“Here’s what I’ve learned about raising boys… if you keep ’em busy, they’re fine. You let ’em get bored, they’ll dismantle your house board by board.” – Kenny Rogers
“A small son can charm himself into, and out of, most things.” – Jenny de Vries
As a mom and someone who has worked with children for many years, I have seen my share of little boys charming their way out of sticky situations. Boys can be quite endearing when they want to be, that’s for sure.
I’ve rounded up some funny and relatable quips from boy moms to share with you…enjoy!
#1 Yup, that’s where it will end up!
my son asked for a new hoodie for Christmas, so for convenience and to save time I'm having it shipped directly to his girlfriend's house

#2 Ok, they win…
Me: My daughters are fighting non stop this summer.
— Simon Holland (@simoncholland) July 19, 2022
Parent with sons: My boys tore off our garage door yesterday and painted 1/5 of our house orange.
#3 No need for chit-chat…
My son on why Caleb is his best friend at kindergarten: "He doesn't really speak English, so we can skip all the talking and just get right to the karate."

#4 Little entrepreneur…
My 9yo son as I dropped him off at school, "time to make some money!" Apparently he's selling his Halloween candy to the kids who aren't allowed to have candy at home.

#5 Oh, I miss that baby smell…
Moms of little boys — go ahead and soak up that sweet baby boy smell, because in a few years his feet will stink so badly you'll pull the car over, convinced there's a rotting raccoon carcass in it.

#6 Yay…no laundry!
Discovered that when 10yo boys go on a school trip for 3 days, there’s no laundry when they come back because they’re unaware they can actually change their clothes

#7 Guess Hal better listen LOL…
Last night, my 3 year old kicked me during a tantrum. As I tucked him in bed later, he apologized. "I'll never kick you again," he said, pulling me in closer and kissing my cheek. "Just do exactly what I tell you to do and I'll never have to kick you again." My son is a mobster.

#8 Ouch LOL…
Son: Mom you look like you're 20 …
— Deva Dalporto (@mylifesuckers) July 11, 2016
Me: Awwwww
Son: … thousand years old.
#9 Sounds about right…
— Sarcastic Mommy (@sarcasticmommy4) November 3, 2021What’s it like having 4 boys?
My son just threw a waffle into the ceiling fan so he could see what would happen, with all of his brothers cheering him on.
Send help.
#10 And Legos…
Congratulations on your new baby boy! You will be finding Nerf bullets in strange places for the next 20 years.

#11 Lots of fun surprises everywhere with boys…
Raising boys means checking under your pillow before you go to bed every night to make sure they didn’t hide their toy snake there again.

#12 Smells about right!
According to my teenage sons the appropriate number of squirts of Axe Body Spray is somewhere between 38 and 579.

#14 My thoughts are with you both…
Please pray for my son as he was recently asked to try on a pair of dress shoes.

My son when I tell him to smile vs when I yell out “poop!” pic.twitter.com/ui6TuPOaC5

#16 LOL…
My son interrupted my phone call to tell me that he was going to die of boredom. I informed him that was impossible since I'm still alive after listening to him talk about Minecraft for the last 5 years.

#17 Busted…
I’ve been trying to figure out which of the boys in our home is causing the bathroom mess. The mystery was solved when my 9yr old just bragged to us about how he can pee with his eyes shut.

#18 Every boy mom knows what it feels like to step on a Lego…
Good luck robbing my house. My home security system is LEGOs on the floor.

#19 Well, maybe you won’t miss THAT part LOL…
You're going to miss this, I whisper to myself as I'm shot in the butt with a nerf gun while unclogging the toilet.

#20 Future engineer perhaps…
My son just woke up from his nap SOBBING and I asked what was the matter and he said, still crying, “I love trains.”

Me: I have a 12ft ceiling in my living room and there’s chili on it
#22 LOL…
I follow a mom on Instagram who has five boys just to see if she survives

#23 So true…
Boy moms are the best because I’ll be like “my boy is out of control sometimes” and they’ll be like “my boy tore down a whole wall in our house” and it always makes me feel better.
— WTFDAD (@daddydoubts) September 4, 2019
#24 One of the great mysteries of life…
If I can pee into a tiny cup at the doctor’s office that I have to hold myself, why can’t boys pee into a giant bowl bolted to the floor?
— Mommy Needs A Life (@mom_needsalife) September 11, 2022
#25 I honestly don’t know which is worse!
My wife teaches 8th grade, which means half the boys haven’t discovered deodorant yet and the other half have discovered Axe Body Spray
