Mothers who raise their sons as mama’s boys have a bad reputation… And they shouldn’t! People thought that Mama’s boys couldn’t have a good relationship with women.
But according to a new book called “The Mama’s Boy Myth”, that’s way off. Mama’s boys actually turn out better adjusted, and actually have stronger relationships.
The author of the book is Kate Stone Lombardi. She interviewed more than 1,100 mothers and sons, and found that boys who were close to their mother had stronger mental health than others boys.
They were more able to talk about their feelings, less susceptible to peer pressure, more likely to wait on having sex, less likely to suffer from depression, and better at communicating.
Lombardi says, quote, “It’s specifically because of the nature of mother-son communication. Sons really need their moms and the last thing they need is a withdrawal of support.”
