18 Signs You Are A Mum Of Boys!
You know that you have been a mum of boys for a few years when……………………..
1. You don’t even bat an eyelid when your son spidermans up the door frame or waves at you whilst hanging upside down on the monkey bars!
2. Every time you return home from a walk a random stick has appeared in your garden!
3. You don’t worry about the clinking noise in your washing machine as you know it is yet another stone collection piling out of school trouser pockets!
4. You give your son a bowl and some lettuce for the snail he just found instead of screaming when he wiggles it in front of your face!
5. Your ‘no balls in the house’ rule gradually becomes a ‘keep it below waist height‘ rule!
6. You freely use the term ‘fart’ for passing wind and don’t even try to jazz it up as a ‘parp’ or a ‘pop’!
7. You get so used to the toilet seat being up that instead of tutting and carefully putting the lid down you will, at times, squat over the already raised seat!
8. If the toilet seat does happen to be down for a change, you know never to sit on it without first wiping it in case of any lazy dribblers who couldn’t quite work out how to lift the seat!
9. You get outside whatever the weather and to hell with frizzy hair and soggy boots!
10. You start a karate class to hold your own when the play fights get overly rambunctious!
11. You know all the words to the teenage mutant ninja turtle theme tune and get up to copy their martial art moves in time to the music!
12. You know more about willies than men themselves!
13. After initially saying you draw the line at showing appreciation for arm pit farts, you can’t help but advise that a damp armpit at bath time may well help to get the optimum squelch!
14. You are forever stopping prying little eyes trying to look behind you as you have a wee as they try to fathom how you can possibly do that when you have no willy!
15. You stop waxing your bikini line in an attempt to cover your bits from the above investigation!
16. As much as you tried to argue your case for your hatred of guns you now have several nerf guns in combat around the house!
17. You give up moaning at them to flush the toilet after weeing and convince yourself that it is a good way to save water!
18. You buy yourself a wonder women outfit – not too impress your husband in the bedroom, but to charge around with them when they are playing super heroes!

Love it, my little boy is only 2 but already some of these are very familiar!! His current favourite word is fart…..!!!
You have lots of fun to come Elaine, trust me! 🙂 xx
love the wonder woman pic! I am feeling you on the gun issue, since he turned 5 we have been given about 10 nerf guns in 3 months! So for Christmas I made sure my daughters and I got nerf guns too, if you can’t beat ’em, join em’! I must admit family nerf battles are loads of fun!
I think you are on to something there Mackenzie! I don’t think I fathomed how many people would be sharing this post on facebook when I added that picture! Oh well, no turning back now 🙂 !!!
I only have one boy but agree with quite a lot on the list. I think of him (in the nicest way) like he’s a puppy – needs exercising constantly so he stays out of trouble! #thelist
lol, I know exactly what you mean there. We are getting a puppy next week too so I’ll have 5 playful pups to exercise! xx
All very familiar……. I have three boys 7, 4 and 3 especially when it comes to bodily functions and toilet use….. sometimes its better to just give up!!
You know what they say, if you can’t beat them join them! 🙂 xx
Yes to all the above! Our toilet seats stay up as that’s the only was I can ensure I’m not going to slide off it when I sit down. I’ve only got 3 but if you count the husband and dog I’m completely and utterly outnumbered.
lol, we are getting a dog on Tuesday to add to my 4 boys, husband and 2 male cats. The dog is of course another boy! x
This is so true!!!!
🙂 xx
Gorgeous list! I’ve only got 1 boy, and at 17 months he’s just started climbing up EVERYTHING, and yesterday licked his very first snail! What a milestone!
Might have to buy myself a Wonder Woman outfit too 🙂
#thelist
Haha, I love the way you say licked his FIRST snail! The sign of things to come! I can highly recommend the wonder women outfit 😉 x
Ha! Got a few of these to look forward to but I particularly love the Wonder Woman outfit…I bet your hubby wishes you would wear it in the bedroom 😉 nice one on all those FB shares by the way!!
Thanks for linking up to #TheList, great to have you! xxx
Haha, I bet he would 😉 Thank you, it’s a really great to see the fb shares going up by the day 🙂 xxxx
I also like to give a little wink to parents of girls as they ‘spot’ their kids climbing trees and I am just watching from the bench.
Found you on #TheList
lol, love it! x
ROFLMAO!!! my wife has me and her son to contend with so she’ll agree to all of this list.
The after bath maybe his biggest thing at the moment. His thought is “Just put your mouth into the crook of daddies neck and blow hard”. Works every time and he cannot stop laughing.
Great post, you really captured the life of young guys 🙂
Thanks Colin! 🙂 I’ll have to try that one with my boys! x
14 and 15, v funny! Great list x
lol, thank you! xx
I have three boys and I can relate to these. Boys are great though. Much more loving than girls, in my opinion
I couldn’t agree more 🙂 xx
I have all of this to come now i have a little boy. I already have two girls and i have found my son to be so different to my girls he is so much more loving and cuddly and laid back xx #TheList
Us mums are lucky getting all our cuddles from our boys! What fun you have to come 🙂 x
Love it I’m a mum of 3 boys and can relate to them all and lots more x
lol, it’s great to know I’m not the only one who has done through all these! x
Ha ha! Brilliant, you see this is why I am so glad I have a girl! Don’t think my nerves are up to a boy! Thanks for linking up to #TheList x
Haha, having boys has definitely made me toughen up! 🙂 x
Oh my goodness, this list makes me laugh so hard! I may not have kids at all yet, but I have 8 younger siblings, 3 of which are boys, so I get it! Hilarious! I love your writing style!
Wow, you are the eldest of 9!!! Much respect to your mum! I bet you help her loads. Thanks so much, I’m really glad you like my writing 🙂 x
Love it! Especially number 7! My little boy is only 2 but its all headed my way, especially if this next one is a boy (roll on April for finding out!!) I’m already outnumbered 2 to 1 xx
Congratulations! I bet you are counting down the days until you meet your little one now! So glad you enjoyed the list, there is lots for you to look forward to! xx
This really made me laugh. Having just the one son, I can really see where you’re coming from. Especially with the sticks !
I’m glad you enjoyed it! 🙂 xx
Loved reading this list! I am expecting my first boy, due in May. I see I have got lots to look forward to! Husband has already decided he and his son will play lots of tricks on Mummy… should I start worrying? 😉
Ooh, they are ganging up on your already! Don’t worry forewarned is forearmed 😉 You will have loads of fun to look forward to. Congratulations on your pregnancy, roll on May! xx
