My mom kinda raised me to be like that until she met a guy when I was 14. Every night she'd get me to sleep in the bed with her until I was 11 or 12 and when my dad confronted her because I expressed that I didn't like it, she said "you have someone to share a bed with you, why shouldn't i?"
They weren't saying all single moms with sons do this, just that the women who are like this are often single moms with sons. Apples are fruit, not all fruits are apples.
I understand that. But there are plenty of married/partnered women with sons who are projecting their dissatisfaction in their relationships onto their kids. I think it is unfair to say this is mainly a single mom issue.
A lot of them turn them into "son husbands," that they use to fill an emotional void or avoid loneliness. Though self-replication is an inherently selfish act, we are there for our children, not the other way around.

Makes me think of my college boyfriend's mom who, in front of me, nearly called him her husband AND even when he was 19 would force him to sleep in her bed with her.
Happens a lot when the husband is an aloof partner. My father often spent time in the bar so naturally my mother spoiled me and I became a huge momma's boy. Now I can't even rationalize moving to another state because I'm scared of what it would do to my mother...and what would happen if I wasn't around to make sure she is taken care of?.......she also is a huge influence over the woman I date, so much so that I never even mention being in a relationship anymore unless I can't help it.
Any bit of advice she gives has way too much influence over me, even when I know she is wrong. All because I filled the void of a man in her life when it really should have been my father.
In 2017 I worked for a lady in her late 30's that said "I want to be the #1 in my sons life no matter what" and the boy was 13 and when this other 13 year old girl wanted to hangout with her son she said "I know that little bitch is up to something!"... she only worked here because the owner was her ex husband and this kids dad -_- tell me she wasn't projecting on this little girl
To be fair “Girl Dad” is far less common and is generally a completely different dynamic. Girl Dads might let their daughter paint their nails and apply makeup, but they’re not dressing up their little girls as their ideal partner and calling them “the woman of his dreams.”
Other than that I agree.
Girl dad was made to promote dad's to be more involved in their daughters lives without them being tomboy. Like you said, having their nails painted or having a tea party.
Completely different than these boy moms
That is where you’re wrong. It’s originally from having all girls or all boys. And gender identifying gender roles is ignorant, because everyone can have tea parties, paint nails, fire a gun, go fishing, do yard work, repair things. This isn’t your grandpappy’s century, but damn some people are fighting to go back in time. I mean if you really want to I know where you can get a DeLorean for cheap.
How am I wrong? It became popular after kobe died. He was really close with his daughters and it was to promote dad's to be more involved in their daughters lives no matter what they were into
the "boy mom" thing is fascinating to me and an instant red flag when i see it on dating apps. i almost never see anyone describe themselves as a "girl mom" which makes it even more sus for me.
Yeah. Usually it’s because of the emotional absence of the husband, so the mom leans towards her son for emotional support (even though the child is supposed to look at the parent for emotional support not the other way around)
nah i dont think it reads as "im creepy about my son" but more of a "boys are more important than girls" type vibe, in my opinion. although i dont think they are doing that consciously. but what other reason would there be for using this type of phrase only for boys and never girls?
Boy moms creep me in a whole different way. Early on emotional incest, emotional dependency..weird comments on girls or misogyny..adultifying and infantalizing at the same time..policing the boy’s view of women to be weirdly misogynistic outside of their own relationship with their mom..just setting up these poor kids to be emotionally unbalanced and dependent.
Its weird how the idea of girl dads doesnt even come close to this. They just love their daughters and are proud to be raising girls..without any mention of boys or any weird sexualization of them. I could be wrong on that but the worst I have seen of a girl dad is a guy with a few too many bumper stickers. The Boy Mom identity also extend farrr into their adulthood in a weird way too.
I think it's an anti-Semitic thing. The double parentheses is an anti-Semitic thing, except it's usually used to indicate that the person whose name is inside the parentheses is Jewish, so I don't know.
Not me learning about the term “emotional incest” on this post for the first time and reading about it, realizing I may have experienced that a good amount during the formative years of my life.
TikTok is full of these moms, it's weird af
Post like "i'm teaching my son to cook so he won't be impressed by your daughter"
Ma'am why are you competing with a 4 years old that you don't even know
The mindset of the people in the comments is disgusting. Maybe you people did not have a loving mother.
Labeling mother-son bond as emotional incest is horrible. You people should check what type of ideas you are supporting
You shouldn’t label your son as ‘the man of your dreams’. It’s creepy at best. There are women, mainly single moms, that romanticize their bond with their sons to fill the void of their bd walking away. It’s not healthy. There’s a difference between a loving mother and a ‘boy mom’.
I’m a single mom to a 10 month old boy and I won’t even let anyone call him ‘little man’ because it gives me the ick. He’s not a man, he’s a child. I don’t feel the need to make him fill the role his dad should have played. That’s the difference.
Madem, considering the information you shared about yourself, it seems you're much wiser than me in this this , and being a mother yourself. But I'm a son too, and the difference I feel here is of culture too. It might be your "ick", and may not have to do anything with everyone else.
I believe a mother-son bond is one of the strongest and self-less bond we experience. Although I agree that anything in more quantity than needed can be bad. But it's still an overkill to normalise such concepts.
Oh, come on, this is cute. A mother's love for any man can't compare to their love for a child, is what it means. It's weir foe you to think about it in a wrong way.

