Mothers with sons, daughters reveal ‘play war’ and rougher sibling behavior

I recently shared a story on my TikTok about a friend who called me with a horror story about her sons.

The brothers, as part of their “play fight”, did a few things to each other… and let’s face it, their behavior could get them arrested for blasphemy if they were judged as adults.

My friend was completely emotionally unprepared for this as a mother.

It made me realize, I haven’t been checking my guy friends enough!

“Fart till I puke”

So I gave my audience TikTok and they agreed – “No one prepared me for this!” as one said.

The gist of my comments section was that when you put the brothers together in particular, they are rambunctious and filled with endless energy, which leads to despicable actions and messy adventures.

Which they think is funny, of course.

Take this mother, who shared that she found her sons drinking water from each other’s buttholes…she’s still traumatized, years later.

Another viewer shared, “My middle son sat on my son’s face and farted until he threw up,” and he’s not alone, as a second mom recalled a similar story.

Then there was this anecdote: “My little son bit his brother’s will so hard he nearly circumcised him.”

“Daughter mothers entered the conversation”

To be clear, I don’t think all boys are like that and all girls are humble little angels either; all children are unique and are as similar as they are different.

However, there seems to be a common thread with toilet humor incidents.

Or so I thought.

Until the girls’ mothers entered the chat.

“Trust me, girls aren’t much better. My daughters will fight and fight with each other as much as the boys!” read a comment.

From there, I was quickly schooled in the funny and wild behavior of little girls with sisters, too.

From sticking our feet up each other’s butts to poo stories, I quickly learned that the most common thread in the gross behavior game was childhood.

I found school teachers reinforcing this: that boys are especially busy and wild, but the girls in their classes can give them a run for their money.

However, they did note that little girls were usually not as humor-prone, though I’d say that’s more down to social conditioning.

“You’re not funny, you’re dangerous”

One angry mother found my observations offensive, claiming she thought my video would be about the struggle our husbands are facing in public scrutiny right now:

“Disappointed. Here I was thinking she means we need help because of all the anti-men our boys are getting right now. You’re not funny, you’re dangerous.”

I don’t think so ma’am.

If I see male misconduct, I will call it out whether there are 2 or 20 of them.

If your sons are already dealing with anti-man rhetoric, I would consider addressing your values ​​and what you teach your sons.

Comparing the antics of little brothers sniffing each other’s farts isn’t really the same as defending the boys’ trog, it will be the boys in the disrespectful grown men.

This is a different TikTok.

In the end, I am very grateful for my sons.

Even when they are testing my patience or gag reflex.

And it’s clear to me that all children, boys and girls alike, share a universal ability to turn any ordinary moment into something hilariously chaotic.
