What you don't see is a baby who peed in the tub, or a baby who threw a large cup full of that gross bath water in mommy's face.

The stereotype of being a girl mom

I'm sure many of you have seen the boy mom vs girl mom video recently swirling around Facebook. I honestly don't know where this came from. The idea of girls being well behaved vs boys who aren't.
