They say that mother’s of little boys work from sun up till sun down! Even with all the help afforded to these celebrity mums, we believe that this also rings truth in these all boy families.
There is just something about having boys that differs from having girls. Let alone having ALL boys. It’s their energy levels! Apart from their obvious terrible aim in the bathroom. Seriously though, how hard?
Psychologists believe that when sons have close relationships with their mothers, they have a tendency to be more patient, easy going, and adaptable. They do better at school and they generally don’t feel the pressure to live up to a “macho stereotype.”
Kate Stone Lombardi, the author of THE MAMA’S BOY MYTH: Why Keeping Our Sons Close Makes Them Stronger writes:
“For generations, mothers have gotten the same old message when it comes to raising sons: beware of keeping him “too close.” A mom who nurtures a deep emotional bond with her boy will prevent him from growing up to be a strong, independent man. By refusing to cut those apron strings, she is on track to create a wimpy, dependent, maladjusted “mama’s boy.” There’s just one problem with this theory: it’s not true.
In fact, pushing boys to separate prematurely from their mothers and encouraging them to “man up” can be damaging to boys. What’s more, there are enormous benefits to a close mother-son bond, starting from the earliest days and continuing into a man’s adult years.
