Summary

We chat about our parenting experiences of raising girls and raising boys: what we love about raising girls and boys, the values we hope to instill in them, and what we think would be hard about raising the opposite gender. Along the way we discover that we both have strong thoughts on gendered clothing and the phrase "boy mom."

0:37.3	So go ahead and sign up for that.
0:39.3	This episode is based on a listener question, actually, to discuss some of the similarities and
0:43.3	differences between raising boys versus raising girls.

0:54.7	Yep.
0:55.0	So we thought it would be interesting to chat about that.
0:57.6	And I'd like to start off with a bit of a disclaimer, though.
1:00.4	And I think I can speak for both of us when I acknowledge that so many of the things,
1:04.7	that so many of us call boy things or girl things as a society are simply not gender-specific,
1:10.6	and that even many of those that
