It seems to be so common that women baby their sons; I know my mom has done it with both of my brothers.
My mother in law, who I love dearly has also done it to her two sons. Luckily for me my fiancé realized this and decided to break out from under her, this was way before I even met him btw. But his brother on the other hand is incapable of doing basically anything on his own. Here is just a short list of things his mother does for him:
buys him underwear.
cooks him seperate dinner because he's too picky to eat what was originally made.
type out his resume and applies for jobs for him. He had to fill out a form for work and she literally read over it for him and just highlighted the part where he needed to sign and left it on the kitchen table.
Cleans his room when it turns into a disaster, which is every month or so.
Cleans his toenail clippings off the bathroom counter.
Reminds him when he needs to trim his toenails 🤢
She has all passwords to his banking information, he doesn't even know how to access his account online. He also has no idea how much money he makes because he doesn't see his bank account.
My fiancé has tried to talk to his mom about this, telling her it's not appropriate for her to be cooking every day for her grown adult son, cleaning up after him and applying for jobs for him but she doesn't want to hear it. Their father doesn't say much about the situation, which is part of the problem. His brother is mid twenties and doesn't have any disabilities, so there's no reason to be treating him like this.
I'm surprised how two brothers raised by the same parents can turn out so differently. I'm just wondering why these mothers do this to their sons?! My in laws are moving to another province soon, their son will be almost entirely on his own and I know he's going to struggle.
They are the worst, they are also the one's who apologise on their sons behalf and make excuses for him. I heard a mother coddle her son saying if the girlfriend that he cheated on loves him she will come back.. No.. If your son loves someone he wouldn't do that.
