Boys are amazing! Boys are ridiculously sweet! They're thoughtful, considerate, tender, and charming. At 1, 3, 5, and 7, they still like to snuggle, and they still need to cry.
They're good at being delicate and slow. They can funnel their creative passions and focus, sometimes for very long periods of time. Even now they're learning to nurture, and they're great with babies and smaller children.
These traits are not specific to my boys.
I'm tired of boys getting a bad reputation. You wouldn't believe the amount of sympathy that I receive when people see me out and about with five (gasp) boys. They're just about brought to their knees when I say "No, we're not trying for a girl. We like boys."
That's not to say anything less of girls. I am one. I was raised with and helped raise 3 girls. They're equally wonderful!
Let's cut the crap people! Children are what you make them and allow them to be and become (for better or worse).
Boys are no exception. If you don't like your pudding. Change your recipe.
