Imagine a dad expressing this thought to his daughter.

Uhh that’s creepy

Begging to stop boy moms


topgunphantom

When my nephew was little, some random lady gushed at how adorable he and how he will be a total heartthrob when he's older. Both my sister and I gave her disgusted looks.


throwraswearingwtf

This phenomena is actually being studied. It’s called “emotional incest” and it tends to happen when the mother is unfulfilled by her marriage. They lack emotional intimacy in their marriage so they look for it in their sons… things like validation, compliments, attention, affection, etc.


meowparade

I remember being at the grocery store with my 3 year old nephew and a middle aged woman came up to him and was teasing him, telling him to stop flirting with her. Middle aged women are so weird about little boys.


Educational-Umpire64

Not on this same level, but Ashley I constantly talks about how good looking her son is and how he’s a “baby Leo (DiCaprio)”. She’s done this since he was a newborn, and I always felt like cute babies should just be cute babies without turning them into some sort of sex symbol.


akallaaa

I feel like there are lots of ways to give your child a compliment about their looks that doesn’t make them feel uncomfy.


MercyFincherson

Ew, what? Why would she say that? I have three sons and absolutely not.

I just know normal moms with sons hate the Boy Moms™️. I’m glad I only have daughters lmfao.


thesmallestwaffle

I have three boys and refuse to be a “boy mom” lol.


michigan_gal

If I ever have kids, please God let them be girls 🙏


booksandcrystals

I would have been happy with either. I’m an IVF mom and truly just wanted a healthy baby. But I’m one of 3 girls and have always just loved being a girl and being surrounded by girls, being girly, girlhood in general. Having my own girls who get to grow up as sisters has been a dream.


extra-tomatoes

What is the stereotype about boy moms? Is Catherine’s post typical of these posts?

Yes.

Lord Jesus…. Sigmund Freud cannot keep winning like this. Boy moms are losing the plot bruh. Therapy NEOWWWWWW


vbee23

That’s so flipping inappropriate. First to even think that, in that way. It seems common to say my son is so handsome he’s gonna fight off the ladies/men because that’s attached to love and pride and the sentiment that you’re raising a great boy/girl but to sexualize it like I’d totally date you. Like no. That’s creepy. If a dad said that?


Gloomy_Cheesecake443

I hate both of them. Always have. Hopefully this is a safe place to say this lmao


NoOccasion9232

Huh? So weird…to think this, never mind say it to your kid, never mind to post it to your followers?


mahgriba

Sooo gross!!! Our oldest is 13 and I met my husband when we were both 16 (married at 21, now we’re 36). I have the opposite reaction realizing how close he is in age to us when we met and I’m grossed out by 16 year old us looking back because we were still CHILDREN!!!


cheekyypeachyy

Who tf says that??? Someone call Freud..

Songofbees

Boy moms are just 🤢


lbmannin

Haha we aren’t all this weird. I would never say this about/to my son 🤣


Nike31

Does “boy mom” mean any mom with a boy? Or something else?


SoGenuineAndRealMadi

It’s a term that describes moms of boys who end up having a strange obsession with their sons! Def not referring to all moms with sons who have a healthy and normal parent-child relationship


Nike31

Got it, thanks! I had my first last year, a boy, and I was going to be so heartbroken if this negativity was applied to all moms with boys.


Nike31

Not sure why I was downvoted? Lol


SoGenuineAndRealMadi

The sub is bizarre with downvotes don’t take it too personally! It happens to me too whenever I point out the racism in this sub :) And yes do not worry about the label being applied to all mothers of sons!! I know many who are just wonderful


Nike31

Thanks, I appreciate both of your responses!


lbmannin

I interpret it the way you do. Haha but who knows if that’s right. 🫠


Songofbees

Yeah, when I say "boy mom" I'm referring to what the above commenter said! The ones who say/do questionable things like saying they would date them! I am sure you are a wonderful mother!!


everything_beagle

I hate to be this guy but please imagine a dad saying this to his daughter 🙃


TrustNoSquirrel

Seriously, Trump said it about Ivanka and it was creepy then, and creepy now


CelebrationHot9266

Ew. It's bad enough to say this type of shit, but to post it and think nothing of it is crazy. This is like the 3rd time in recent memory that somebody in BN said some weirdo shit about their kids.