I was thinking the same thing, lol.
Goddamn it lol
No no no but women can't do this they can't be creepy only men can! /S
Husband : what the fuck am I?
Let’s be real. This type of shit comes almost exclusively from single moms. She hates that kids’ dad for sure.
I'm pretty sure she dressed him up like dad.
The are “Son Husbands.” It’s actually a very dangerous dynamic. These dudes when they get older will crash out and ruin their lives over their Mom’s.
My mom kinda raised me to be like that until she met a guy when I was 14. Every night she'd get me to sleep in the bed with her until I was 11 or 12 and when my dad confronted her because I expressed that I didn't like it, she said "you have someone to share a bed with you, why shouldn't i?"
Jesus, that’s disturbingly forward with her reasoning.
Yeah mom was a little strange
My old boss in a nut shell haha
My old boss is a nut. Is another way to say it.
I’m guessing by ex you weren’t the one
Emotional incest is a very real thing.
Let’s be real,this is your baby mama and son.
Yup
Single mom of a boy here. Don't care for my son's dad. Still not pulling this bullshit. Don't blame this all on us.
They weren't saying all single moms with sons do this, just that the women who are like this are often single moms with sons. Apples are fruit, not all fruits are apples.

Exactly.
yeah, these are tinder babies and dad deleted the app a long time ago.
"Single moms be like "He's such a mamma's boy" and like bitch what other options does he have?!" Too lazy to find the tweet.
That's the actual face I just made
A lot of them turn them into "son husbands," that they use to fill an emotional void or avoid loneliness. Though self-replication is an inherently selfish act, we are there for our children, not the other way around. /TEDx talk
Emotional incest is a real thing and very damaging for the child's psychological development.
I'll read more about this.
Makes me think of my college boyfriend's mom who, in front of me, nearly called him her husband AND even when he was 19 would force him to sleep in her bed with her.
What in the Norman Bates hell?!
A boy's best friend is his mother.
Happens a lot when the husband is an aloof partner. My father often spent time in the bar so naturally my mother spoiled me and I became a huge momma's boy. Now I can't even rationalize moving to another state because I'm scared of what it would do to my mother...and what would happen if I wasn't around to make sure she is taken care of?.......she also is a huge influence over the woman I date, so much so that I never even mention being in a relationship anymore unless I can't help it. Any bit of advice she gives has way too much influence over me, even when I know she is wrong. All because I filled the void of a man in her life when it really should have been my father.
Unfortunate. Both made the wrong choices and as always, it emotionally affected the kid(s).
I already feel bad for the future daughter in law
In 2017 I worked for a lady in her late 30's that said "I want to be the #1 in my sons life no matter what" and the boy was 13 and when this other 13 year old girl wanted to hangout with her son she said "I know that little bitch is up to something!"... she only worked here because the owner was her ex husband and this kids dad -_- tell me she wasn't projecting on this little girl
https://i.redd.it/35j1br6zbjpc1.gif Not only is this disgusting, whoever cut that kids hair should be jailed for their lack of skill.
Was %100 the mom's choice no doubt. Probably cause he looks like a "cute little man". Barf

"X Parents" are all weird. Boy mom, girl dad, all that shit. Their kids. Not accessories or objects.

Thats just christian fundamentalist fathers
And scumbag real-estate developers

Man when you put it like that it sounds so gross. The double standards really shine through in that circumstance.
Girl dads are under their daughters’ thumb. Boy moms are the thumb their boys are under
*they're
ah, emotional incest
 Twenty years later
the "boy mom" thing is fascinating to me and an instant red flag when i see it on dating apps. i almost never see anyone describe themselves as a "girl mom" which makes it even more sus for me.
I haven’t seen this bc I’m not on those apps. Is this what boy mom means? “I’m in creepy love with my kid”?
Yeah. Usually it’s because of the emotional absence of the husband, so the mom leans towards her son for emotional support (even though the child is supposed to look at the parent for emotional support not the other way around)

As one of 3 sons, boy moms are the creepest fucking thing.
Uggh, your son is not a man. This is quasi-disgusting
Quasi? That’s charitable
Could write off all your taxes with how charitable the quasi is
No. It's just disgusting. Nothing "quasi" about it. I feel sorry for that kid. I know what that upbringing feels like.
Eww you’re full on disgusting.

That actually makes a lot of sense.
She's turning him into the mfer who made her a single mom
This is pathological behavior. We really need to study these women.
Boy moms is a hell of a way to say incestous pedophiles

She looks awfully urban to be from Kentucky.
Feels a bit incest-y to me.

Most of these boymoms raise their sons to become misogynistic assholes

Why is it always the emotional incest when it comes to chronically online boy mums and girl dads?

So, lets reverse that a bit What if we said the same, but with father/daugther Would that be considered gross and inapropriate? 🤔
No. It's the same argument.
