I think I have said before I am not a fan of kids in general.
I don’t know what it is. I’m not the mom that can tolerate going to community mom meet-ups and PTAs, and fundraisers. Heck, I can barely stand there when I pick Charlotte up from school and some half pint starts up a conversation with me about God knows what. Its like talking to someone that dontspeakahdaenglishgood. Of course, the one I own I tend to fair better with, but overall, in public, other peoples kids make my left eye twitch.
Especially little boys.
When I was in New Orleans, Chris and I went and sat down for a psychic reading. Its just something you do while you are in New Orleans. And he said if I had more kids at all, it would only be one and it would be a boy.
Chris and I met eyes.
Well, that secured it, time to stock up on condoms again.
A boy?
You mean a boy, like a kid with a penis and zero choices in the kids clothing department and runs rapid in Target no matter what you say and pulls crap off the shelves and likes to pick up doo doo to lick it for fun? That kind of boy?
I have seen my neighborhood boys in action. Thanks, I’ll pass.
And not to totally take a sidebar, but does anyone else think this crap should be banned?
The only thing worse then these little embroidered/iron on outfits are the parents that buy them. And if you’re ‘offended’ cause you buy them, trust me, its me who is offended when I see your poor little boy dressed up in them. Tip: I cant tell your child’s a boy when he is in a pink/turquoise/mint green one piece romper. Cause its a gay GIRL outfit.
Of course, I do like *some* boys. Boys that look like this:
Then again, Lee said she has it on good authority that *that* boy is Gay.
Maybe his mom dressed him in embroidered rompers.
I know I cannot be alone. Do sons just annoy scare the ever living bejeezes out of anyone else? I’m totally expecting to be the loner here while moms defend their perfect kids.
Unless someone wants to be honest.

(this post was written last year in January 2010…..thought my friends get a kick out of it now considering the irony.)
Oops I wrote a book! See what happens when I start talking about my awesome kids
I have one of each 5 years apart and they have completely switched it up on me! My boy was a very trying baby with a cherub face and a devilish personality! I never slept, he was spoiled rotten, pooped in places I don’t want to remember and drove me to the brink of insanity!
My daughter was the sweetest baby who slept through the night within her first 2 months of life, was content all the time and always wanting to please.
Now? HA! My 14 yo son is a neat freak artistic type. He’s funny and sarcastic and a good kid. My 9 yo daughter has went from sweet to diva princess to rolling her eyes at me cause I don’t know what I’m talking about EVER tween. She is WAY whinier then my son ever hoped to be too. I am SO dreading PMS with her because I just KNOW it’s not going to be pretty!
Still, I wouldn’t trade them or their personalities for anything! Even if you can’t stand kids YOUR own kids are always better! Oh and seriously Efron’s Gay?!? 8-\ Doesn’t seem right!
I have 4 boys and a girl and the boys are soooo much easier than the diva/high maintenance daughter. lol Granted boys are rambunctious and like mud and all of those types of things but they still wash at the end of the day.
I would totally have more kids if I could guarantee they were all boys and no more girls.
I have 3 girls and 1 boy. Much less drama with the boy, though he’s pretty energetic! There are pros and cons to each gender…and it changes from minute to minute.
And like many others have said, your *own* boy is much easier to like!
Oh and? Screw that duck-foofy-crap, get him some awesome Aeropostale/Old Navy/Gap sweet little-man clothes.
Oh no, honey, you can raise a little boy to be the sweetest, gentlest, romantic sweet boy ever. Flower-picker and all. Nothing is better than that, I swear. Besides, boys don’t get PMS. Word.
Now, I will be the first to admit I am scared to DEATH of when they becomes teens, hormones are a ragin’, and some hussy teeny-bopper wants to make my boys her baby-daddy. Oh hellz no, I will own a shot gun. Or a taser. Or both. Not sure what I’m gonna stock my arsenal with yet LOL
I have heard that boys are actually easier than girls. Should that be then or than? I always get them confused. Anyway, I always wanted one of each but got two boys. I love my boys but just like any child they can be a pain in the butt!
I think at this point in my life I could say that I am afraid of little girls. Even though I want one, I feel clueless. Little boys, however – I know them well. Yes, they are crazy and out of control. (And I am still dying to have a little girl….someday)
Yes, cute clothes are hard to find, but I find satisfaction when I find an adorable sweater vest and pair it with a tweed blazer. That romper that you posted is obnoxious, yes.
