2024-11-03 17:48:22 +0000 UTCJust listened to this so assuming no way Dr Kirk will see this but were you trying to recall Annie Lennox/Eurythmics (sp?)-1980s Scottish band? I’m in Seattle hear them played a lot.

2024-07-20 21:45:04 +0000 UTCI am so happy to hear someone reference the 80s I have in my heart. I absolutely die inside every time I see an 80s themed party and it’s the neon, jazzersize. Which somehow doesn’t change much from 90s themed parties. Which also makes me die inside. 😂 And I was born in ‘87

2024-06-20 14:21:33 +0000 UTCI am a mom of boys but not a “boy mom”. One of the other problematic aspects is when the excuse “boys will be boys” comes into play. Some moms dismiss problematic behavior because they’re “just boys”. I struggle with this because I consider myself a “gentle parent” or as I call it an emotionally aware parent. However my husband is quite the opposite. He believes boys punching each other, calling names, and just being rude to each other is just “part of being a boy”. Whereas I like to have a conversation about why my boys are upset and how to communicate instead of punching each other. He thinks I’m doing too much and need to let them be boys. I see this narrative carried over into the “boy mom” culture. Instead of emotionally supporting and raising emotionally aware boys they chalk it up to that’s just how boys have been and should be. When there are “boy moms” out there supporting that idea, it further complicates the issue or raising boys who are emotionally aware.

2024-06-14 18:48:00 +0000 UTC"KLF is gonna rock ya", not EMF.... What a lovely trip down memory lane for gen x music nerd as myself. Like you guys, I based a lot of my identity on my taste in alternative music. My niese said "how lucky you were to be young in the 90s!", with a wistfulness I remember feelingen when I met and old person who'd experienced the 70's..m

2024-06-14 15:30:45 +0000 UTCAt least my experience with "Boy Mom" on the internet was not representative of what y'all were looking at and talking about. I think y'all looked at a subset of the "boy mom" internet subculture. The trend I've seen was similar to "mom's of boy's" but meme's and commentary about typical boy behavior/gender stereotypes. Like "boy mom is getting dirty playing with your son because they like to roughhouse in the yard", or something. Gender esssentialism/stereotypes aside, it didn't have all of the aspects y'all talked about.

2024-06-13 20:50:07 +0000 UTCHiii 10 year loyal listener here ☺️☺️ but I must say about the boy mom thing… the boy mom thing isn’t about people being uncomfortable with closeness (kissing kids on the lips, emotional closeness etc) between the mother and son, it’s about the mom feeling ownership over her child’s romantic life. And that’s weird…. I’m sure people also try to criticize healthy closeness, but those specific types of TikToks are straight up glorifying parentification in the emotional incest way
