Toxic “Boy Moms” and The Odd Hatred Towards Daughters 

It’s not harder to raise a girl, y’all just let your sons get away with everything so it seems that way

These moms are borderline incestuous towards their sons. It makes me uncomfortable.

Imagine being so desperate for male validation you seek it out in an infant

My hot take for why people think teen girls are full of drama is because they cause it. As soon as that first menstrual cycle hits, they do anything but sympathize with them, dismiss them, and purposely irritate them even more. the parent causes all of the drama.

I have a 3 year old daughter and my husband and I noticed when we go to play places, any time a girl does something wrong, the parent corrects the girl.. but if it’s a boy doing something wrong, 9 times out of 10 the parents don’t do or say anything to correct it. It drives me insane. Then we wonder why these boys grow up not getting along with their wife…

i find it so weird that girls moms usually just call themselves "moms" but moms with boys are "boy moms" like why do you want people to know you have a son so badly

“Let boys be boys” worst saying that I grew up with

You know what doesn't really get talked about with Boy Moms? Their relationship with their own mothers.

Some moms are jealous of their daughters.

I’m one of four girls (no boys) and the amount of times people said “oh your poor parents, wait til you’re all teenagers” growing up was endless. Meanwhile, my dad has made it clear even 25+ years later that we were great kids. The “girls are catty” and “rebellious” comments are still so infuriating to us…we never fought and didn’t cause problems. Thankful to have a father who loves having daughters 🙏🏻

I have noticed that the mindset from "girl dads" is a LOT healthier. "Boy moms" seem to have an incestuous-like obsession with their son, which is why the mother of the groom always seems to hate their new daughter-in-law. "Girl dads", like my dad, are pretty chill with their son-in-laws, as long as they treat their daughter well, they're good.

My husband was raised by a “boy mom”; and now has complex sexual/emotional incest trauma. These mothers are traumatizing their sons.

I LOVE being a girl mom. It has helped heal my feminine energy and my inner girl that had an incredibly neglectful childhood. Any woman who hates her daughter really hates herself.

Internalized misogyny in a patriarchal society🤷🏽‍♀️

As a latina girl with an older brother. He does not do ANYTHING, he is a adult and I as a teenage have to take all the responsibility with my mother, the audacity he has is unbelievable, I told my mother when I was growing up that she was being unfair and she let him get away with everything but she only realized now, and now she can't raise that child, so I have to deal with it and it is infuriating and tiring.

My dad's mom raised him to be fully independent so he would pick a wife for love, not a maid, nanny, or cook. She had three sons and never acted like these moms. And she was born in 1800s.

as the saying goes... "every child deserves parents but not all parents deserve a child."

Y’all noticed how Kim said her daughters have an attitude, so being a boy, mom is the best. Meanwhile, every time they’re in public her son flicks off the public.

My dad, before he passed, loved my sister and I so much. My mom talks about how he always wanted girls, and he said so bc his mom raised him. His father was pretty absent, so his mom raised him and his sister. He wanted to raise strong women, just like how strong his mom is. Sadly, he passed away when I was 11 (and my younger sister was 7). I will never ever forget how much he loved my sister and I, and how he would shoot down jokes abt us “being better if we were sons”. I love my dad so much, and Im so grateful that he loved us so much when he was alive.

They literally look to their sons to fulfill that emotional role that their partner should be filling. It's giving emotional incest 🤮

The way some boy moms excuse their sons bad behaviors is crazy. Their sons could be serial killers, and they would probably say something like: "My son would never, he's an angel."

Daughters are also expected to become caretakers for their parents and even for their in-laws.

As a daughter of a father who favored his sons, I get this too. My mom was actually really great about making sure she treated us equally. But my dad? So strict with me. I was basically a second mother to my siblings. I was also seen as another woman to serve him. My mom would leave on work trips and my dad wouldn’t make dinner cause “he didn’t know how” so I did it for us or else we ate McDonald’s every night. To this day, I’m not sure how my parents worked out for so long. I was glad when I heard they were getting divorced.

Just to be clear... this is the kind of mothering that creates serial killers

When I was pregnant with my second daughter I got so hateful comments. Multiple women told me they felt sorry for me and girls are too much drama 🤦🏾‍♀️. The saddest part is they would say these things in front of my 2 year old daughter. People would apologize to my husband. Everyone assumed we would keep trying for a boy. Nobody could fathom that we don’t care about gender.

