There's a subreddit called '[Stuff] Mom Groups Say' and it's dedicated to the drama that unfolds in online parenting communities.
From those who believe that essential oils cure all diseases to big anti-vax showdowns, the subreddit positions itself as a place to critique the "no judge" culture of these groups.
One of the more popular tropes here is what the internet considers the toxic boy mom. The subreddit's members believe some mothers are just too obsessed with their son's gender. More vivid examples include a fascination with their kid's penis and looking at him as the partner they never had.
Continue scrolling to check out the pictures and let us know in the comments if you also think that these are not okay or if you believe the subreddit is reaching a bit too far.

When You #boymom Too Hard On Instagram, And The Internet Calls You Out
Save the male children. These are the people that shouldn't be having kids.
Nothing says love like your partner saying it's them or your own family. I can get another wife, I can't get another family, and THEY WERE THERE FIRST.

Load More Replies...Ah yes, raising your kids to be surrogate partners because you made poor choices. What could possibly go wrong there? 😬
Just thinking out loud here, but if you never had the man you never had, maybe you should think about whether your kids will appreciate being dragged into this world just to fill the hole in your life
When people post something unhinged, they don't even realise it's unhinged, do they? They look over whatever they typed, go like, "Yup, looks great! I am amazing!" and keep posting 🥴
A solid relationship with a mother is one of the most beautiful things in the world and a good portent for a happy married life.
Women are often credited with fostering emotional intelligence in their children, and research shows that couples with greater emotional intelligence are likely to have a higher degree of marital satisfaction and fewer conflicts.

Mother Of The Groom’s Outfit - I’m Sure The Bride Was Thrilled!
I'd be the one at the wedding to scold the woman for her nasty choice of dress . Because I have all the friends I need, and don't care who I upset. Somethings need to be said!
If a mother of the groom wears that, is she fantasizing about marrying her son??? SICK
What is wrong with her? Why is she standing like that? That dress is not flattering. Looks like a lumpy chicken wrap
Were I the bride, I'd be all, "You go, you lumpy chicken wrap! Good for you! OWN IT!"

Oh My God Finally Someone Said It
...or a girl in her early or mid twenties is baffling to me. I don't know what boy mom needs to hear this but your son is not responsible for romantically furlilling your needs. Your son is eventually going to move on. And your son is eventually going to start a family without you. Yes, he's a part of the family that you created. But you're not gonna be a part of his immediate family forever. Your husband or partner is responsible for emotionally fulfilling you. And if you don't have a husband or partner, you are responsible for emotionally fulfilling yourself. Because our kids owe us nothing. And as a matter of fact, we chose to bring them into this world. So our responsibility to fulfill them and expect nothing in return. It's your responsibility to be the bigger person. And stop fighting with his girlfriend or wife
I don't understand. Can somebody please explain what's the point here?
I'm with you. Maybe the girlfriend eats all their food?
Load More Replies...Silly me, second oldest of 7, 5 boys and one sister, mother to 4 boys. I thought being a “ boy mom” meant be very careful cleaning out pockets when doing laundry, having to cook twice as much of everything, having “Lego “ covered floors and trucks and cars everywhere. Size of cars and trucks grow as they do. These posts are a whole other topic !!!!!
Since a lot of people seem to be wondering about what is going on here, I thought I should provide some context. The image with the mum is from a short video posted by the mum herself, where she makes a sandwich with, what seems like, only chili powder. From her expression this does not seem like a prank, or like it's meant to be humorous in any way. From my point of view this seems like a very childish and passive aggressive way to deal with something the mum feels is a problem.
Lol parents complaining that their kids' friends come over and eat all the food is just a standard part of being a parent. It has nothing to do with being a boy mom, or jealousy over the girlfriend. I bet anything when her son was 13/14 and having all his 13/14yr old boy friends over, they went through the kitchen like locusts.
Uh maybe the girlfriend has some emotional issues, you're lying or she's poor.
However, an unhealthy relationship might lead to what we call mommy issues. Even though it isn't an actual clinical term, the concepts behind it can often be explained through a psychological lens, like the attachment theory.
This theory came from John Bowlby, who figured out that attachment styles formed in early childhood can dictate the nature of a person's relationships in the future. Many times, people who had issues with their mothers develop an insecure attachment style, which can be categorized into three groups:
- Anxious-preoccupied: If you find that you are particularly clingy or demanding in relationships, it could be a sign of an anxious-preoccupied attachment style. It's basically the ongoing concern that your partner won't be around when you need them the most.
- Fearful-avoidant: If you find it hard to connect and generally become more distant and detached in romantic relationships, this can be a sign of a fearful-avoidant attachment style. This happens when someone is afraid of getting hurt, so they close themselves off in order to protect against the possibility.
- Dismissive-avoidant: If you find yourself avoiding romantic relationships altogether, this could be a sign that you have a dismissive-avoidant attachment style. In this case, people typically avoid deeper relationships as a whole because they have proven too difficult to navigate in the past.

