Being a boy mom & having boyfriends who follow IG models
All the juicy bits shared in Diem this week.
Hi all! Big things went down in the Diemverse this week. To start, we learned about the nuanced differences in motherhood regarding raising boys vs. raising girls. We also talked about boyfriends who follow models on Instagram, how hormones impact skin and myths about birth control. Let’s dive in!
Quote of the week
“Until I became the mother of a boy, I never understood how different boys and girls can be. More so, this is inherently related to the way we, as mothers, mother them. In infancy and up to toddlerhood, I find we give girls more patience and we expect more of them because we, as women, expect that of ourselves.” - Sarah Larson-Levey, Y7 Founder & CEO
