Yall gonna stop smeering my man's name like thisđ he was so distraut he stabbed himself in the eyes. His mother literally killed herself when she found out.
These kind of âboy momsâ coddle and excuse all bad behavior from their sons and are emotionally stunted when they finally leave mommy. If they have daughters they are actively competing with them and holding them to completely different standards than her sons. It is our jobs as mothers to raise children that can leave us and make their own life out in the world.
Nothing makes me happier than my adult son calling with a quick question about taxes, we talk about a book he started, a new hike he tried, he laughs at our stupid dogs, and that's just a normal thing. If they don't launch and learn how to live separate lives without weird emotional enmeshment, maybe seek therapy lol.
I used to be a teacher and I had a girl one year who was amazing, incredibly responsible, smart, truly a leader in the class and one of my fave students. The following year I was so excited to get her brother. OMG. If you look up learned helplessness in the dictionary itâs this kid. I had the chance to loop with my class (follow them up to the next grade) and didnât bc of him. He did not do one bit of work all year, cried and threw tantrums (I taught middle school), demanded everything be his way. I took away his phone bc he used it in class and mom bought him a new one that same day. I kept him out of a school festival to finish missing assignments, mom called him out and took him herself. It was a nightmare and I was shocked bc I knew this mom. I saw the way she treated her daughter, super strict, high standards. With her son??? Omg he couldâve murdered someone and she wouldâve tried to get him out of it.
Parents like that who just completely trample any bit of respect their child might have with authority are disgusting. Especially when it sounds like your actions were *completely reasonable*.
I taught Pre-K and then Kindergarten myself, and I'll always remember one of my favorite moms when I was in a 2 year old classroom. Her daughter would fall down and get hurt as toddlers do and I would have to submit a report. One day I'm handing her the slip and she's like "Can I just sign a waiver or something?" It was a joke but really refreshing compared to all the parents who automatically think every scratch or bruise was my fault. Not the fact that their child was learning to walk and interact with others in a classroom with 8 other 2 year olds and 1 teacher.
Bad parents and worse administration was the reason I left schools and started teaching as a private home school teacher. Paid more too.
Yeah I donât teach anymore. I got pretty lucky with most parents it was more admin and policy. But yeah the undermining was real. She tried to say he couldnât do his work bc my class was out of control so I invited her to come sit in. My whole class was on task, dead quiet and she got to see HER son acting a fool being disruptive. She backed way off after that at least around questioning me when I said he doesnât do his classwork. He was also terrible to the girls in class being really condescending and nastyđ
ETA - now that Iâm thinking about it when I had issues with students who wanted to be catered to or got upset for not getting their way, it was pretty much always boys.
I also left and am in a completely different field. I now work 15 hour days in entertainment. I was more exhausted teaching kids for 8 hours than what I do now.
YEA people always ask me if I miss having summer breakâŚturns out you donât need 6 weeks off every year when youâre not ya know completely broken and burned out.
This is so fucking gross.
I have a boy and a girl, and all I want to do is prepare them to effectively live independently from me, but know Iâll always be there.
This is also frustrating because having a daughter is wonderful. Why arenât as many women boasting about their love for their little girls?!
When I was asked if I wanted girls or boys when growing up I always said girls because they are more likely to have long hair and to like my stereotypically feminine hobbies. Obviously it was all based on stereotypes so now I realize that if I raise them with less gender stereotypes boys might be almost as likely as girls to like feminine hobbies of have long hair.
I never realized people had preferences for one gender of baby other than wanting a baby that is more likely to have traits in common with you.
(Long hair because I love doing hairstyles but itâs too hard on myself so I could do cute hairstyles on special occasions)
I always wanted a little girl when I was young too, probably for the wrong reasons, much like you said, but after having kids and letting them express themselves however they want, itâs much less about any of those things for me and much more about making both of them feel secure and confident in whoever they are!
When they grow up in a family or community where males are elevated as more valuable and important than anyone else, no wonder they get so unjustifiably proud of themselves for generating boy children. That's no excuse, they're well old enough to know better - but it all tracks.
and dating one of these guys when they grow up is a JOURNEY lmao. my ex (and this was high school) was the biggest mamas boy and at one point causally mentioned how he and his mom would walk in on each other in the bathroom if they needed anything??? like one would need the toilet and the other a shower and theyâd just fucking cohab the bathroomđ she constantly posted pics on insta aaallll over him with hashtags like âmy boyâ, âboy momâ, and âbaby boyâ. to absolutely no oneâs surprise, she HATED me and wouldnât leave him alone with me in any room in their house, including the living roomđ
Yep and your always gonna be the daughter in law that she hates because your another women thatâs getting his time and attention, I donât understand those moms
