Is it normal for mums to do this?

Question

I am leaving Tassie to move to WA in 2 weeks and I only told mum last night, she said that I should think about it but my mind is made up, I'm 18 so she knows she cant stop me and doesn't want to stop me anyway but she just seems a tad bit worried about me leaving so is it normal for mums to be like this when their eldest leaves home for the 1st time??
she knows I'm only 2 days away via the boat in Melbourne so she can drive accross if she wants or fly over to Perth, its only a 5 hr flight via Melbourne airport.

Answer 1

Of course this is a common occurrence!
Don't you worry, almost everyone adjusts well enough.
I have no idea what it's like where you are, but over in Long Island, outside of NYC, most guys can't or won't afford to leave home till thirty.
And many come home after divorce, etc.
So, although you don't sound too argumentative or anything, just try to make sure it doesn't get to that point, OK?
PS You are the son, so you have to call home, and you have to be the one to travel back. Especially if you've got younger siblings. You're leaving, so it's totally up to you to come back and keep in touch in between!
Good luck, and be well.

Every mum worries when the chicks start leaving the nest. We are only mums between the ages of 0 to 18, but for the rest of your lives. We always worry about our children.

Answer 3

It is absolutely normal!! I am a mother and any time your children leave home you worry .It is a CRAZY world out there !! You NEVER stop worrying about your children even when they are grown. It only shows how much she loves you .After all she did give you LIFE!! You will understand when you have children of your own.Good luck and be safe and let let mom know how you are often .It may seem like she is BUGGING you ,but it is because she cares .GOD BLESS YOU !!

Sleeping in the same bed with his mother is NOT normal at 13. This relationship is too close, but of course the boy likes it because him mum does everything for him. But it will not "make him gay". It will make him spoiled, selfish and immature!

Answer 5

Yes, it is normal. You are only 18 and still very innocent in the ways of living outside of your family home. She is worried that you will be taken advantage of emotionally, financially, etc. Keep in touch with her on a regular basis to let her know that you are okay.

Answer 6

Of course it is normal. You wont understand until you have children of your own. Her "baby" is leaving her. No matter how old you are it is hard for parents to let go.

Just remind her how much you love her and will visit her. She will just need time adjusting. Buy her some flowers and she will remember she raised you right!

Good Luck!!

Moms are moms bro. There is nothing you can do to change that. Yes all moms are like that. Mine was till I had enough and broke our relationship. Every guy will go through that. It will kill her but it works.
