[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, is he a mama's boy?  My oldest certainly is.  And he is an adult.  He played football all the way through high school.  He went to college across the country.  He is a combat vet on his way back overseas for his third tour.  And he is still very much a mama's boy.

I agree that making your older child feel bad is shitty.  But there is nothing at all wrong with being a mama's boy.[/quote]

Op here, I guess I consider it a negative thing to call my 2 year old that. He’s two and yes he’s attached to me. But I stay at home with him and besides the occasional visit to our parents he’s never left with anyone else. [/quote]

I stayed at home with all five of mine, OP.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with your two year old being a mama's boy.  It's great that he is attached to you.  As I said, my oldest is and always has been a mama's boy.  His best man even made a joke about it at the wedding.  My second (we have five) is the opposite.  He loves me.  We have a great relationship.  But no one would consider him a mama's boy.

I do agree that your MIL shouldn't make your oldest feel bad.  That's completely unacceptable.  But I wouldn't make a big deal about the mama's boy comment.  If she says it again, you could always come back with "I hope they are both mama's boys".[/quote]
