Suzy Shaw - The mom behind the mayhem
I wrote this book hoping that sharing my lessons learned and humor while raising boys will bring a smile to the reader’s face and spark an idea on how to navigate the trials of motherhood.
I share our family’s journey in raising two Gen Z boys. Included are also random tips from me and ‘Sister Sense’ that I picked up from my nine sisters-in-law and sister-friends (too many to count).
It’s my hope that you, dear members of the Mothers of Boys (MOB), get a chuckle, some tips, and are a little kinder to yourself when you have similar experiences with your boys.

So I read him his math homework out loud.
