Football turns to tears in about 30 seconds at Dylan’s house.
On this episode of “The Parent Chat” Dylan gets real about life with three boys: the daily injuries, the nonstop wrestling, the competitions over absolutely everything and the pressure to raise good men. With a move coming up, she’s also laying down new house rules. Even water is banned from the living room. She reads your wildest boy stories from the comments, then sits down with Karen Lesh (@mobtruths), a mom of three boys now 18, 16 and 13, to find out what’s coming next.
What’s the craziest thing your boys have done? Tell us in the comments.
