being a boy mom means walking the VERY fine line between being too lenient and too controlling. u can raise him ti be the kindest person, a huge feminist, and lose all of that to his teenage years it is SO important than we all sit down now and think about how to walk that tightrope… how to guide them well but make sure they dont resent you later and become the exact opposite of what u taught them