And BTW – I think you just set yourself up to have a boy if you have another one.
I have 4 boys and 3 girls. And depending on the day, I’d say I’d rather one over the other. They have their bad points either way, and good too. I hate that the girls have my husband wrapped around their fingers before they enter the world of air, but they are fun to dress. Boys, why bother dressing them? Hello!!!! They will destroy the outfit the first time they wear it! My boys run around naked until they are at least 3. lol They all stripped if I did try to dress them. But actually my last daughter was the worst. She actually lost her tights AT CHURCH. No idea where she took them off at.
If the boy is yours, you will love the snot out of him. And the snot he wipes on you to make you scream.
I actually kind of agree with you on this Trisha. It was always my worst fear to have a house full of boys with no one to buy ribbons for. It’s not that boys are bad, I’m sure having a son would be a gift and I’d adapt and be happy… it’s just that I REALLY like little girls. It was my dream for as long as I can remember so when I got pregnant, I just knew I’d have a boy. My husband comes from a family dominated by boys so there was no way I’d get lucky… but I did. And I think, I just wouldn’t know what to do with a boy now. Having a daughter is so much fun!
I only have a girl and she can through me for a loop. Complete drama queen but I still love her. One day I do hope for a boy…one day. However, if I get my boy he will NEVER be put in those ugly ass rompers! Ever!
Wouldn’t trade my testosterone filled household for anything…especially a witchy PMS’ing one!
) I’m bad enough…can’t imagine having to go once a month with another mini-me.
Boys are not so bad- they are usually mommas boys though. I have a boy and a girl- my daughter is a drama queen at 3 years old and my son is stubborn as hell. But I love them both to pieces.
I agree with you on other peoples kids and those rompers- NOT CUTE! I keep my son in jeans and polos most of the time.
Oh and I think since your so against having boys- you are going to have one if you get preggo. hhaha
i know, its a curse i bet.
LOL I say the same thing about girls… and often offer to trade them
so it goes both ways!!
Now see, I have 2 boys, grew up as a tomboy, and the thought of having a baby girl scared the shit out of me. I could barely handle my own PMS let alone some other being who would possibly start around age 9. My PMS was so bad that the thought of 2 of us was terrifying. It’s a boy were the sweetest words the doctor said to me.
I agree though, I CANNOT handle other people’s kids, and that romper is fugly.
im not there w/ PMS yet. The kid is only 5. I figure I have atleast 5-6 more years before I am rewriting this to I cant stand girls.
Oh … but no ducks. My husband is a football player. Gay things don’t slide around here LOL
As for the Efron kid or however you spell his name, since seeing him in HS musical, he will forever be 15 in my head which is just *eww* lol
i didnt know that kat. I mean, i think you mentioned it last week, but who does he play for? Im big into football.
Actually I have four girls and one boy. My son rarely ever causes me a problem. It’s my girls that drive me insane. I often say, “Eh, I was four away from all boys…” LOL
That being said, he does have his disgusting habits… but I’ll take those over my girls’ drama-queen-itis any day.
and w/ 4 girls, i would say your son is probably the vacation
HAHA. so funny, boys are something else- but my oldest 2 are boys so i have gotten used to it. However, Living in nashville…. I get to see a lot of those gay awful outfits. I work in the church 3 and 4 year olds rooms once a month and just can’t believe it when a mom brings me her 4 year old dressed up like that- c’mon really? Not only is it gay for a little baby boy, but a 4 year old boy- Trust me he will have issues. So glad you brought this issue to light
if i am being honest, and i always am, i dont like the embroidered girly ones either.
my son wore his jock strap to school yesterday. no cup, just the strap. I asked him why and he couldn’t tell me, just wanted to. he’s EIGHT. thank goodness my other two are girls, I have NO clue.
this was so funny i read it outloud to my DH
That outfit is horrible I would never in a million years dress my boy in that. That being said I only shopped at Dillards with mine. Polo only. Boys outfits are pathetic. My boy is great just very wound up. He is off the walls. He was much easier than my little girl is though. He never threw tantrums, kicked his feet, cried uncontrollably. I would take 2 more boys over another girl!
i know, the duck is so wrong.