I hate when in movies and tv shows when the daughter is arguing on how their brother is able to date and be out late and how it's unfair all the mom has to say is "well he can't get pregnant" like hello your son can still get someone pregnant just because he would not be carrying the child doesn't mean it's any less his responsibility as the girl who gets pregnant that argument has always been so stupid to me cause it takes two to tango.

I grew up with a toxic mom who let her son get away with everything, including assaulting me as a young teen as form of “discipline.” He went on to assault his partners. He ended up in jail for dv and my mom told him “she screwed you over.” He assaulted his mistress the week he was set to be married to another woman. He has never taken responsibility for his abusive behaviour towards me. My family started isolating me when my mother died and told me I was just too angry and I would “upset” people because they were afraid I might disclose. I felt made responsible for his shitty behaviour and for not accepting it and just playing along.

Moms hates their daughters because they see them as competitions

These toxic boy moms look to their sons as "back-up husbands." They figure if their actual husbands ever die or leave them, they can lean on their sons for support, attention, and money. I've seen it my whole life. Yes, it's gross.

My parents had planned 6 children, no gender requirements. They ended up with 4 due to medical issues. The first two were boys. Back then the birthday was the gender reveal and dads weren't allowed in the delivery room. The boys were both bald. I was the third. I was not bald. My father peaked theough a window to the delivery room. My aunt told me that he peaked through the window and saw my hair and started flapping his hands and crying and singing "I got a girl, I got a girl, I got a girl"! I was wanted.

I know a mom that just gave birth to boy/girl twins this past January. Every time I see her she fusses over her baby boy and says how happy she is to have a son. Literally every 2 seconds she picks him up, kisses him, and talks in a baby voice telling him how much she loves him. The sad thing is however, is that she barely says 2 words about her daughter or says that she loves her. When I ask about her daughter she’s like “oh yeah she’s doing great” and that’s it meanwhile with her son it’s like “omg he’s the cutest, sweetest thing.” She also gets annoyed when her daughter starts crying but when it’s her son she drops everything and is more than happy to give him what he needs. I feel so bad for her poor little girl and I hope that she grows up feeling loved. The blatant favouritism is very concerning.

My dad is a proud girl dad of 4 girls and he loves us so dearly. He always answer the question "ugh how is it being the only man in a household of 5 women?" With:"one daughter alone is worth 5 sons. I could've never asked for anything else in life". I'm happy that my mom was always so supportive of us and hated the notion that her brothers got treated better than her and her sisters and that my dad always taught us to never compromise ourselves for anyone, especially men, because we deserve to be loud, take space and take lead. Gosh I never knew how much i took this for granted until watching this video, really makes you think, yk?

Being a daughter is a thankless job Our parents talk about of crap about us and yet we still are the first to take care of them when they get old

it genuinely fascinates me that boy moms are very protective over their sons to an almost incestuous degree... if freud was still alive he'd have a field day with boy moms

I always get annoyed whenever anyone finds out I'm a youngest sibling and they say "oh, you must be the spoiled one!" Like no, I'm Latina and I have an older brother, it works completely different for us. My older sister and I were basically taught to be his mom.

I have three boys. I hate being called a "boy mom." No I'm a mom who has boys. I wanted a girl for so many different reasons. But I'm raising my son's to be men your daughters don't have to fear or heal from. That should be the goal.

I heard a quote “boys are not easy raise, they are easy to neglect”. I believe this because my mama allowed my brother to run rampant. Before he went to prison, he either stayed with her or lived with a woman. He has never had his own. She called him her husband (always weird to me) and use to insert herself in his relationships. I see she is trying that with my son. She gets jealous when he shows affection to other women besides her. she told my son “she don’t love you like me” talking about me. She said it is a joke, i said well I don’t joke like that. I cleared her up real quick. Baby my son is not going to be like one of these podcast men.

