[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

So, confirmed. He is, in fact, a mama’s boy. She’s just calling it as she sees it. And it sounds like you have deeper issues with her and you’re making this the issue to take it out on her with, because you’re too chicken to confront her about anything else. [/quote]

Sorry, how is this confirmed?[/quote]

He’s attached to her. To the point where he basically wants no one else. He cries for her. He’s never left with anyone else and spends all day at home being smothered by mommy. Do you not get this?[/quote]

He's 2...its completely normal for him to be attached.  "Mama's boy" may be accurate but its not nice and OP has the right to be annoyed.  FWIW, my son is a total "mama's boy" as well, although nobody calls him that (that I'm aware of) and I am away from him 45 hours/week at work.  [/quote]
