On TikTok, the hashtag accounts for more than 31 billion views.

NEW YORK – Avery Woods has deleted a video that made her the subject of recent online discussion, but that does not matter.Woods, an influencer and podcast host with more than two million followers on TikTok, posted the video earlier in March, in which she appeared in the eyes of some to prefer one of her children over the other.

There are nearly 18 million posts with the hashtag #boymom on Instagram. On TikTok, the same hashtag accounts for more than 31 billion views.“You’ll be his first kiss, his first love, his first friend,” goes a popular audio track that many boy mums have used in videos of their child. “You are his mum, and he is your whole world.”

Eckel, who is 35 and has two sons, said in an interview that boy mums have “a lot of negative connotations”, including the idea that they are “weirdly obsessed” with their sons. But she added that she had broader concerns about adults who post content about their children. She said that parents who expressed a strong preference for a child based on gender may create unintended consequences.