My sister dated a guy whose mother was your typical toxic boy mom. All was good until my sister and her boyfriend got engaged and moved in together and the mom became unbearable. Any time my sister and her bf planned on going out for the night the mom would call and say that she needed her son to come over for an “emergency,” which was usually just an excuse to have her son come over to the house for nothing so she would have him all to herself. Boy mom would also text my sister multiple times a day and ask her questions like “did you pack him his favorite lunch?” “Did he shower today?” “Make sure he takes his vitamins.” Also, every time she visited the apartment she would complain about how my sister didn’t clean this or that properly or that she didn’t like how the apartment was decorated. She also made several comments to my sister about her appearance and the way she dressed, and if my sister and her boyfriend were going clothes shopping, she would insist on coming with so she could pick out her adult baby boy’s clothes. Because of the way my sisters boyfriend was spoiled by his mother, he often acted like a narcissistic, entitled man child and always make up excuses for his mothers behavior and compare my sister to his mother. The final straw was when my sister was really sick with pneumonia and her boyfriend demanded that she make him dinner, despite being really sick and not in the shape to do it. He had a complete meltdown because my sister wouldn’t cook for him when she was basically bedridden and of course he ended up calling his mom, who rushed over and berated my sister for not taking care of her precious baby boy. I am so glad my sister broke free of that extremely toxic relationship, and these mothers really damage their sons by treating them this way as they will be entitled little boys for the rest of their lives that will always need a woman to take care of them because they were too coddled to be independent. Not to mention, they also emotionally traumatize their daughters as shown in this video and make their daughter in laws lives a living hell.

My grandmother is a hardcore toxic boy mom. My mom is 50 years old but whenever I look at her I keep seeing that little girl who was hurt by her own mother so many times just because she was a daughter, not a son. This breaks my heart because my mom worked so hard on making me and my brother to feel loved equally. Thanks to my parents, my brother and I grow up to be best friends and we have a very healthy communication. On the other hand, I hate my grandmother for what she did to my mom. She raised a over priviliged, spoilt man child, and left a heart broken daughter to raise herself. My grandmother is a monster

My father always said he never wanted sons. He had three daughters and went to all our events. He was cheering at all the soccer games, plays,choir concerts, and even dressed in a tutu to dance with me for my ballet recital when I was five.

My mom was a toxic boy mom, my brother used to hit me and throw tantrums when he didn’t get what he wanted, she would barely punish him and would just tell me to “walk it off”. I remember once in middle school, my bus didn’t show up to take me to school. I was scared, I called my mom and she refused to pick me up because she was getting my brother McDonald’s for breakfast. I had to walk to school. The cherry on top is that I got a tardy for showing up to school late.

Another thing I've seen is that when parents get older, the daughters are the ones who help and take care of their aging parents, while sons rarely do, and parents make excuses for their sons while expecting sacrifices from their daughters.

I wanna talk about the pick me girl to boy mom to monster in law pipeline

if we go in with the mindset that “girls are more drama and more difficult, and boys are just easier,” it becomes self-fulfilling prophecy.

Fun fact: Oedipus actually doesn’t really relate to the principle named after him. In the story, it was prophesied that he would marry his mother, and in an attempt to prevent this, his parents had someone else raise him far away. Oedipus never knew his biological parents. Sure enough, in adulthood there was an incident where he accidentally killed his biological dad in an accident, and later ended up falling for his wife (which neither of them knew was his mom). After they had married, it was revealed that the prophesy had come true, and his mom hanged herself and Oedipus gouged out his eyes in shame. So it’s really quite different!

As a proud girl mom it devestates me when i hear parents arent thrilled they have a daughter. It makes me want to scoop all the bb girls up and give them all the love, snuggles and support they deserve.

Something my husband and I have talked about is making sure we have a system of checking each other if the other is unknowingly showing preference, different expectations, etc. We're hoping we can raise them equally and that they feel loved equally.

That one woman with the 3 daughters and 1 son---I hope none of them talk to her in her old age. Seriously.

okay, but i was the most docile, boot-licking, children-raising (I raised all my siblings, even the older ones) teenager but my mom was still extra mean to me. I never rebelled a day in my life but I was still the my mom's literal (and not) punching bag. We did talk it out when I reached adulthood but it still hurts looking back this video really hit me in the face. it's a lot of black girls going through this. But now look at who's their pride VS who's their problem and still living at home and heavily dependent on them though they're 4+ years older than me? Take a wild guess

I am the complete opposite… I am actually a bit terrified to have a son, because I would have to do extra work, so he doesn’t end up violent, dependent on drugs and porn, suicidal, homicidal, etc… I know these can affect women too, but men are still more prevalent in the statistics of abuse, sexual assault and other horrible stuff. Also a lot more men isolate themselves to the point of insanity.

I was a 'boy mom' until five years ago when I got the call that my fifth baby would be my long-awaited daughter. I was in the middle of walmart grocery shopping, and I just sat down in the middle of the aisle to cry. I was so happy. I love each of my boys but my second was supposed to be a girl. It wasn't until my 38 week ultrasound that I found out that I was having another boy so when the blood test came back with a definitive girl I was ecstatic. She is my princess and simultaneously tougher than all her brothers put together.

