My latest at New Jersey Moms Blog:
I don’t understand the male mind.
I have two boys and two girls. My girls I get, I know where they are coming from, we are connected in the sisterhood of femaleness. When Susan wants to be alone, doesn’t want me to see what she’s writing or wants the kitchen free to make coffee cake without me watching, I get it. When her little sister cuddles her baby doll and stuffed animals, carrying them around the house as their mommy, I understand that too. I see myself in their actions.
But do I relate to my boys? Not so much. Boys are a mystery. The thought processes leading them into their crazy tricks- where does it come from?
To read the rest of the post follow this link. If you have boys, I’d love to read your comments.

That’s funny, my aunt had two boys and two girls and she found that the girls were way harder to understand. She always said that the boys would fight and then just duke it out, but the girls would fight, and then came the drama.
I suppose, that girls are more willing to express their emotions, where as boys HAVE emotions, but are afraid to share.

The fighting and teasing I get. It’s the OTHER craziness that makes me… crazy.
So far my 10 yr. old tween girl can be a drama queen, but only in response to chores. If I ask her to do nothing, she’s fine. Oy! Kids.
I’ve been pretty blessed with my 8 yr old son. I don’t totally understand him, but so far he has come to me with many subjects my daughter was never willing to share. He’s very open to ask us questions about sex, love and marriage. Pls know I am not boasting. My daughter is 20 years old and she’s just now willing to share her thoughts & feelings on these subjects. o_O
*Hugs* Monica!!! Love your blog!!! =)
