“Damn it.”
“Awkward.”
“That’s so fucking weird.”
Mom Melissa Ann Marie almost got these abuses and worse as she regularly gave her 12-year-old son $50 a month to take her out on dates.
But the single from San Diego said dating my mom was entirely healthy, not alarming.
“It’s really cool,” Marie, 31, a jeweler and mom of one, explained to her more than 7.8 million Instagram viewers, which includes A-list mom Khloé Kardashian Kardashian).
“We get to spend thoughtful, intentional time together,” the self-proclaimed “boy mom” continued, adding that she plans every special outing for her kids. “I hope he learns how to be thoughtful and creative when planning dates with women.”
Despite Mary’s best intentions, social media savages have lit their torches and sharpened their pitchforks in digital attacks on the blonde’s seemingly “toxic” parenting.
But #BoyMoms are always criticized.
Laura Elizabeth Graham, a millennial mom of two from Tennessee, previously found herself on TikTok sizzling skewers because she taught her How your child cooks, just to make sure he’s not “impressed with how your daughter cooks.” [Stoffers] Lasagna. ”
She tagged the sassy clip with the hashtags #BoyMom, #MamasBoys and #MotherInLawProblems, sparking a firestorm of criticism from online nitpickers who labeled her a walking “red flag.”
But Graham, 29, told The Washington Post that her controversial motherhood strategy is often misunderstood.
“Being a #BoyMom to my children, Liam and Lincoln, is my life goal,” she defended herself. “My goal is not only to raise successful young people, but also to raise kind people.”
However, it seems too much suffocating from Once a boy becomes a man, Mommy Dearest ends up wreaking havoc on him.
A new mother recently accused her mother-in-law of committing “emotional incest” on Reddit’s “Am I an Asshole” forum.
“While I was having contractions, she showed up and tried to get my husband to sit on the couch with her because she ‘needed to make sure he was okay,'” the anonymous tipster wrote. “I saw her rubbing/squeezing his inner thighs multiple times.
“She acted strangely toward my husband sexually and if he didn’t defend himself, I would.”
Researchers warn that emotional incest is “when parents seek from their children the emotional intimacy that a romantic partner should provide.”
But Mary insists her mother-son relationship is anything but creepy.
“It’s not surprising at all,” she said in a subsequent Instagram video, detailing the “healthy and open” dynamic she has created with her son. “We’ve been ‘dating’ ever since [the boy] Very small. ”
The blonde outlined the basic dating etiquette tips and tricks her kids learned during a recent one-on-one conversation.
“What did he learn last night?!” she captioned the video before checking off the list. “Open doors for his date. Don’t get ahead of your date. Pay attention to their preferences for things (like asking them where they want to sit in the movie, not just where you want them to be).
She continued, “Pulled their chairs up to the table. Learned how to give the waiter a non-verbal cue and signal to pay, learned how to pay for everything myself” and “be creative without spending a lot of money and thoughtful”.
The apparent success of her quirky heritage aside, Mary admits the word “dating” can be “triggering” for trolls who struggle with childhood trauma.
“It’s very sad,” she sympathized in a follow-up clip.
“But there are a lot of women out there who are… dating and seeing what it’s like to date men now,” Mary said. “This is too bad.”
“Women want men who make us feel respected and safe,” she asserts. “This is how I raised my son.
“My goal is to raise a gentleman.”
