Why the “Boy Mom” Label Feels Limiting for Me

Lately, I’ve noticed how often the phrase “boy mom” pops up in conversations, social media, and even parenting groups. Honestly, I’m exhausted by it. While I understand the intention behind celebrating the unique joys and challenges of raising boys, I sometimes feel boxed in by the label. My experience as a parent is so much more than just the gender of my child. I want to connect with other parents about the messy, beautiful, and sometimes chaotic journey of raising kids—regardless of whether they’re boys or girls. Does anyone else feel like these labels can be a little too confining? Let’s talk about the real heart of parenting, beyond the hashtags.
