Little Boys ...
I suggest if you don't want to read a negative blog PLEASE don't proceed .... this is just something I have to get off my chest and the best way to do that is to blog about it!!!!
This weekend I overheard (at the arena) someone say ..... "Man I hope that my daughter doesn't have a little boy" .. what kinda statement is that?! ....I then hear someone ask ... "Why do you say that?" .. where the lady quickly recovers by saying "Oh I just couldn't handle watching my grandson play hockey, it's just too rough!" ... why does everyone think that little boys are so bad. Yep they are busy but not all of them .. take Linden for example .. a VERY VERY busy, go-getter, dare-devil .. but take one second and look at Linden's parents .. Are we every home? .. Do we ever just sit at home and do nothing??? .. NOPE!!!! We're always always busy ... do ya think that that's why Linden is busy??? OF COURSE it is .. he doesn't know how to sit and watch a movie for more then 1/2 hour cause that's about the longest that Ryan or I sit for! It just makes me soooo mad that people just assume all boys are bad ... it's quite hurtful and I'm not sure why? I kept saying to myself .. oh Holly not everyone thinks that .. but you know I hear it OVER AND OVER AND OVER .. it's terrible .. I just hope that when Linden gets old enough to understand all these comments that he doesn't actually believe it!!!!! I think kids are a splitting image of their parents .. our son loves all sports and is not seen without a baseball bat, hockey stick, golf club or some sort of ball in his hand but like I say he's a true child of ours .. does it make him BAD to be busy and want to swing a bat or throw a ball???? I'm sooooo hurt and frustrated!
I often hear people say things like .. how can you handle having a boy .. I don't want a boy they are way to hard to deal with and get into everything .. it would suck to have a boy ??? It's very hurtful to hear such things .. that's when I think to myself .. if they only knew how much little boys LOVE their Moms and how you as a Mom would be number one in their heart for the rest of their lives they wouldn't say that!
Yes .. boys are way different then girls .. most of them just won't sit down and color for an hour .. or sit in a nice outfit without getting dirty but it's been that way since the beginning of time. Boys will ALWAYS be different then girls but (I will ask one more time) does that make them BAD?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?
I wouldn't change being a parent of a little boy for the world ..

I'm with you all the way, sis! I have ALWAYS said that if I could have two children and couldn't have one of each, and I could choose two boys or two girls, I would choose two boys, no questions asked (and that was before I even had a boy). Boys are boys and that's all there is to it - it's like they are born knowing how to make truck sounds and love sports! I love my little boy and wouldn't change having him for anything in the world! And by the way, I love your little boy just the way he is!
Tell people to quit talking out of their asses. Some people say the stupidest things.
I know plenty of little girls who were / are very bad.
Ok, I only know one.
Ok, yes, it's me.
I personally don't think it's so much of a gender issue but more of a personality issue. I swear that my little girl has the personality and mannerisms of a boy. She doesn't sit still, is into everything, wants to climb everything. Crayons? aren't those things to eat? I also know many boys who are very feminine. My girlfriend has the sweetest guy and when I watch them together, I long for a son.
Thanks for the support gurls .. I really needed it today! Lova ya!
