In the ever-evolving social media trends, the emergence of the “Boy Moms” movement on TikTok has been both heartwarming and transformative. Challenging traditional gender roles and societal norms, this trend empowers mothers to teach their sons essential life skills such as cooking and cleaning. They do not want their sons to expect this from their future wives or girlfriends. “Boy Moms” are paving the way for a generation that values partnership and collaboration. However, some mothers have taken this to heart, saying their intentions do not seem in everyone’s best interest. A debate has sparked between the parents of the internet.
In the old days, women were expected to manage the household while their husbands worked. This meant waking up early to prepare the kids for school, packing lunches, cleaning the house, grocery shopping, and cooking every meal. It became a chore, as opposed to collaborative living. However, as the modern world progresses, we see more people sharing these tasks. This is a huge help as both wives and husbands are working full-time.
A new trend has risen from TikTok. It is called the Boy Moms trend, which parallels the “Girl dads” trend. It all started when one TikTok user, Laura Elizabeth Graham (@lauraelizabethgraham), posted a video of her teaching her son various chores around the house. In this particular video, she was teaching him to cook. The text overlay on the clio reads, “Making sure my son can cook so he’s not impressed by your daughter’s [Stouffer’s] lasagna.”
What do you all think of this?
'...so he's not impressed by your daughter's lasagne.' Bitch, he fucking should be. My cooking is out of this world and your son should be grateful to be in receipt of the gift that is my culinary excellence.
Also, why are you so worried about whether he's impressed by my cooking? Can't stand the (totally non-existent on my part) competition? Urgh, I can't with these boymom pickmes and their pampered manbaby sons.
