As a mother of two boys I feel outgendered and outnumbered. The only female I have around the house is Isa the cat. (Even if Isa comes with Benny male cat!). I don't miss the princess dress but some female energy. What is your experience?

Yep, that is about it in a nutshell. I have two boys ages, almost 7 and 5. I just had a baby girl though in September, so I have added another female to the house. It is hard being in a male controlled world, too much testosterone I always think!
I think the biggest problem is that I am not male, therefore, can't relate to some of the male issues. My 7 year old is very sensitive, is at a new school this year and lately comes home sad that no one wants to play with him at recess. Some days they do, some days they don't. What is your experience with boys this age? I think they are so random and are all over the place, it does not seem like the boys in his class really have steady friends, they just play here and there. I am getting tired of this every day thing though...what to do?

| I have 2 boys and moved 6 months ago from Florida to Pennsylvania. My 6 yr old started Kindergarden at the new school, and is doing fine with his new friends. My 8yr old, is adjusting, but he had many friends in the Florida school most of the group of friends he had knew went to daycare together. Here in PA it is day to day as who he plays with at school. He still hasn't melded into a particular group of kids, but he definately is not unhappy, just not as popular. He has more friends in our neighborhood, he likes that he can go out after school and play with them. |

| I have three boys - 4, 2 and 5 months. I also have a step-son that is almost 16 and a step-daughter that will be 14. I haven't reached the point where I feel outnumbered yet, gender speaking, but I do feel outweighed most times - energy wise. I know it will get easier for me in a few years, but then it will be something else. I just experienced some kid pushing around my child and felt the pain in my heart...I guess kids will be kids, but as parents we will always feel the sting. The only think I can think of is to be the best support for them as we possibly can, because at least they know they can come home and get all the love and attention (most days) they need and desire. |
