So my oldest Samuel is 15 and right now things are such a hassle with him.. He’s just such a BOY.. All he wants to do is go hunting and mudding with his daddy of go hanging out with " the boys " playing football with no pads. Getting him to wear anything outside blue jeans , sweats and graphics shirts ,,to care more about his grades then he does making varsity, or to actually clean up after himself is a chore. God forbid I try teaching him any manners. His dad is practically no help in that regard. He’s from rural Louisiana with all that boys wil be boys crap.
We got into an argument yesterday about how Samuel never brings his dirty clothes or gym stuff to the laundry room so I can wash it and this was 100th time getting his crusty underwear from under his bed. My adoring husband just goes on and on about thats just how stereotypical boys are and I need to just let it be. I got mad and said he doesn’t have to be a " stereotypical boy" he could do better if his dad showed him better and I kinda blurted out that Samuel is also gay so clearly not so stereotypical. Before you ask yes hes Out so I didnt out Samuel or anything. I didn’t know he waa still home and Samuel overheard us arguing and definitely overheard that last remark because he came bursting out of his room upset asking what I meant by that and that he wasn’t less of a guy. I tried to explain that that wasnt what I meant but he just got all huffy and said he was going to his friends and left. I’d never seen him that upset. He came home later that day and I tried to talk to him about again but he just practically ran to his room still upset and didn’t even come out for dinner and I made his favorite. Of course my husband chimes in and tells I should watch what I say and just let him be a boy
