Mama's Boy

A mother and son Being very close Is he her only son? O Or is there another? I wonder about that Making the the mother React to do her bidding To control her son To do everything She wants him to do Son wants to marry He meets someone nice The friendship grows strong They go out on a date No one is good for him Then mother meets girlfriend First they get along As time goes by it changes She finds fault with her Listing all the faults Mother and son argue Speaking her thoughts About his girlfriend He disagrees Mother and son argue With no solutions He is the mama's boy

Imagine a young man and his mum as best friends, but then comes into the picture a young woman. Son and mother don't see each other as often, and mom criticizes the girlfriend, how will things end when this young man has always been a mama's boy. A fave, i have seen a relationship like this within our extended family, very sad. HUGS AND BLESSINGS, JENNIFER

Mothers sometime don’t understand themselves,so can ruin a son. Maybe one day, he will find who he is. Let’s hope so. Panagiota xxx

There comes a time when the mama's boy has to become a man. You can love and respect your mother without allowing her to ruin your relationshps and life. Be loving and strong and she will learn the lesson and come around eventually. Bill

Hello Mike, There is nothing wrong to be close to your mom. But when a mom ruins the relationship between the girlfriend and her son, by always being there with them is not good. Finding fault with the girlfriend in front of her is horrible. Happy Monday xxxxoooo.

This is a problem, but one that can have a happy ending. i have seen marriages that have broken up because of mother in laws. My mother in law tried hard but i was firm and always answered firmly and politely, as for the phone calls, we somehow got our number whenever she phoned always on my husbands phone,to not ever be available and eventually my husband picked up her drift, and also answered her back appropriately, perhaps I was one of the lucky ones. My husband is my treasure. Hugs Jenn

Hi Darlene, he must be an only son. Some Mothers can be so possessive when it comes to an only child. An honest scene played out before us through your wonderful words. Have a wonderful Friday. Hugs always ..... Mike. XX

That happens often maybe not always when they are only sons but even when they have more. Sometimes he is the golden boy of the family, moms fav. It does happen, nicely described, you feel sorry for the wife, :)