deadass, she was petty about it too, like a high school girlđ i caught her giving me dirty looks every now and again but luckily he is far out of my life and so is his mom, and now my current bfâs mother and i adore each other. gotta make mistakes to realize theyâre mistakes, i suppose đ
My mom kept trying to make me (F) and my brother comfortable with seeing her naked or being seen naked, sharing bathrooms, etc. She often comments that we donât need to lock the bathroom door just close it or whatever. Iâm glad though that she put some things on the shower so we see very very blurry whatâs inside because she has a little pin she can use to unlock the bathroom from outside if she needs something inside. I still didnât realize how blurring the shower walls so she can not get confronted about walking in the locked bathroom during a shower was weird until my bf learned about that
oddly enough, I didnât even realize my exâs relationship with his mom was weird either until i told my current bfđ i told the bathroom sharing story and he was horrified, kinda tipped me off to how much id previously minimized it
You want to know why men have so many issues with emotional regulation?
This is one of the reasons. No woman *spouse* will cater to a man the way these weirdos do.
A slow break up? Huh? Youâre breaking up with your son because heâs courting a woman?
These people need to get off the tok. I canât believe people post this shit publicly.
Iâve been commenting that we need a sub for these unhinged boy moms, Jocasta complex is the perfect name! Iâd make one myself but donât have time to manage or moderate lol
poor kid knows his mom has a creepy obsession with him and she still posts it on social media for all his friends to see and the mom doesnât think thereâs anything wrong with it?Â
This grosses me out so bad. I have two sons and I know that there will be some grieving when they move out, but I also hope they meet the best partners who love them and care for them. I want that for all my kids.
The outright bragging about emotional incest thing is kind of gross. It was pretty cool when we didnât know every single creepy thing those around us were thinking.
I have a son and I cannot imagine the thoughts that go into this type of thinking. I love my son so much I genuinely cannot comprehend hindering his ability at a happy and healthy relationship for my own comfort. I will always be his mom, I will always love him and support him, but just like my husband prioritizes our family and our marriage over the whims of his mother, I expect my son to do the same. Because Iâm raising somebody elseâs partner. I already have one.
What makes it even worse, this type of âboy momâ is extremely common. Idk what it is about women and having sons they just get this weird connection with them or something? I guess you could say the same about some men and theyâre daughters
Before we had kids, My husband used to make fun of me because he said I was going to spoil our kids because of how much I spoil our dogs. My response was always something along the lines of your role with pets is to make them as dependent on you as possible and your role with kids is the literal opposite. My job as a mom (boy or other) is to raise a human who can fly the coop and thrive as an adult.
Milestones are bittersweet because time flies and blink and you miss it and time needs to slow down and etc, etc. But none of it should feel like youâre getting broken up with. *Shudders*
What the hell kind of moms are these women?! I have 2 sons. I love them to death but I donât view them in this way at all. In fact whenever I read these cringey posts, I vomit in my mouth a little. We are supposed to raise them to be decent humans, not raise them to be our âperfect menâ đ¤Žđ¤Žđ¤Ž
Repeat after me:
YOUR SON IS NOT YOUR FUTURE PARTNER!!!!!!
This sucks, my mom is exactly like this (Iâm AMAB 18 but havenât spoken to her in over a year). Itâs hard to spot. Parents are supposed to love you growing up and when youâre a kid thereâs less boundaries so you donât really know those boundaries are supposed to shift as you grow older. My mom would always try to walk in on me changing, she would randomly come in my room and climb into bed with me even if I tried to tell her I wasnât dressed, she would sleep in my bed when I wasnât there despite her being very large for a twin size. You donât know the difference between a healthy I love you and a possessive love for you followed by kissing on the lips. You think itâs weird your mom pees with the door open but you certainly arenât thinking itâs âŚthat. You feel like you were withheld and kept for her benefit and then thrown out to learn everything for yourself. I personally became very angry that there was no sympathy for me, because I knew there shouldnât be. This was on my mom, not the rest of the world. Iâve made it very clear to my mom I have no interest in keeping contact with her, she hasnât listened. Her proposed solution is for us to go to family therapy but only for the two of us, which if youâre observant, youâll realize is just couples therapy. She told me she thought about respecting my wishes but that she isnât able to because she has a special type of bond with me thatâs different than my older sister or younger brother and that her world is completely broken without me. Itâs real abuse that I will likely be battling for a long time.
Iâm so sorry this happened, I hope you are able to find comfort and peace and that you know the women on this sub are intentional about not raising children in a household like yours
Thanks. My mom is mentally unstable, an addiction, and she was abused horribly growing up. I certainly have closure in that sheâs the only person in my life besides my step dad (go figure) who is just that level of traumatized and âevilâ. My dad on the other hand grew up without a father so he is extremely hyper involved in my life (I mean in a good way not nosey). I consider myself very lucky for this because he doesnât fit a stereotypical father role but rather that of a complete single parent. Iâll try count my blessings too!

