Moms of Boys

Did you know boys actually hear less than girls? According to one study boys hear better from one ear while girls hear equally well with boys ears. That's why we always have to repeat everything we say!

So is that why when you marry your husband he should be tech. declared deaf? Now, I understand. Where did you find this information, it should be posted everywhere for all wives to see, they may feel better when they aren't being heard. Thank you for sharing!

OK, now I get why I am repeating things to my sons & husband! Hmm, now I am going to have to figure which ear is their good ear! LOL! Did the study say anything about girls being on time more than boys? Just curious! LOL!

OMG! I have 2 boys and my boyfriend. No wonder I get so tired of repeating myself constantly.

I read somewhere that to get your boys attention, it's always best to put a hand on his arm or shoulder. This gets him looking at you and paying attention with that one ear. It works most times for me! When my son is so focused on something, he will not even hear me. This stopping him mid-track with a touch helps!

This explains a lot! I have 5 boys and there are times I don't think they hear anything I say!
