Boys rock!

I don't give parenting advice, those of you who know me and my children can probably understand why!

However, if I were to give parenting advice, here is my best gem for parents of boys:

NEVER take parenting advice from someone who doesn't have boys.

Stand there and listen and smile politely, but in your mind picture yourself holding your fingers in your ears and repeating "I can't hear you, I can't hear you."

Then go give your boy(s) a big 'ole mama hug. Boys are messy and boys like to pretend to shot things and sometimes they use tools when and where they shouldn't (at least one of mine does!). But they are some kind of cute and some kind of sweet and it is OK that they don't always act like girls. Boys rock!
