@davinambaynes: Growing up “boys will be boys” was used as an excuse for the poor behavior of boys/men rather than correcting what needed to be corrected. Now that I’m raising two boys who will become men they will not be excused with “boys will be boys”. This video is what I believe “boys will be boys” truly means. Harmless play. #boyswillbeboys #toddlermom #boymom #sahm #raisingboys
I hate the phrase "boys will be boys" in general. We don't say things are one gender or another at my house. We would say "kids will be kids". There are no "boy things" or "girl things".

Right when I say boys will be boys I mean my son will dig In the mud, he will climb the tree, he will find the sharpest rock on the shore to scale, he will jump in every puddle, he will rip a whole in the knee of every pants he owns he will scuff his brand new shoes riding his scooter and he will most definitely chip his adult tooth trying to jump a curb on his mountain bike!

Thisss is 100% yes!! Like boys will be messy and climb stuff. But boys will grow into men, and our boys/future men WILL be good, respectful men

This! My toddler will play in the rain in his diaper and yell at me for wanting him to put clothes on. But what he will not do, is be disrespectful or abuse others.

Me saying this when our 3 year old flies off the bed onto his little brothers head and realizing so many people have misused the saying. Glad we are clarifying this saying so the good moms don’t have to feel bad using it!

Can’t wait till I have kids and they don’t learn this phrase. My brother and my father were raised on this phrase. They’re the reason I lost my virginity when I was four.

As a mom of 2 boys. I hate this phrase. It is used as an excuse. Yes boys are loud, messy, and a bit crazy, but they still need to learn to behave.

Boys will be boys is reserved for harmless fun. What boys will be boys WON'T excuse in my house is disrespect, abuse or violence.
