A "Mama's Boy" is a guy who is too attached to his mother. Some might have different definitions of that, but in general, if he puts his mother first above his wife, he's a mama's boy. If he depends on his mother to cook for him, do his laundry, and take care of him once he's an adult, he's a mama's boy. Actually, I feel, if he's an older teen and he's still not helping around the house, he's a mama's boy. Even if he works, he can be a mama's boy. Most of these guys expect their wives to take care of him the way Mama does, but even if she does, when he has a fight with his wife, he'll often run to Mommy. He might go over Mom's for dinner a lot, too, even if his wife is willing to cook for him.

I think it's pathetic. Women aren't here to take care of men like that. Women should do nice things for their men, and men should do nice things for their women, but to take care of all his needs and wants all the time, is slavish and sad.

Now, I want to clarify, there is a difference between a Mama's Boy, and a guy who really loves his mother and likes to be in her life. The latter is a wonderful thing. But this type of guy doesn't run to Mommy when problems arise in his marriage, he doesn't tell Mom all the gossip of his marriage, he can take care of himself, he takes care of his wife, and he values women. He's a Real Man.

I was thinking a few days ago, actually, about an odd thing:

While we are usually put off by any adult these days who still live with their parents, or who are spoiled by their parents, it's still less ok to be a Mama's Boy than a Daddy's Girl.
