have children.
  • Whether they are MOMS OF ALL BOYS, MOMS OF ALL GIRLS OR MOMS OF A GIRL AND A BOY, all strive with almost same amount of patience, doing  many of the same things daily from feeling engulfed to handling mood huffs.
  • All kids loves their parents in a special way, The secret of domestic bliss is not related to the gender of one's kids but our nurturing.
  •   
  • In an attempt to end the debate, asking for another round of ice cream, I cut the gordian knot by raising a toast to all moms who are blessed to experience the fun of raising their children be them all boys or all girls!!!

  1. Nice one 👍 I felt the 'Moms of all boys' are exaggerating their feelings and experiences. All boys are not that bad :)

    1. Thanks Sachin, Yeah, the behaviour of our kids does not relate to their gender. It differs from person ti person.
