"Do You Have A Tomboy?"

"M.O.M"

Mind Of Motherhood

This is Molly Beth.

My 7 year old daughter. My "ONLY" daughter!! She is sassy. She is strong willed and stubborn, but she has to be when living in a house with three brothers. Being the only girl in the family does not always mean that she gets special treatment by mom and dad. It is a combination of a blessing and a curse. It means being called tomboy and hours later a princess. Nothing ever seems peaceful to her when her brothers are around. They are always making fun. Jumping out and scaring her. They call her names. They love to annoy everyone. Over the years she has learned to evolve to keep up with them in anyway she can. Tomboys don't want to be a boys, they just want to keep up with them. and be treated equal while being  girl.

 Anything a boy can do she said she can do.

Like dressing up as a transformer for Halloween. Adding her own touch because she is her own person. She likes what she likes. Who am I to tell her no, she cant because she is a girl. Empower your tomboy in the way she expresses herself, through her physical attributes.

Even playing FOOTBALL!!! The boys were so aggravated that a girl was playing with them. (as you see in the picture) They don’t want to be boys, they just want the same opportunities to the fun games that boys are automatically given just because they are a boy.

Yes, I said football. My only daughter plays football. I questioned myself on if I should let her play or not. She said it wasn't fair that the boys got to. Momma gave in. Momma let her make her own choice.

Not only did she play. She won the CCFFL super bowl. She beat her own brothers in football. 1ST place!! She is really just one of the boys.

She does get to dress up baby brother every once and a while. ;)

Let them choose. Let them be kids. Let them have the same right as any other kids, regardless of their gender. Girls just wanna have fun also!!
