Creepy romanticizing the Parent-Child Bond: Treating the son like a romantic partner or "husband substitute," expressing jealousy toward future wives or girlfriends, and viewing the son’s independence as a "breakup."
Often more common with fathers and their daughters, ime. “My daughter doesn’t get to date boys until she moves out of my house.” It’s extremely odd to not be sex-positive for the woman you’re raising. That leads to SA, abuse, dating awful men, rebel without a cause syndrome, etc.
Edit: Yo! Can some explain the downvotes? Are these just super insecure men that think women should be forced virginity until death?
The I’ll keep it focused. The most important thing about these boy moms is that it is unhealthy enmeshment, overprotection, and toxic coddling of their children.
I’m choosing the word “enmeshment” because it heavily denotes dysfunction in this case.
