What is a Mama's Boy?

Our country is a relatively traditional country. Filial piety has been upheld since ancient times, so parents' orders cannot be disobeyed. But in modern society, it seems that parents' ideas and opinions are often inconsistent with the times, and sometimes even backward, so family conflicts are always easy to occur. However, there are some exceptions, that is, they like to listen to their parents no matter what. So what is a mama's boy?

A mama's boy is a man who listens to his mother in everything, thinks that his mother is right in everything, and always puts his mother at the center of everything. It also refers to children who are spoiled by their mothers. But it also means the mother's baby son. From the mother's perspective, it means that the son will always be the baby in the mother's heart.

This also applies to some women, some of whom are spoiled by their parents or have no independent thinking at all. They are called "mama's girls".

Of course, you can't just assume that a mama's boy is a good boy and a filial man. "I've heard of cheating men using the "mama's boy" image as a shield, saying "I'm sorry, my mom wants me to be with her" every time. All the cheating targets' caller IDs are "mom", so you think they have a good relationship with each other, but in fact, you are just his other mother. So sisters, don't mistake "mama's boy" for filial piety."

Mama's boy generally gives people the impression of being indecisive and unconfident.

Mama's boys usually appear in two types of families. One is a family with better family conditions: children of poor families become independent early, and because of their superior family conditions, mama's boys are pampered by their parents, so they are ignorant of worldly affairs. They have a poor career ambition, but generally have a good career. Although we are always reluctant to follow the path arranged by our parents, it cannot be denied that following the path arranged by our parents will be smooth sailing. Usually mama's boys will listen to their parents' arrangements and get a good job.

Second, the mother is in charge. She takes care of all the big and small things at home while the father is a "hands-off boss". Men who grow up in such families are extremely dependent on their mothers. Their thoughts and behaviors are too greatly influenced by their mothers, and they develop an overly dependent mentality on their mothers.
