northernstar:
if boys are becoming teenager and still very attached to their mom, will they become mommy's boy after they become an adult?
no. but they will still expect mommy to clean and iron their clothes, mop floors and do things for them. -
I doubt many boys will become mummy’s boy…too sissy.
Don’t want him to be sticky too.
He puts his arm around my neck at times. Yes they’ll still expect mummy to pick up after them. My bull-headed brother asks my mother to do certain stuff for him. -

i like this advise!!!
UncleLim"]Boys in transition into young men should be treated differently. They may be more quiet and dislike being touched. I was like that when growing up. My son is like that too. My wife keeps talking to him as if he is a primary school kid although he is already as tall as me and speaks with a deep voice.
But less communication does not mean that he does not love his mother and his family. He appreciates it when you are with him at home although he does not say much. Instead of trying to hold his hand or cuddle him, just give him a playful punch on his arm. Get him to help you do some things at home, like carrying heavier stuff and make him feel useful. Ask him for advice on things like which handphone to upgrade to, and what movies are nice.[/quote]

I believe the father's role at this (teen) age is very important; when they are young the mother is whom they will usually go to. But as they grow older, teenagers need a strong father figure to look up to for guidance, role-modeling, strength, direction. Teenagers tend to rely more upon their fathers for conversation, advice, and just 'being there'. Having said this, it does not mean that they love their mother less, as the mother will always have a special place in their heart.

Haha, totally agrees with Uncle Lim here as that was the way I raised my 2 boys too. Is it a man thing I wonder? :roll: -
Joule:

Good gracious, my mother nags like mad when I misplaced my keys (they were in my pants, in the washing machine) :frustrated: hallo I'm no longer a kid, I misplace my stuff from time to time, get over it already[/quote]haha maybe they still think we are kids cos we sound like teenagers...toddles:

in case I kena :spank: for being :offtopic:, I'd say yup, mums need to be very conscious that we treat our kids in an age appropriate way... somehow mums seem to always be caught in a time warp, even when their kids become parents :yikes: still treating them like kids...
but sometimes I wonder whether I'll be like that next time!! hopefully not!!!! -
Yes, of course, he is just a baby. How I wish we can have good relationship forever.