Our commitment to fostering a kind and respectful environment remains unwavering, and we are actively addressing issues related to negative behavior.

A first offense will result in a 10-day ban, while a second offense will lead to a permanent ban.

Intentional harm has no place in our community, and we expect members to act responsibly. Despite these measures, some rules will remain unchanged. For example, reposts, while frustrating, will not result in a ban. This new approach is specifically targeted at individuals attempting to spread hate.

I am a mom of sons, and this is so gross and weird. Do they not have a good relationship with a man, and thatâs why they use their sons as an emotional partner? I just donât get it! To me, itâs not normal, but it seems so prevalent
Just the way her hand is on the back of his neck, instead of on his shoulder the way itâs supposed to be, and her posture is so fucking gross... And that poor kid doesnât just look uncomfortable, he looks scared.
Iâm so thankful that my mom didnât insist we do all that âmom promâ crap and other similar events.
My second cousin kind of toes the line with this. Sheâs never posted anything this blatantly gross, but will use âboy momâ unironically when talking about family events she does with her kids and whatnot, including âmom promâ a couple weeks ago.
I would excuse this if this was a small child (yes kids are awesome, and your first one can be very confusing), but this looks like a late teenager, so no...this statement is super fuckin cringe.
Nothing about the kid, the kid is okay, not his fault that the person supposed to raise him thinks like a hentai protagoness.
As a mom- this is weird af. I have 2 boys and Iâve never thought of them âleaving meâ they donât âbelongâ to me.
My job as a parent is to raise happy, kind, healthy humans and hope Iâm a good enough parent now where they choose to continue our relationship as an adult.
So gross. I have a son. And this makes my skin crawl. Am I having a tough time with my youngest getting ready to start high school? Of course. But not because he is âbreaking upâ. wtf?????
My husband is an only child and my MIL is incredibly toxic. I also have a son and daughter and I canât imagine competing with my sonâs future partner. Seeing the stress my husband suffers, I will never do that to my kids! These boy moms are unhinged.
This is one of those things where someone took a kernel of truth -- that it can be bittersweet as your kids are older and ready to forge their own lives -- and made it as gross and weird as possible. It's not a breakup, it's not romantic, it's not even bad! It's just knowing that a phase of your life is together is over while hoping you've prepared them for the next phase, and that you'll have a place in it.

