“We get to spend thoughtful, intentional time together,” the self-proclaimed “boy mama” continued, adding that she plans each of her tween’s special outings. “I want him to learn how to be thoughtful and creative when planning dates with women.”

But #BoyMoms always catch the butt rap.
Laura Elizabeth Graham, a millennial mother of two from Tennessee, once taught her toddler how to cook just because she didn’t want him to be “impressed by my daughter’s (Stoffers) lasagna.” , and was under fire on TikTok.
She tagged the cheeky snippet with #BoyMom, #MamasBoys and #MotherInLaw issues, which sparked a barrage of criticism from online flaw-finders who labeled her a “red flag”. Ta.
But Graham, 29, told the Post that her controversial parenting strategy is often misunderstood.
“Being a #BoyMom to my babies, Liam and Lincoln, is my purpose in life,” she said in her defense. “My goal is not only to raise successful young people, but also kind-hearted human beings.”
But it seems that excessive smothering from beloved mommy can wreak havoc after the boy finally becomes a man.
Recently, a new mother took to Reddit’s “Am I The A-hole” forum and accused her stepmother of committing “emotional incest.”
“She showed up and tried to get my husband to sit on the couch with me while I was in labor because she ‘needed to make sure he was okay,'” the anonymous whistleblower said. I’m writing. “I saw her repeatedly rubbing and squeezing his inner thighs.
“She’s weirdly sexual towards my husband. If he won’t protect himself, I will.”
Researchers warn that emotional incest is when “a parent seeks emotional intimacy from a child that a romantic partner should provide.”
But Marie insists that her mother-child relationship is anything but creepy.
“It’s not weird at all,” she said in a follow-up Instagram clip, detailing the “healthy and open” dynamic she had with her son. “We’ve been going on dates since (the boy) was little.”

The blonde outlined important dating etiquette tips and tricks her kids learned during a recent one-on-one.
“What did he learn last night?!” she captioned the video before checking it off her list. “To open the door to his date. Don’t walk in front of his date. Pay attention to their preferences for things (e.g. where you want to sit at the movie, not just where you want to sit. ).
She continued, “I pulled up a chair at the dinner table. I learned how to give non-verbal and check signals to the waiter, I learned how to pay for everything myself, and I learned how to be creative without spending too much money.” I learned how to be thoughtful.

Aside from the apparent success of the fanciful tradition, Marie admitted that the word “dating” could “trigger” trolls grappling with childhood trauma.
“That’s so sad,” she commiserated in a follow-up clip.
“But there are a lot of women now… who are dating and understand what it’s like to date men,” Marie said. “And it’s terrible.”
Experts warn that the close bond between mothers and children can easily become toxic if certain boundaries are not set and respected. “” “” “” “” “” – Stock.adobe.com