Man, it just sounds so nice to hear a dad say he was proud to be a girl dad. I just hear so many soon-to-be dads getting upset about their reveal when it's a girl.... It's just nice to see dads celebrate having daughters.

I am 100% a mommy's girl. I'm 20 years old and still call her mommy and hold her hand everywhere we go. Even in my "rebellious" teenage years where I was going through severe mental health problems and having meltdowns on a near daily basis, my mom always listened to me and treated me with love and empathy. She's the reason I'm still alive, and for the rest of our lives I will always make sure she has a roof over her head, food in her stomach, and a warm bed to sleep in. It's so heartbreaking to see mothers hating their daughters like this and the overall disregard that society seems to have for mother/daughter relationships. Fingers crossed that I have a baby girl someday, although if I had a son I'd love him just as much ❤

I unknowingly married an extreme mama's boy. I was treated very well by both when dating. A week after the honeymoon she came to our house when I was out and pushed my belongings into closets. Despite my standing up for myself, It only got worse. Her wishes were the priority and he allowed her to change or make plans without asking me. I was blamed for not loving her enough. The verbal abuse began to very gradually turn into physical abuse that mostly were fights about her. Towards the end of the marriage he said even if we moved he would make sure she would live with us - no escaping her. Therapy didn't work, and I left him.....but, that witch successfully ruined my marriage. I often wondered if her adoration of him had ever been SA.🤮. Her husband was a successful engineering nerd that ignored her and I'm sure now she felt married to my husband. She groomed him since birth.

my mom hated me so much as a young girl, I still cry thinking about how much she hated me. She was willing to take in my dads older son that wasn't her own and treat him better than me, even after he hurt me and her.

I have two older brothers. I was far more critizised than them, had to learn more about household chores and had more expectations put on my shoulders.

And as a black daughter, I am trying hard to not repeat these same patterns with my own. It is so deeply rooted and engrained in every fiber of our relationships. It’s tough.

I’m a mum to a boy and boy mums absolutely terrify and horrify me. Like it’s so weird how they treat their sons, they’re set up for failure

Boy mom: you know girls, they have an attitude 🙄 Son: *shows her the middle finger* Boy mom: so cute! I wuv you 🥰

Let’s face it. What these types of so-called “mothers” are doing against their sons is straight up inappropriate, incestuous, and disgusting. and the way they treat their daughters is atrocious and horrible.

Can we also talk about the woman who sees having a daughter as a "mini me" or "best friend" they think having a daughter is all going to target with mom and drinking Starbucks or just as an accessory to dress up

As a Latina, the phenomenon of toxic boy moms has been a big problem in our community for centuries. Latine moms have been allowing their boys to get away with near murder while forcing girls to get premature independence. We need to do better, and work towards accountability and dissolution of internalized misogyny.

30:06 My grandmother has this stance of “well I had to look after my younger siblings when I was a teenager and I turned out just fine” and she also wonders why my mom (her eldest) seems to hate her. Growing up I remember constantly hearing my grandmother criticizing my mom for every little thing and praising my aunts for every achievement. It’s like my mom was nothing but a disappointment to her.

I miss when "boy mom " meant a mother of boys 😔

I can’t get the whole boy mom deal. I have a boy, wouldn’t trade him for the world, still can’t get it. We just hope to raise a good person who will respect those around him and cherish whoever he chooses to spend his life with. Your son is your son. He’s not an emotional replacement for a grown adult partner. The goal is to raise a decent human being who’s suppose to be a better person than you are. Really that goes for children in general.

The clip about Kobe always makes me cry. As someone who never felt good enough for their dad, it makes me so emotional to see men so proud of their daughters. He was such a stand-up guy. RIP

in most families with both boys and girls, sons are loved and daughters are raised

My older sister rebelled HARD, and she was 18 years older than me. Dropped out of school, did all of the drugs, got a Harley, disappeared for ages, dumped a fiancé when she decided she was gay, all of the mess. So my mother was prepared for me to be a hellion, but I was a quiet autistic daughter who loved art, nature, and horses and dogs (and my older sister, who was the best person ever because she would kidnap me and hide me from my mom for days or weeks every so often). I got straight A's, I held a job from age 14 onwards, I had great friends, and I never had a boyfriend (hey, I'm gay, too). But I was in trouble *constantly.* If I stayed late at the stables, I was grounded for a month, because I was probably off drinking somewhere and making IEDs in the woods and organizing the next gathering of my violent Satanic cult. 🙄

I’ve seen too many friends with moms who doted on their sons and made their daughters feel less than. The moms came down on the girls, but never disciplined the boys, got them out of things, always gave money to them, and played favorites. If the girls need something the mother is nowhere to be found, but if the boys need something the moms give to the point of having nothing left; daughters who have any assets “should help out their brother”. It’s sick. The girls lack self-esteem, spend years in therapy, and have an emptiness that can never be filled. If you’re going to play favorites with your children PLEASE DO NOT HAVE THEM!! Don’t do it with pets either.