This is just my personal opinion but I think it’s wrong to breastfeed a nearly 7 year old child. A 2 year old, fine. 3 is still okay but a nearly 7 year old is not a baby anymore and you need to cut the apron strings
I think we left the personnal opinion 5 years ago. It is just plain gross.
Load More Replies...Research from the University of Reading says that children, especially boys, who have insecure attachments to their mothers in the early years have more behavior problems later in childhood.
The analysis by Dr. Pasco Fearon, from the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences, looked at 69 studies involving almost 6,000 children aged 12 and younger and sought to clarify the extent to which bonds between children and their moms early in life affect children's later behavioral problems, such as aggression or hostility.
Why Do "Boy Moms" Say This So Often
Little boys can love their mommies :P I did until I was 5
Load More Replies...Eww man. And few women want to date momma's boys. Then the mommy's boys sit around and wonder why no woman wants them. The ones who want them are the ones who treat them like they're their child instead of a healthy relationship. It is not your job to take care of the man you're dating like you're his mommy.
This is so creepy. Sad. Pathetic. You sublimate all your power as an equal in your relationship with your husband; to impose an Oedipal complex on your son, using the unfair advantage of being his mother. Pathetic.

Yeah momma is a weird one. But the sentiment, raising ur boy right and him treating her as #1 is good I think.

In any event, was there something I missed that was weird about this post? If so, point it out so I can "eew gross"with you all too!
Point me to it if I'm wrong or missed something, but I think that this is actually a decent one, it is saying that it is ok to let them find love and love someone else more than their mom, I might be missing something though so let me know
#boymomlife
Hey! Look at you stepping outside appropriate social boundaries and being gross!
Imagine being a middle aged adult and calling young girls skanks and whores with your face attached. Sicko.
You were a skank too in the vision of others psycho moms like you. Your mother in law must love your little skank a*s !
I just said something similar. It's highly likely that one of these children is LGBTQ+ and I'm rooting for it to be one of the sons.
Load More Replies...F*****g hell! Is she really calling young lasses and teenagers skanks? Way to bring up your boys hey? 🤬
"The central question we posed was whether attachment insecurity was associated with behavior problems across all the studies conducted to date," Dr. Fearon said. " The results showed quite clearly that the answer to this question is a firm yes."
"More specifically, our analysis showed that children with insecure attachments to their mothers, particularly boys, had significantly more behavioral problems, even when the behavioral problems were measured years later."
The study also recommended the need for treatment studies focusing on attachment and for more research on the significance of attachment between children and their fathers.
Why Why Why Do “Boy Moms” Focus On This?!
How about you stop focussing on your sons' private parts that haven't even gone through puberty yet?
eh it could be a valid concern if she was actually worried abt health issues, she definitely shouldn’t put it online tho
I think you're spot on. The flipside of this is maybe kid number 2 is gonna be average and kid 1 is gonna be under-endowed. I think if she's posting anonymously it's not harmful either. Edit: for anyone who doesn't get it, just substitute penis for any other body part "ear" will do. If you had a baby with ears twice as big as his *toddler* brother you'd have to wonder what was going on and whether you needed to worry, maybe even if there needed to be medical intervention.
Load More Replies...Just in case you're actually now wondering, the actual answer to this is: As babies & toddlers, size is completely irrelevant and can actually vary from month-to-month (especially once the testes have descended). Things tend to settle down during the late toddler period and almost all will eventually end up at the pre-pubescent average. The actual growth of the penis begins at the start of puberty. By the end of puberty the penis stops growing in size, and that is what you'll be left with.
I'm gonna gouge my eyes out with a brooch in honor of these families.
Parents focus on any distinct bodily part of their offspring, especially when they have more than one kid. What would be weird would be having doubts or worries about a baby body part and not investigate because it is a genitalia.
Lady, it's quite obvious that there will DEFINITELY be "issues down the line," but they're not gonna be related to the size of your boys' parts. Seriously, get some help before you TOTALLY screw your kids up!
Why Can't It Just Say 'Mom' Instead Of 'Boy Mom'?
What's the big difference? Paul and Morgan always hate on trans people for finding their identity in gender, yet they do the exact same thing all the time, and at such random moments none the less.

now in between youtuber and boy mom it says "battled infertility for 5 years"... like i'm sorry that happened but her putting it in her insta bio makes it feel like that's just her trying to get attention because of it.
These Boy Moms Are Out Of Control
I'm telling you man it seems like most of these are people from the south and that they wanna bang their sons.
I deeply dislike seeing parents kissing their kids on the mouth
Guys, it was gonna be the tip of his nose (look at the angle and how small she made her mouth... this wasn't a *muah!* on the lips) as sort of a cute little "boop!" kinda thing. Still a bit weird, but not incestuous. Especially when it's your small child that you're cutely "booping" on the nose... but, she had me in the first half, lol. She didn't *actually* go for it, haha. Maybe good prep for when he eventually finds himself in a less-than-perfect relationship. A little strange, but not exactly incestuous and disgusting.
Silliness! I am the oldest of four siblings, two girls and two boys (well, men and women now, as the youngest is 42). We have always felt that our mom loves each and one of us 100 percent. There was never any reduction in the love when a new sibling was born, the love just grew. And, we love her back, 100 percent each.

