I am a mother of two and one of them is a little boy. I hope to god that he puts his wife and kids first one day. A mothers job is to prepare their children for life, not to cling on and control them!!!

i'm most certainly not weak with my mother. when she comes home steaming drunk with her knickers at her ankles every weekend after a night of debauchery, myself and my brother carry her up to stairs to bed which is not easy as she's a right fat knacker(32 stones). so surely that is being strong when it comes to mother..............i think!

There is a difference between a mamas boy and a son who loves their parents. Our parents gave us everything we had as a child our father in most cases did a the financial support and the mother did all the caring. I don't think is weakness i just think is gratitude. Know if a man lets his mom walk all over his wife then that is a weak man or a mamas boy. There is a fine line.

The problem with the world today is that there are not enough Momma's boys. I will admit that some mothers are controlling and overbearing, but a good son will help his mom anyway he can, with regards to families fo course a man should put his wife and kids first, but not neglect the one who gave birth to him

Is it the man won't let go or the mother still has the apron strings around him. Mothers find there children precious to then and find it difficult to let go. My mother used to cook me meals every evening even though I was married, I used to tell her that I had dinner ready at my home, she would bust into tears telling me I was getting thin and no one could cook like their mothers, I sat down and explained that even though I was married she was still important to me, a mothers love is far beyond that of a wife, (ie) blood is thicker that water. It took a bit of time for my mother to adjust to our situation, but we included her a few days a week looking after the children and occasional cooking dinner for us all. I don' think men are weak, I think that mothers have to much love and protection for their children's

Because we men owe them so much, and give in to them out of returned love. But that weakness has to be put aside when we decide to make our future with another woman. It's often a sad time for mothers, and we need to show our love by not shutting them out altogether. It's not usually long before they start enjoying their own new-found freedom, and seeing your happiness and the children that follow.

if you raise yours that way then they will be that way.some mothers don't parent that way they get use to doing all for the child and fall into a rut and don't know any other way to act.the grown child is use to that way of life as well and even if they find it smothering at times it is what they have b/c acustomed to.you can't change that life long behavior for to those involved it is natural.there were signs of this in the beginning of the relationship ,I am sure this didn't just pop up, deal with it and try to raise your kids differently.Don't fight it for you will only be the bad one and you will only cause stress for your self. get over it and learn from it.

If you become a mother of a son some day - and I hope you do - you'll understand. The more important question is, why does it bother you so much that you have such a tough act to follow?

Because that's who birthed them! They say you can tell how a guy is going to treat you by how he treats his mother. Mine treats his incredibly well and would bend over backwards for her. I get the same!
