Pregnancy and Motherhood - 10 Things You Will Learn as a Mom of a Boy

If you are pregnant, are you concerned that you are not going to know what to do with a boy? The good news is that you will learn these things along with him and you will become interested in whatever excites him. Read on to discover 10 things that you will learn as the mother of a boy.

1. You will learn the difference between a bulldozer and a backhoe

Before I had a son, I did not know the difference between any construction vehicles. To me, they were all bulldozers. Now I can identify bulldozers, backhoes, road graders, front loaders and more.

2. You will learn to explain why you do not potty standing up.

Regardless of the number of times that I have explained the anatomical differences between boys and girls, my three-year-old son still does not understand why I do not stand up to go potty. He encourages me just to try it.

3. You will know all the characters from Thomas the Tank Engine

Thomas the Tank Engine seems to have a universal appeal for children, especially boys. I did not even know who Thomas the Tank Engine was before my son was born. Now I can name most of the characters.

4. You will know how to build a robot from Legos

When my son sees the pictures on Legos, he want me to help him build it. It is amazing what all I have learned to build from Legos.

5. You will learn how to wrestle

Boys love to wrestle, so as a mom you get down and wrestle with them. I never imagined myself wrestling on the floor. It is amazing what you do as a mom.

6. You will be able to sing all the words to "Bob the Builder"

You know how a song gets stuck in your head? I do not know how many times the words "Can we build it? Yes, we can!" go through my head every day.

7. You will get excited to see construction sites

I never paid attention to construction sites in the past. Now I get excited about them so I can show them to my son.

8. Your commode lid will be left up

Why is it so hard to train them to put down the lid?

9. You will get excited about ball games

You may have never thought ball games were exciting until your son started playing.

10. You will learn to enjoy Nascar racing

As a mom, you learn to enjoy whatever your kids like. If your son is into Nascar racing, then you start to watch it with him. After a while, you start to enjoy it.

Boys are fun

I never knew how much fun boys were until I had my son. After all, my brothers were never this great. However, many moms get so caught in their children that they forget that they also have a husband. Remember to pay attention to all the boys in your home, including the grown one. If not, eventually your marriage will suffer.

Are They Really Ruining America? A Look a Single Mom Motherhood

Recently, there was a headline that hit the Associated Press and it was plastered all over the Online Media Outlets; "Are Single Mom's Ruining America?" The statistics are quite stunning over the last few decades, as nearly 70% of children are born out of wedlock. The teenage mom birthrates are alarming as well. These situations are hard on government services and they increase costs, thus it is reflected in the public taxes. Those who argue that single moms are ruining America have some good data to back them up and juvenile delinquency is also way up, which they say is a factor of single motherhood. What can be done, should we blame the single moms or should we blame fathers who disappear? The statistics seem to indicate that if you are going to blame someone, you would need to blame both the deadbeat dads and the moms as well. Some women just do not want the father around, as they do not want to have two children to look after. Some cannot fathom a father helping to cr...

Parenting Lessons Learned From a Piece of Pink Cake

Yesterday was a definite eye opening day. It was the first day back from summer of a mother's group I attend at church. You could sense the excitement in the air of catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. Then it hit me, this would be the first year I would be attending without my oldest daughter. For five years, we had attended together. There would be no more chasing my daughter up the lobby stairs to catch her before she independently went to her classroom. There would be no more midday surprise lunches after my group, or meeting up with friends at the park afterwards. It had all been replaced with growing up and pre-kindergarten. So I did what any other self respecting and grief stricken mother would do: I went and picked up my daughter early from school and took her out to lunch one final time! Sure, she missed some academics, but then it was only the letter M. And well, she already had a handle on that. We went to one of our favorite restaurants. We laughed and cha...

Mother's Day - Should You Send a Card to Your Baby's Momma?

I cannot believe it's May already. So we all know what that means, time for Mother's Day to roll around again. Buying a gift and sending a card to your own mother goes without saying. But how about sending cards to the other mother's you know? And should you send a card to your baby's momma? What if you have drama going on there? Let's take a brief look at how Mother's Day came to be. I figured this holiday was just another one drummed up by the greeting card and national restaurant industries, but there is a history behind this Sunday celebration. Worldwide it can be dated back as early as ancient Greece. It was celebrated with festivals in honor of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods and Cybele the Earth Mother, in Greek mythology. Across the globe it is observed at different times of the year. In U.S. history, Mother's Day dates back to the 1870's when Julia Ward Howe wrote the Mother's Day Proclamation as a call for peace and disarmament. In 1914, Presi...
