[quote=Anonymous]I think I’m some cases it’s the mother’s identity (perhaps narcissism) of being a “good mom” that causes these dynamics. I knew a stay at home who “did everything” for her family, holidays meant just showing up, mom did all the cooking and cleaning and she was thrilled to take care of her “kids” (adults). When she needed a new car, it was time for each of her three kids to get new cars as well (from Mom). Any outings to restaurants, theater, travel, involved the adult kids, never Moms peers. This mom planned everything and derived a lot of enjoyment. When the father died, it only made sense for the sons to keep living at home to help with lawn mowing, changing light bulbs, that they could do.[/quote]
