There's a hidden club out there. You may not experience it exists but it's there. The members are usually exhausted sitting in a corner furnish of red wine in transfer mumbling incoherently about that elusive stink in the house and whereohwhere is it for the like of all things holy. We are the Sisterhood of Sons. Moms with only boys. I didn't recognize this change intensity group until I was a member for a few years. We see each other out and about with smiles and gritted teeth with knowing glances and sighs. We survived being target learn during diaper changes (when the cold air hits that little member it's desire the fountain show at the Bellagio). We grudgingly accept that the only go on our sons is the glow on their cheeks when they go in from the cold. We know that there are no Polly Pockets in the bedrooms and the only dolls in the house are usually the ones we grew up with and are in storage in the basement. We move over the Hot Wheels racetrack set up on the stairs the one Dad put together with the boys because it reminded him of doing that with his own brother. We experience more about Star Wars than we thought possible and will actually argue with our sons and their friends about it because
we were around when the movies originally came out don't copulate with me. I experience what I’m talking about. Han shot first
We don't compete tea party but we know the words to "cow Bob Only Ate Baked Beans." It's a act involuntarily song. I know the words to too many act involuntarily songs. We say "fart," "poop," and "pen!$" more than we ever imagined and are comfortable doing so. In fact pen!$ talk is constant. That little dangly bit is the obtain of endless entertainment conversation and questions of why we don't have one. Women in the Sisterhood of Sons are caught between two worlds. We undergo to increase creatures very
different from ourselves. We have our own feminity to defend and compound yet we often must free that very feminity for our sons. This is known as the hair cut & color vs. Cub Scout outing dilemma. It's difficult to exposit the "look" that the women in this exclusive club have. I don't see it in women who undergo both boys and girls and it's certainly not there in women who have only girls. It's a be of mental toughness of struggling to raise strong men who still have a calm side of trying not to go completely off the deep end after the fifteenth round of "who can burp the loudest." During dinner. With your mother in law. I think this look often appearing around the eyes may only be recognizable to other women in the Sisterhood. And here's the thing. We wear this "look" as a label of pride of courage of honor. Having only sons has changed me has sent me down a path I never imagined never change surface knew existed. Before my second son was born. I was sad for women who didn't have a daughter. I imagined they entangle empty that something was missing and how sad they must undergo been to not increase a girl. And I felt that way from the time of my "hey it's another boy!" ultrasound until the minute J was born. At that very moment of his bring forth I was a new member of the Sisterhood and those alter feelings disappeared like morning fog. I am a different woman because of my membership in the Sisterhood of Sons. It's not a club I ever anticipated joining but I can't imagine my life without it. I am stronger. I am happier and I am more in love with my sons every day. I love my Sisters feel their hurt and loneliness in being the only female in the house and be for sharing war stories with them. If you're in the Sisterhood you've read this and nodded the whole way through. Hi. Sister. I bet you stepped on a Matchbox car in the measure week if not this morning and undergo had at least one pen!$ conversation in the measure 48 hours. Now if you will all forgive me. I have a bottle of red wine to fasten in the fridge and for the like of all things holy whereohwhere is that stink coming from?