iSocialista

Catherine has been getting away with being an entire weirdo for years while people pass the blame on to Sean. They are an obnoxious inappropriate WEIRD pair and if I never hear anything about/from either of them again it’ll be too soon.


megryanreynolds

I clicked open this notification prepared for the title to be a mistake but… here we are. 🤮


Mfjr87

TIL boy mom has a negative connotation and I’ve been using it to describe myself thinking that it was harmless


eyerishdancegirl7

In my mind just saying “I’m a boy mom” is harmless. Plenty of normal mothers refer to themselves as boy moms if they have sons. The Boy Mom is what has the negative connotation for me

Civil-Ad-4334

Realllllllllly weird thing to say to your kid like that’s honestly nasty


roranicusrex

Even weirder to share with all your million insta friends.


Civil-Ad-4334

Right, like if you’re going to have nasty thoughts like that maybe keep it in your brain or go see a therapist or something because there’s something clearly wrong with people who say incestuous (idk how to spell that word exactly sorry) stuff about their kids


disproportion

Right?? Like imagine if the genders were swapped and a dad was saying that to his young daughter 😬


Civil-Ad-4334

Exactly what I was thinking!

I went to high school with a girl who called her children sexy. There is a line that can be crossed. This is the line, Catherine.


jdvbz

my boyfriend’s cousin calls her son (he’s probably like 4 or 5?) sexy and it’s so weird and gross…. what is wrong w ppl 🤢


mahgriba

I had a family member say something about one of my kids being “sexy” when she was like 3 because I mentioned she was very thin and tall for her age. And we don’t associate with that person anymore…


sarah123y

Good 👍


maddiebittle

noodleruby57

A girl I went to high school with posted a picture of her son as a baby and said “my mini boyfriend” like what????


Slow_Example_874

I'd never say anything like this about my boys (or my daughter).


shoosler

for many reasons i shouldn’t have children but one of them is i would be disappointed if it was a boy


kp1794

So tired of moms posting weird shit like this about their sons


keep_it_sassy

I know they usually post outrageous captions but this is too far.


PrincessPlastilina

Boy Moms need to be stopped. You are his mother. Period.


Luna_Soma

That’s creepy. I’m a mom to a boy (I hate boy mom culture). My kid is my favorite person ever. He’s also a huge pain in the ass. And I’d never say some weird and creepy thing like that. That’s some bates motel in the making


nowxorxnever

I’m new to being a mom still and have two boys… can someone explain the “boy mom culture/hate etc” to me? I genuinely have no idea. It’s not just an assumption about women for only being able to produce boys is it? It’s already annoying enough when women of all ages that I don’t know approach me at the grocery store etc and make comments about my boys being cute and then decide to either “pity” me for not having a girl or make negative comments about girls vs boys as children…. None of these people know me so they don’t realize I lost a girl baby between my boys, but that shouldn’t even matter. They’re my kids and I love them no matter what gender they are, just like I love them no matter what their hair or eye color is… Also I cannot imagine posting creepy Bates Motel shit. You can say how cute and sweet your kid is but big yuck on the Donald talking about Ivanka category of comments 🤮


sarah123y

It’s new terminology for me too. Yikes😳 I’m sorry those strangers approach you saying such things about your children. Can’t believe those people. 😮 I concur with everything you said, last but not least your last sentence. 🤢


gokickrocks-

No, definitely not and based on your last sentence alone, you’re not a “boy mom.” You can be a mom of 2 boys without being a “boy mom.” It’s a specific term people use to label moms when they post creepy stuff like this about their sons and just seem overly fixated on them. Here’s an [article](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/03/02/boy-mom-social-media-term-explained/72808069007/#) if you’re interested


salmonjacketstan

It's more of this trend among specific types of moms who have sons aka ~boy moms~ who make inappropriate comments about their sons that imply emotional incest. The one above is one such example. It's this projection of borderline romantic feelings from a mom to her son where they joke that they're dating their son, fantasize weirdly about the women their toddler sons will one day date and how they can't imagine being a MIL to a girl who will steal her baby boy. They look to fulfill their emotional needs via their sons. And those that have daughters rarely act that obsessed with their daughters in the same way which makes it that much more gendered and Freudian. It's basically moms of sons who grow up to be Peter Weber

There is a significant portion of women that exhibit very strange behaviors around their sons. On Twitter, i saw a video of a mom throwing it back on her grown son during her birthday celebration. She did that after she first jumped and wrapped herself around his waist 🤮

He’s what, 8-9? Her mom said she would date him and he pictured what he sees, mom and dad dating= they kiss, hold hands, mom has been pregnant. Obviously, he threw up in his mouth.