Personally i see zero logical reasons to have kids, but if there were one, it would be to create a functional, well adjusted, independent adult. This is not how to do that
There needs to be a functional, well adjusted, independent adult to raise one.
Load More Replies...Wow if my boyfriend’s mom had this hanging up somewhere the first time we met, it would tell me a lot about her lol
Why does this happen? Well, the way that mothers treat their children directly correlates with the way their mothers treated them.
For example, one study found that mothers who felt that they were accepted and supported by their own mothers as kids went on to have balanced relationships with their own children; they were more sensitive to their child's needs and less intrusive.
Boymom
It’s a weird word to describe yourself in relation to your crotch goblins, not a personality trait
It doesn't make sense to refer to children as "crotch goblins." Children are people. They were conceived and born the same way all other people were. At what age do you consider yourself not a crotch goblin?

[gendered] Only Boy Moms Know About Adjustable Waist Bands
Right .. because daughters are never tall and thin .. this is just weird

Load More Replies...Mother of long-legged skinny boy here. A total aside note: These are absolutely genius. I cried when he reached the size where they stopped making them adjustable. I'm happy he can now find super skinny pants as an adult.
As the mother of a boy and a girl, these are on all kid's clothing to a certain age. Side note, they should be standard on all clothing, kids and adults. Life would be so much better with an adjustable waist band!
I bought those kind of pants for my niece and my nephew as birthday gifts when they were toddlers, because I knew it would last longer as they grew up and it would've been less hard on my sister's wallet. I don't even have kids and I knew what it was, the boymom culture needs to stop gatekeeping stuff and please stop being creepy.

Did the boy finally realize his mom is a danger to his well-being so the narcissist mom decided to sell her pants?
I guess it was only time there was a #boymom movement online, considering the entire history of most human kind, treating their sons as gold and their girls as an afterthought (societaly, most oarevts live all their kids equally of course) lol, it initially Said sobs instead of sons, rather relevant for this post, no?
Poor Kid. I Feel So Bad For Him. This Is In A Boy Moms Group
Well, if you spank him, you shouldn't be surprised he hits you back. You are teaching him that physical violence is ok.
So basically you're teaching him only those who are bigger and in authority are allowed to hit - good job!
Where on earth could he have learned to use violence to cope with negative feelings? It’s a mystery 🤔
In addition to the violence and alcoholism, I'm concerned about a 15 month old who can't talk. I wouldn't expect full sentences at that point, but does she mean like no words at all? That seems off to me.

But if it makes you feel any better, we humans aren't the only creatures who have trouble with our attachments.
In a recent paper published in the journal Current Biology, Michael Weiss, the research director at the Center for Whale Research in Friday Harbor, Washington, and his colleagues looked back across four decades of life history records of Southern Resident killer whales in the Pacific Northwest and noticed a clear trend.
"Killer whale mothers pay a really huge cost to take care of their sons," says Weiss. That cost is that they have fewer offspring. "And they do this throughout their son's life and never really stop paying that cost to keep their sons alive."
In fact, when a mom dies, her son usually perishes within the next year or two. "We think that is largely because they're seeing a huge reduction in the amount of food they get," Weiss explains.

Tbf that’s like every boy lol. You should’ve seen the boys my eight grade class, one day we were talking about geometry and the word “cylinder” came up. First thing someone says after is “You know what else is a cylinder?”. Then one day she says “Turn to page 69” and you can guess how that went. AND THEN one day someone choked on their water and the teacher asked if they were choking. A boy said “Oh he’s choking on SOMETHING alright” 💀

Crazy. Those people are completely fûcked up. I've got three sons, and three DILs that I love, and it never even entered our minds to intervene in their love lives. When they were younger, girlfriends came and went, some we regretted after they disappeared, having made the error of becoming attached. Some made our boys unhappy, but you can only be there for them and hope you've helped them grow strong enough to weather it. The only time we DID intervene was when we learned one of our boys was harassing his ex on the phone. That, believe me, we put a firm stop to. Give your kids à break, people. Be there for them, but let them live their own life!

In my limited personal experience most "boy moms" I know are married and predominantly in relationships that emphasize traditional gender roles.
