Mama Drama

Mama’s boys! Ukhhhh.  I always thought they were just fictional characters made up to make the story lines in chic flicks or Sex and the City more humorous and interesting.  Boy was I wrong.  These men are REAL, living, breathing, creatures that live amongst us.  They’re everywhere!  He’s your high school boyfriend (although at the time you thought it was adorable).  He’s the fabulous gay man at Saks who convinced you to buy the shoes you know you can’t afford.  He’s the good-looking businessman you see in Starbucks every morning always on the phone (probably talking to his mama).  He’s the hottie you met at the bar last night.  Hell, he’s your mother fucking husband!

Now ladies, don’t mistake a man loving his mama for being a mama’s boy.  These are two very different things.  Luckily, my man loves his mama (its endearing) but he sure as hell isn’t a mama’s boy.  Unfortunately, some lovely ladies I know haven’t been as lucky.  I don’t know how any person on Earth could handle it!  When the hand that rocks his cradle rules your relationship, you are going to be in serious trouble...

A mama’s boy is the type of guy who can’t make any type of life changing decision without mama’s approval…or he’s too much of a pussy to do anything that might make his mama mad, even though it’s the right thing to do.

For the Boys:
Men, why the hell do you need to ask your mama?  You’re a grown ass man!  Why don’t you ask the people whom your decision might affect?  Your girlfriend, your wife, your best friend, or even your employer…  How is your mama going to help you decide whether or not to take your girlfriend on a romantic trip over the long weekend?  Why don’t you ask her to pack your bag while you’re at it?  Better yet, leave your girlfriend at home and take your mama instead. 

A REAL man makes a decision and sticks with it.  If you are close with your mama, you can surely inform her of your decisions and plans.  There is no need to walk on eggshells or defend yourself because you sure as hell aren’t doing anything wrong!  If your mama is sensitive and should be a bit upset over nothing, you should be clever enough to reason with her and have the balls to make her understand your point of view.  Seriously, your mama isn’t going to ground you just because you want to take a much-needed vacation to relax and get away from the stress of everyday life. 

You need to learn to stand up to her to defend what you love or believe in.  You need to learn to separate your adult life from you’re your childhood life.  You need to learn to do your own laundry and cook your own meals.  It’s time to cut the umbilical cord and stop suckin’ the teet!
