no one can take my son from me. he will only be ADDING to my life with his mate and children one day.

besides. he's MINE. MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE.

please tell me you're going to wear black on his wedding day... with a black veil

I've already had the pattern cut.

Re: Boy Mommy's

My MIL says it all the time

I think it's more to do with the different type of relationships. I think sons are more likely to move away with their family than daughters, they're closer with the mom when they get older, etc. I agree with the PP, the relationship is a little different.

It's not true. My DH still talks to his mom everyday. She is a big part of our lives. She got the daughter she never had.

Re: Boy Mommy's

My MIL has 3 boys...she has told each one of them that when they get married their wife and kids are their family and they come first.

Love her for that She's the kind of person where if DH doesn't agree with me she'll tell him he's wrong..even if his decision is in her favor.

But with that said...her boys are still her boys. She may not be number one in their lives but she is never out of their thoughts. They love her.

I hope this is how it is with my boys.

Re: Boy Mommy's

That saying makes me sad. My own parents have told me that and have said I should have more kids to try for a

I have a DS and I really think/hope that we will be close even when he is grown up, though I do agree that the mother-son relationship is typically different than mother-daughter.

Re: Boy Mommy's

Not all men feel they were a hopeless piece of meat passed on by their mother to the new wife as if they were useless without a woman.

I hate those sayings.

Re: Boy Mommy's

Considering my boys aren't allowed to grow up...date or marry this statement obviously doesn't apply to me.

yeah i heard it from my MIL when my husband "disobeyed her wishes" over something ridiculous that didn't have anything to do with her (as a 27 yr old, married father.) Given the source, i can only .

I will be PROUD of my son when he marries and takes care of a spouse, starts a family, etc... it'll prove I raised him right.

eta: the very same woman also said that she was going to wear black on my wedding day because she was losing her little boy.

Re: Boy Mommy's

I have heard it, but I don't buy it. My DH has a great relationship with his parents, largely because I support and encourage that. Family is the most important thing in the world. And don't get me wrong, I have wonderful in-laws, but they are far from perfect. I'm hoping when my boys get older that I can have a good relationship with their girlfriends/wives and won't have to worry about the "taking" my son away.

Re: Boy Mommy's

My sons will be mine forever!! I am so going to be that annoying MIL.

Re: Boy Mommy's

My DH talks to my MIL almost every day! Even if it's just a quick "Hello"!

I don't believe the saying at all. Even when my brother got married, he'd call my mom every night at 10PM! Just to say "Hi" and see how her day went!

Re: Boy Mommy's

Re: Boy Mommy's

I hate sayings like that. My DS is such a mommies boy. I really hope and pray that when he's older (after getting married, etc) that we will still be a BIG part of his life. I remember when I was pregnant and found out it was a girl, so many people made the comment that the OP said. It made me so sad b/c I felt like they were saying just b/c I had a girl now, my son can grow up and do what he wanted he's my little baby and hopefully we will raise him to want to still call and visit and be close to us down the road (the same with my daughter).
Honestly in general I hate all stereotypical comments. I constantly get the comments about how hard having a teenage girl is and how boys are so much easier and listen better and dont get into the kind of trouble girls do in thier teens. I think it's the individual not the gender

Re: Boy Mommy's

I hate that saying but I must say in my family it proved true to a certain degree.

However it's the oppsite with DH's family.

Re: Boy Mommy's

My kids will be my kids forever

Re: Boy Mommy's

It all depends on your relationship.... I don't listen to adages.

Re: Boy Mommy's

It's a saying in quotes that someone wrote on a plaque or a card. Does not define the life and relationship between my mom and [married] brother and will not define my life and relationship with my son.

Re: Boy Mommy's

I don't pay attention to those sayings.

I look at my DH and see a man that is still close to his mom and has always been a great son.

My SIL however...she is just not close with her mom. At all. My MIL has a much closer relationship with her son but not in a creepy way, lol. We are great friends and I am so thankful for that!!

I pray my boys will be as good to me as their dad is to his mom...if they follow his example, i have nothing to worry about! And I hope they find great women to marry!!

Re: Boy Mommy's

i have 3 sisters so yes, ive heard that saying and my parents actually have it hanging in their den with a picture of the 4 girls together. it doesnt make me sad though for my DS. he will be my little man forever, even when he gets married and has kids of his own.

Re: Boy Mommy's

i've heard it. in the case of DH i wish it were true.
for my own son, we'll see.
i certainly hope i'm not as suffocating as my MIL but i doubt a wife can ever replace a mother. if a boy has the same relationship with his wife as he does with his mom, then i think there's something strange there
