It's no crime for parents to love their kids but it is well-documented that sometimes, the ways in which this is done way oversteps the mark of acceptability. There are many families that have weird dynamics because parents can't accept that their children have increasing levels of independence when they grow up, and a life that doesn't completely revolve around mom and dad. 

Perhaps one of the worst cultural phenomena related to this dynamic is boy moms, those mothers who develop an unusually close and protective relationship with their sons and throw a tantrum whenever they think that this special relationship is going to be threatened. These kinds of moms often don't take well to their sons bonding with anybody but them at any age, but the girlfriends and wives that appear as they get older are often a big trigger for them. In boy mom world, there can only be one important woman in the life of a son.

  • One woman shared a particularly egregious example of this that she had had to deal with in the form of her mother-in-law. Revealing how her soon-to-be husband's mom had caused drama and made a scene before and during their wedding, the behavior on display was most definitely several degrees removed from normal.

    These actions might be enough to render many people speechless, but the internet had a lot to say.

    Lisha Lou @LishaLou Who Replying to @linrosie3 Some of these women not bold enough either because idc who you are to him if you kiss my man on his lips I'm beating tf out you on the spot and if he's mad then he can get left too. Can't let those bitter women bu y you because she'll be doing this throughout their marriage.

    19:84 @exquisiteme_ Replying to @linrosie3 I read it somewhere; if a mother is too attached to her son to the point she doesn't know where the line is, it's bcs her husband neglected her & her emotional needs. So she's too depending on her son.

    Anthea @notantheaaa I know they're white but kissing your children on the lips after the age of puberty is weird, ESPECIALLY if they're a grown a adult.

    Bildungswoman @itisclive It's 100% okay to break up with someone because you hate their mother, btw. You not only can, but you really should.
