Are you accidentally teaching your boys that household work is “mom’s job”?
It’s a common slip — saying “help me” when asking kids to do chores. The problem? Those two little words can plant a seed that cooking, cleaning, and laundry belong to women, and that boys are only there to help out.
That’s not the message we want to send. Instead, what if we raised our sons to see household responsibilities as gender-neutral — and paired that with emotional intelligence that equips them for life?
In this episode, Anne opens up about her journey as a “boy mom” (not the toxic social media version!) and the intentional ways she’s teaching her sons to step up at home, observe their surroundings, and feel safe expressing big emotions.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:
Why replacing “help me” with “we” or “it’s time” can shift your child’s mindset
How to build responsibility and initiative in kids without the dreaded “chores” battle
The importance of teaching boys to observe and take ownership of what needs to be done around the house
Practical ways to nurture emotional intelligence so your sons grow up confident and capable of handling their feelings
Raising sons who are responsible and emotionally aware doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the small, everyday language shifts and intentional conversations that build the foundation for the men they’ll become.
