‘Queen’ Web site pampers sons-only moms

Four years ago, Dallas homemaker Linda Marie Ford was sitting at the dinner table with her husband and her three children, all males, when one of the boys belched so loudly that the boy next to him laughed so hard that milk came out of his nose.

It was inspiring. It inspired Ford, 41, to invent a Web site.

The site, itsgoodtobethequeen.com, is devoted to women whose offspring are all male.

The site has 2,500 members who log on to read a weekly message from Ford and share their own stories about living in households preoccupied with video games and bodily functions.

Ford, who refers to all of her members as “queens,” got the idea for the Web site’s regal theme when one of her sons, steeped in chivalrous language after reading “The Chronicles of Narnia,” began answering any request she made by saying: “I hear and obey, my queen.”

She liked the sound of it enough to go out and buy herself a tiara.

“I think mothers with all boys deserve a little pampering,” she says.