People stay repeating how “easy” boys are. But the statistics are saying otherwise. Somebody’s lying. 🌚 Anyway, my mom put my older sister in the position to be the second mom. She was made responsible for taking care of us while my mom worked. Now, my mom resents my sister for her skills at managing us and because of how close we are to her. We listen to her more than we listen to my mom because she’s earned that respect. Mothers really don’t get it. You can’t get mad at your daughters (or your sons) for being what you raised them to be. Reminds me of that old documentary about mothers in China who were exhausted and desperate for a daughter-in-law because they had nobody to share the household work with. But they were the same ones who didn’t want daughters. Lol

My mom prefers my brother to me and treated him way better and she's doing the same to my kids and prefers my son to my daughter and acts surprised that my daughter prefers my husband's family.

The fact im slowly realizing this about my mom is mind boggling

Can we also talk about favoritism when it comes to younger siblings/younger child

“He hits his sisters. He punches them. I just think oh maybe he’s just having a hard day.” O…M…G… Yikes…

I saw this all my life with my twin brother. He didn’t do anything with his life and has accolades in the family for just being a boy. I had to get married in order to be noticed after I made the dean’s list, and only my husband’s accomplishments are recognized as I can’t possibly be better than any male.

my ex used to say “you’re the most beautiful girl in the world, besides my mom of course.” they STILL LIVE TOGETHER

my husband and i both hyphenated our names to share each others last names and anytime i tell people mainly men, they always insinuate he's less of a man because of it and it boils my blood

I also think a lot of these women are treating their daughters worse because they still have trauma from the relationship with their own mothers. Either they don't know how to show love or are afraid in some way to get close due to a fear of future rejection. Not realizing the mistreatment now is what will ultimately cause the rejection later on. It's something I personally struggle with but I remind myself every day that my daughter deserves everything in life that I missed. She is not to blame for my personal feelings or my mothers abuse. My daughter deserves the world! And a healthy happy mother!

The fact that in greej mythology Jocasta killed herself after realizing Oedipus was her son, just for her to be named after the incestual-like relationship a mother feels towards her son is insane

I am an all girl mom and an oldest daughter/child who was put into the role of taking care of my younger sibling and had so many restrictions while my brother got to do anything he wanted.

The whole thing is weird. I just wanted a healthy baby. I have 3 boys, people assume I'm a “boy mom”. I'm a mom who just happened to give birth to only boys. I definitely wanted a daughter but it just never happened.

I admit when I was pregnant, I hoped for a boy, but only because I felt if I had a boy that my baby's father would be more interested in our child (which was not accurate, I think, anyway) but once I found out I was having a girl, it awakened something in me that I did not know was there, I rushed out to buy clothes for her and started thinking about girl names, etc. Once she was born, I found out what true love is - willing the good of another, putting someone else before yourself. I would never trade my daughter for anything in the world and I was just happy my baby was healthy. She was and still is a beautiful, perfect blessing from God!

Kim Kardashian complaining about how her daughters have an attitude, yet it’s no mystery where they get their supposed attitude from💀

My older sister was essentially our mother figure. She cooked for us, mostly but our mom just never gave us attention. When she got off, she’d go in her room and shut and lock the door. In a house full of girls, our brother had no male guidance, so he flocked to any guys in our neighborhood, make friends with them, and spent all his time at their houses. I could honestly say our mom played no favorites and she ignored us equally.

I am disgusted by mothers like this! My grandmother always wanted to have daughters lol, but instead got three sons and three grandsons. She loves us all though, but now she has a granddaughter and she loves her to death and she’s so special to her. Seeing how happy my grandmother was when she find out she was going to have a granddaughter was so amazing for me. She’s never seen any of her daughter in laws as competition

This topic is so traumatic for me bc my mom is my biggest hater and she tries to dress it up like she isnt. Its hurtful bc it was never like this until she created a storm of poor decisions involving men in her life. Often choosing men over her kids. Now, im grown with 2 sons and cant wait for God to bless me with a daughter. Bc i will never make the mistakes my mother has.