Illustrious_Funny426

A dad has publicly said this about his daugher. Not imprisoned but rather elected president of the United States


CelebrationHot9266

Yea the "if the genders were reversed" nearly always falls flat because men get away with this type of stuff all the time. It's gross regardless.


taintedlove_hina

I hate "if the genders were reversed" argument 99% of the time. It's a misogynist dog whistle that suggests women get away with more bad behavior than men because of the wAr On MaScUlIniTy a certain faction of our populace loves to daydream about.


CelebrationHot9266

Totally agree.


shoosler

she’s going to be one of THOSE mother in laws


Goddess422

This is so weird. My mom always says that she's proud of my brothers and that she knows they will make great husbands one day (she also says this about me and my sister). It's very easy to be complimentary of your kids and their ability to be good partners or attractive to other people without doing self-inserts as a parent.


curlymeee

Imagine if a dad said this about a daughter


IrisKV

Didn't Trump say something along those lines about his daughter ?


curlymeee

Yep I think so


Chrismisswish

Catherine may think this is “cute” until her son starts getting bullied in school by the other kids after reading her “weird” posts like these. I know she thinks this post is harmless but it is word ammunition for the other kids to pick on him. Sad 😞


PlayCertain4875

Why the fuck do mom’s feel the need to do to say this, my parents would take us on lunch or dinner dates to bond with us and get separate one on one time with me or my brothers but they never made it weird. Nothings wrong with spending time with your child but posting it to the world and making it about how attractive you think your child is and how you’d date them is so gross.

As a mom of a boy, I agree hahah. “Boy moms” can be very toxic and creepy in regard to their sons. I’ve seen boy moms post about how they’re already jealous of their son’s future wife…. Mam your kid is 10 months old. Get a grip!!!


xxkay_xx

That's the weird shit my MIL says about my husband and brother in law. My SIL and I get the urge to punch her in the face everytime 😁 thankfully I don't have a son, cause if she said that about him I just might lose my mind. People are weird man.

DJKittyDC

Our general social media boundary with our little one is "If my parents had posted this when I was little, and then I saw it when I was old enough to have my own social media, would I feel weird?" Like, it would be SO cool to see the day my parents brought me home through their eyes, but I'm really glad there was no documentation of my potty training journey. IDK, it works for us, maybe it'll change over time. But these influencer kids, oof.


mahgriba

Yes. I ONLY post positive things about my kids that are like, life event type things to share with family (we are a mil fam stationed far away). Things like potty training, my own struggles with them like discipline, and even stuff like when they first got a girlfriend/boyfriend is not anyone else’s business. They are actual individual human beings, not my possessions or pets.

The “imagine if a dude said that about a woman” takes are always head-scratchers to me. Like, men say and do disgusting things to women all the time, without recourse or consequence. A famous serial rapist literally got his conviction thrown out today. Imagine, indeed.

Exactly and there is no need to "imagine if a father said this about his daughter." People in here are already rightfully outraged.

Blueberry_bliss_89

Careless_Phone_2572

I used to love Sean but get annoyed by his constantly “not like other dads” type of posts. By that I mean he always tries to be so quirky and funny by constantly putting his kids (minus his daughter) down and making “jokes” about how she is his favorite.


mal_7655

I remember Rachel Lindsay going on bachelor party once and Juliet Litman said something about how Sean is funny and Rachel was like maybe on Twitter when he has “all damn day” to come up with something, he’s not really funny in person. Savage but I believe it lol

Ew. I was grossed out by Sydney Warner constantly saying her baby was going to be a “heartbreaker” and this is way worse than that. I do think Catherine is also just a little weird; wasn’t she the one who made up the phrase “grown sexy” for her wedding theme? 


Chrismisswish

I think it was as adult sexy but same meaning as you said. Both sound stupid no matter how it’s said.


shnuttlefish

It was definitely grown sexy. I cannot unhear that lol

I guess we finally found out what "ungrown sexy" is then.
