Makin News Monday: Natural Parenting Vs The WORLD! Part 1
I'd been avoiding writing this post because honestly I wasn't sure I could type anything relating to this news story without hurling my computer through the lovely picture window in my living room. But after a faithful mom blogger friend of mine, Stephanie, questioned why I hadn't written about the event on my Facebook page, I decided to succumb to the rage...

Guest Post: 10 Things All Dude Moms Need to Know About Dude Mommying
I'm baaaacccckkkkk!!! Ok well not really. Let me explain....
I've been hard at work this past week on a new project that I'm SUPER excited about. I'm about to take this blogging to a whole-notha-level! In the meantime, I couldn't leave my faithful readers without a new post...soo I asked my fellow mom blogger, and MIB friend from the awesome blog parenting BY dummies, to fill in for me today.
She pretty much rocks, so please show her some Moms in Boyland love!

I’m a Dude Mom.
It’s what I call my life as the only female, erect-walking human in this house (the dog is a chick too, but this is my world and I’m gonna claim it).
Mom to three Dude sons. Wife to one Dude, um, Dude.
I never thought this would be it for me; always saw myself with a daughter to pretty up. But this is my life. And it’s awesome, so I’m embracing it. And sharing what I’ve learned about raising Dudes with other mamas on the same path.
Call me a pioneer. It’s what I call myselfeven though it’s not like I am to up my personal awesome.
I just like the sound of it: Dumb Mom Pioneer. Less awesome than the other famous pioneer, but still pretty neat.
And full of information too…
10 Things All Dude Moms Need to Know About Dude Mommying (there are actually many more, but you will have to come check out Dude Mom Life to learn all of that!)
1. Dudes are gross. But you get used to it and even might start to like it. Not a lot. But a little.
2. Dudes are NOT detail oriented. Nope, they didn’t notice that they left the front door standing wide open. And, yeah, this house does sorta look like a barn to them.
3. Dudes like noise. But not the noise you make when you lecture them. They like the kind of noise they make that sounds distinctively like a Jackie Chan action flick on red bull.
4. Dudes don’t need showers. At least they don’t think they do.
5. Dudes really do believe they are going to grow up to be super. Even some grown up Dudes aren’t convinced that they’re not. It’s okay to support this fantasy no matte how old your Dude is, it helps them be good and chivalrous and stuff.
6. Give a Dude a ball and he will break something. Teach him how to play baseball with that ball and he probably still will, but not until you have also been able to get yourself 15-30 minutes of serious quiet time alone in the house.
7. Dudes think their dads are awesome. Lucky for my Dudes they are actually right about this!
9. There are five phrases EVERY Dude Mom is intimately familiar with. So much so that you will probably even hate yourself for saying them: “Get down!”, “Stop shouting!”, “Be careful!”, “You’re going to kill yourself!” and, “That better not be blood!” Have fun remixing them. I know I do.
10. Dudes love their mamas. Even when they try to act like they don’t, or say they don’t, or embarrass you so badly that even you are certain they don’t, they do. Always and forever, amen.

8. Hugging your Dude in public is only okay if they are baby Dudes or grown up babies Dudes. Or if you don’t even care that they grimace because you are just so happy that they finally scored their first ever goal and it won the playoff game!