Though I feel less alone reading all these stories, it’s really sad reading all these stories.

the amount of times I've had to advocate for the value of a girl child in a room full of women is insane. once one of my coworkers was expecting and the entire office SIGHED IN RELIEF when she revealed it was going to be a boy! the woman there who had a daughter said "ugh you're lucky"!!!!!!!! like hello????????? my father has two daughters, that is it, and I assure you he's not lamenting his wasted legacy. he has a perfectly fulfilling life, and he's a wonderful dad! jesus wept.

As a mom of 2 daughters I’m genuinely glad I didn’t have sons. My husband is a mamas boy and that’s hard to break. As they say “daughters are yours for life while boys are yours until they find a wife”

As a girlfriend of a man whose mother is a “boy mom” I can say it’s extremely degrading. Their inability to follow basic boundaries is honestly gross. …like are you trying to date your son?

also the complete lack of understanding of the fact that a teen daughter is cycling through SO many emotions. she’s experiencing her first few cycles, it’s hell. and they don’t give their daughters enough grace

My first child (who is now 30), is a boy, and he was VERY difficult. I'm glad things have improved for him now, and we are now very close, but it was ROUGH. When I got pregnant again, I wanted another boy because I remembered what a nightmare I was as a teenage girl. Well, I had a girl who just turned 18, and I am SO happy. She's one of my very favorite people.

This is weird to me...I have 5 children (boy, boy, girl, boy, girl). I could never image competiting with my oldest son's girlfriend (or my other sons future girlfriends) nor have I considered treating my boys better that my daughters. I originally wanted boys (because I grew up hanging around boys) but I am so happy to have all 5 of my children...they're the best gifts my hubby & I have ever rec'd!

I was terrified to have a child in general but the stuff I’ve experienced as a Women made me even more scared to have a girl so naturally I wanted a boy.. but baby when I found out I was having a girl I literally couldn’t stop screaming and the way I went and bought 29373 bows and tutu 😂 everybody was confused with my reaction and thought I was going to be upset it was a girl. I immediately thought about how special my bond is with my mom 🥺 Raising my daughter has been so healing to my inner child and so inspiring to be a greater woman as an example for her. I would absolutely love to just have another healthy child girl or boy my babies will all be loved the same!

You hit so many points!! This is even more prominent in certain cultures (I’m Indian so yes it’s all of this times 10). The most problematic thing is that they raise their sons to have more authority and no accountability. More authority as in their decisions are accepted, their opinions are sought out and highly regarded but no accountability because they never ever have to face the consequences of their actions. This makes it so hard for them to function in society as a husband, an employee, or just a general human being. And then the daughters are stuck being caretakers forever for overgrown children as their husbands and their in laws and own parents.

I love that Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the longest serving monarch, denounced the ruling about boys being hiers when Princess Catherine was pregnant with her first child so that if she had a girl that girl would be the hier and never demoted if future children were male ❤

I’m the only girl of 5 children and both of my parents very obviously loved my brothers more. I’m 27 and they still don’t hide it. I was the second oldest and I always had to babysit the kids, including my cousins, and help around the house and with dinner. My older brother always got to go play with his friends and do whatever he pleased. He got to go out and party on the weekends but I couldn’t even go to my friend’s house to bake cookies and watch movies because “I could get pregnant.” At my 14 year old bestie’s house?? Please. My dad also REALLY wanted us to play hockey. None of the boys wanted to but even though I really wanted to for years I was never allowed to. He was so happy when finally one of them decided to do it and that kid quickly became the favourite. I’ll never forgive them. And if my future husband favours our sons more, boy bye.

32:40 Latina here and that is 100% true. The women in my family protect them. That person also kissed me last summer and when I told my mother and grandmother they still let him live here. I was just crying about this earlier on this snowed in day. It sucks being uncomfortable in my own home.

This whole situation is so crazy to me. My mom has always told me she’s glad she had 2 girls, because she thinks that if she’d had a boy or boys there was a chance she’d have to drive us back and forth to sports practices. I personally think that I’d still not be remotely interested in sports if I’d popped out as a boy, but who knows lmao. I’m just so grateful I wasn’t raised by a “boy mom,” or a mom who raised me with the expectation that I’d grow up to have a bad attitude and be catty just bc I have two X chromosomes instead of an X and a Y. 💀

It’s the old trope of the devouring mother obsessing over their sons to their detriment. A tale as old as time