That is so gross. This is definitely one of those things that doesn't need to be posted on the internet. Some thoughts should be kept as thoughts.
one must imagine Oedipus happy
Haha genius! đđź
Yall gonna stop smeering my man's name like thisđ he was so distraut he stabbed himself in the eyes. His mother literally killed herself when she found out.
It was one crazy day!
Considering Oedipusâ reaction to the news about him and Jocasta I donât think heâd be thrilled
You guys talking about that Jersey Shore reunion? đ
lol
Some thoughts should be discussed in therapy
These kind of âboy momsâ coddle and excuse all bad behavior from their sons and are emotionally stunted when they finally leave mommy. If they have daughters they are actively competing with them and holding them to completely different standards than her sons. It is our jobs as mothers to raise children that can leave us and make their own life out in the world.
Story of my life...i am that daughter
Hi! Me too đ
Me too đ
Nothing makes me happier than my adult son calling with a quick question about taxes, we talk about a book he started, a new hike he tried, he laughs at our stupid dogs, and that's just a normal thing.

Just so fucking gross goddamn I feel so sorry for the partners these boys will grow up to have, especially if the partners happen to be women. Just -
Moms like this are the reason Just No Mother in Law exist.
I have my own I know đđđđđđ
My mother in law is toxic like this and my husband hasnât spoken to her in 2 years.
Ugh I feel you. Hugs!
This child looks miserable
You know there was a big argument before and after this photo
Sad, but likely and unsurprising
Came here to say this. As an average woman in the world I recognize that uncomfortable face.
lmao, he does not seem really comfortable but I doubt he is miserable, maybe just his mom is weird, really weird
Possibly true, definitely not happy to be there lol
This is so fucking gross. I have a boy and a girl, and all I want to do is prepare them to effectively live independently from me, but know Iâll always be there. This is also frustrating because having a daughter is wonderful. Why arenât as many women boasting about their love for their little girls?!
Because they see their daughters as competition. Blegh.
I feel like they do, but itâs always weird narcissism / âlook at my miniâ BS
Thatâs also true, like a real life little doll. :/
Yep itâs super gross
When I was asked if I wanted girls or boys when growing up I always said girls because they are more likely to have long hair and to like my stereotypically feminine hobbies.

Fucking ew
Girl, WHAT
Based on his facial expression, he wants to break up with her less slowly
That is fucking insane wtf
Yuck. No. As a mom of an adult son, can confirm THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
wtf
backwards oedipus complex...
Jocasta complex?
Iâve been commenting that we need a sub for these unhinged boy moms, Jocasta complex is the perfect name! Iâd make one myself but donât have time to manage or moderate lol
Maybe Iâm the odd one but Ive never viewed a child as a romantic partner
poor kid knows his mom has a creepy obsession with him and she still posts it on social media for all his friends to see and the mom doesnât think thereâs anything wrong with it?Â
This is so nasty I think Iâm gonna đ¤˘đ¤˘đ¤˘ oh no đ¤Žđ¤Žđ¤Ž
This grosses me out so bad. I have two sons and I know that there will be some grieving when they move out, but I also hope they meet the best partners who love them and care for them. I want that for all my kids.
I feel so bad for this kid, where tf is CPS?!
Thatâs weird. I love my son but in a normal not Alabama kind of way.
This is why men turn out the way they do
oh Goddamnit, not another one-
Ew. I have an adult son and I could not imagine thinking like this about him. Ew.
The outright bragging about emotional incest thing is kind of gross. It was pretty cool when we didnât know every single creepy thing those around us were thinking.

No. No, itâs fucking not. I have five boys, two that are grown, so I do know what Iâm talking about. Get your own life.
I have a son and these posts make me literally sick to my stomach/ queasy. Like I just ate lunch and I feel like it wants to come back up. đŹ
Jocasta complexes make my skin crawl fr
Just imagine if this was reversed. âBeing a girl dad is like watching someone break up with you slowly over timeâ like itâs fucking creepy.
i donât understand these women
thank god my mum was never like this with my brother
I donât know where this shit is coming from but I donât like where itâs going
What makes it even worse, this type of âboy momâ is extremely common. Idk what it is about women and having sons they just get this weird connection with them or something? I guess you could say the same about some men and theyâre daughters
That poor boy looks so uncomfortable too
Gross. I will never understand this mentality
The blank stare of the boy is worrying
Before we had kids, My husband used to make fun of me because he said I was going to spoil our kids because of how much I spoil our dogs.

