Nature/Nurture: Moma's Boys -made or born that way?

[Aliantha]

Yeah, maybe. I just don't know. The waters are so muddy. I think both of my husband's have left a bit to be desired in the way of modelling what it means to be a man -from my perspective. They both seemed to like sitting on the couch all the time. Not a great thing for young boys to watch all the time. To Daryls credit he was working a lot of that time, but still, I don't think it's a great example for kids to think it's ok to just sit on the couch all the time.

That's why I occasionally lie flat on the couch. To mix it up a bit.

So.... these ones are definitely made/wishful thinking. Today a normally quiet and always pleasant classmate said -after Momma left- words to the effect of "could she shut the fuck up?"

She went on for three entire hours about her boys. She did not stop talking the entire class. Although for twenty minutes it was a loud cellphone conversation rather than directed at the rest of us. Still about her three boys. Who are all mama's boys and can't manage without her (except, apparently, when she has pottery class)
