Wow. Can you believe it’s almost been a month since the MOB Society officially launched?!
It seemed like a good time to stop writing and just reflect.
We have been overwhelmed and blessed in so many ways – through the posts by our wonderful writers and the comments and love from all of our readers.
And since we love hearing from you so much, and we love getting to bless you, why not combine the two?!
What have you learned so far from reading the amazing posts at The M.O.B. Society?
Tell us one thing you’ve been challenged to do since you began reading the MOB and how you have put what you learned into practice for your chance to win…
The New Strong-Willed Child by Dr. James Dobson! (Thank you Tyndale House!)
So let’s get started…what have you learned and how have you put it into practice?
I have enjoyed reading the posts as it shows me that I am not the only one who thinks that boys and girls are different. I believe that boys are designed to run, scream, jump and get muddy however they can do this while still having a gentle heart towards others. I feel that mothers of boys have a great responsibility to teach them how to act towards the women that are in their lives. Thank you for this great blog and that God is at the centre.
I have learned that I need to step back and enjoy my little wild man a little more. But I also need to hit reset in my discipline of him. I need to be clear in the boundaries I set for him so that he can freely live out who God has made him to be!

I’ve learned that boys are l-o-u-d and crazy, because that’s the way God made them! I need to continue to give my son opportunities to use his wildness and loudness for good, rather than evil.
I’m enjoying who he is even more now, thanks to all of the wise women writing on this blog! Thanks so much to all of you.

I have learned that this “raising a boy” thing is new and overwhelming for many of us. It’s comforting to know that I’m not alone in this adventure! =)

loved the idea that we are the yardstick that our boys will measure their future wives to. we can start being great mothers-in-law now!

Boys will be boys and it is okay for them to do so!

I have learned that my son’s actions are really no different that any other person’s son. Which is really nice to know. I am glad that I found this site.
I’ve definitely learned that I’m not alone in the challenges and joys in raising boys. It’s nice to have a place to come to share.

I love the heart of this website. Boys will be boys, but we can raise them up with Godly character, even with the challenges and obstacles that come our way. I agree with a previous reply, I also have learned that my son will see me as an example for what type of wife to find (or which type to stay away from! lol). Thank you for this site and for the useful information!
It’s reinforced to me that our boys are wired to be adventuresome. I’ve put it into practice by sending my 11 y o off to scout camp for the week (with no contact the whole time). I miss him so much! I’m so excited for him though – he’s going to do boy things all day long, including “snow” skiing!

Wow! One thing that really has stuck with me from the wonderful posts this past month is that I am the model for the type of woman that my boys are going to most likely gravitate too! That really hit me like a ton of bricks! It’s such a huge responsibility and has really made me aware, not only of the type of mom I am, but the woman I am in general.
Great stuff, ladies! I was so excited about the MOB society when it was announced and you have not disappointed!

Boys are a great blessing and it’s a journey to get them into manhood.
I don’t knnw that I’ve as much learned new things as I’ve been retaught and convicted of things I already know. Having 4 kids (oldest 3 are boys) in just over 6 years leaves me very busy and sometimes quite stressed out. Your site has reminded me to get on the floor and play with my boys, to wrestle with them, to let them get dirty, to be the best example of a Godly wife and mother I can be. I’m certainly not perfect, but I”m trying harder since I have the daily reminders from you. Thanks!
I’ve learned I am not alone in this.
This site has made me realize that my boys are quite calm in comparison to other boys! =D
Serioulsly, though, the one post that has stuck in my mind and not let go is the one about praying for your child’s future mother-in-law. I’ve spent lots of time praying that my sons will learn to treat girls the right way and find a girl with those wonderful qualities, but I never thought to pray for the woman who is raising her daughter to be my son’s wife. I’ve started doing so now!

With 3 girls and 1 boy thrown in the middle I am so glad to have this site. I am learning that boys are SO different than girls and thats okay. I need to let him be a boy and get down and get dirty with him! I really enjoy the posts and am looking to what else you bring to us~ thanks

I’ve definitely been reminded to pray for my sons’ future wives.

I loved the post about teaching the heart of our boys instead of simply disciplining them. It was good for me to be reminded that what is in my son’s heart is more important than the appearance of having a perfectly behaved son.
This blog has been SUCH a blessing to me!!! As a mom of 3 YOUNG boys (5 and under), I can relate to each and every post. Daily I am reminded that while this season of life is stressful and hectic, one day I will miss it. My boys won’t need me anymore like they do now. I need to slow down and enjoy these moments because one day I will be longing to have them back.

I have just recently found your blog and I’m loving it. I have a little boy not quite 2 years old, but he is so different than his older sister. I’m learning so many things, but mainly I’m learning to enjoy playing with him and make time for him despite the items on my to do list.
I’ve learned that their are many other moms out there that are just as intent on being intentional about raising Godly young men! I can’t tell you how much this site means to me! I’ve shared it lots already! This is a great place for us to come together to find GREAT follow through tips!

This may sound trite and simple, but I have learned that I am not alone. I have three boys – 6, 5, and 1 with a 3 yrd old girl in the middle. And everywhere I go, I get comments not only about the size of my family, but the number of boys — an inevitably how difficult that must be. And it has just been so REFRESHING and ecouraging to read from other moms who have the same delightful challenges I do!
And it has just been so good to read articles that in one form or another release me to let my boys be boys…that I can parent through that, that they are normal, and the rejoice in this insane season.
it is hard to pinpoint 1 specific thing i have learned – i am pretty much just soaking it all in as a new mom. i guess i have learned how much fun it will be, and the challenge it will/may be to raise a son. i love the post about being the example of what your son should look for in a wife! i think of that post almost everyday. thank you so much for your site – it truly has provided so much needed insight for me!
I have been so encouraged by this blog – I love all the posts, and I guess I feel that I am not alone in the challenges that come with raising a boy!