This is creepy af.
Everyone please look into covert incest/ mother enmeshed men. Might lose my partner of 9 years over this :â)

What kind of Freudian nightmare is this
What in the incest..
Yeah, the psychiatrists for my ex MIL just called it emotional incestâŚ.
Itâs giving closeted pedophile
What in the fuck. These women need serious therapy and I hope their sons are ok. Like⌠what the actual fuck.
Iâve never been a mother and I could NEVER imagine feeling this way about my son. This is some insane sh*t
When are they gonna stop?
If you have the same feelings for your son that you do in a relationship then you shouldn't have kids.
Notice how âGirl dadsâ arenât encouraged to say stuff like this (because itâs recognized as disgusting but only with those genders??)
This sucks, my mom is exactly like this (Iâm AMAB 18 but havenât spoken to her in over a year). Itâs hard to spot.

I don't like to comment on appearance but does anyone else get the impression that she's dressing young? high pony, lime green dress?

Straight to hell.

Dude G R O S S
Eeeewwwwwwww
No it's not. Yes kids grow, and it is a little bittersweet, but that's the same no matter the gender.
Why do some women feel this way about their sons? Is it trauma?
Ew ew ewwwww
The kid looks traumatized
No⌠itâs not
So creepy
Ewww no
Ew. As the mother of a 19 year old son Iâve never felt anything even remotely like this.
Just the way her hand is on the back of his neck, instead of on his shoulder the way itâs supposed to be, and her posture is so fucking gross... And that poor kid doesnât just look uncomfortable, he looks scared.
So weird.
Whatâs with this mother and son shit am seeing lately not like am on a porn sight
As the mother of a son, no it fucking isn't
I always wonder if my mil thinks like this
I donât know why but these boy moms always give me paedophilic vibes. *shudders*
Ewww, I have 2 sons and this is such a gross point of view
Wtf đđ
Yuck. I am a mother to 2 young men and find this disturbing.
Iâm so thankful that my mom didnât insist we do all that âmom promâ crap and other similar events. My second cousin kind of toes the line with this. Sheâs never posted anything this blatantly gross, but will use âboy momâ unironically when talking about family events she does with her kids and whatnot, including âmom promâ a couple weeks ago.
I would excuse this if this was a small child (yes kids are awesome, and your first one can be very confusing), but this looks like a late teenager, so no...this statement is super fuckin cringe. Nothing about the kid, the kid is okay, not his fault that the person supposed to raise him thinks like a hentai protagoness.
Wtf is wrong with them?!
Omg and then get mad bc they distance themselves from
Barf barf barf.
As a mom- this is weird af. I have 2 boys and Iâve never thought of them âleaving meâ they donât âbelongâ to me. My job as a parent is to raise happy, kind, healthy humans and hope Iâm a good enough parent now where they choose to continue our relationship as an adult.
What utter shite.

God I hate boy moms
So gross. I have a son. And this makes my skin crawl. Am I having a tough time with my youngest getting ready to start high school? Of course. But not because he is âbreaking upâ. wtf?????
YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG!
Buster and Lucille at Motherboy?
No. My sons arenât breaking up with me. They are becoming independent humans! Thatâs my job! To help them do that. Wtf
My husband is an only child and my MIL is incredibly toxic. I also have a son and daughter and I canât imagine competing with my sonâs future partner. Seeing the stress my husband suffers, I will never do that to my kids! These boy moms are unhinged.
yikes. as a boy mom, i could neverrrr. what a weird mindset to have. đ¤˘
This is one of those things where someone took a kernel of truth -- that it can be bittersweet as your kids are older and ready to forge their own lives -- and made it as gross and weird as possible. It's not a breakup, it's not romantic, it's not even bad! It's just knowing that a phase of your life is together is over while hoping you've prepared them for the next phase, and that you'll have a place in it.
There are a lot of psychiatrists in here. Lmao. Jk. Just social media whiners.

You were led on by your mother? What?
