sofia is one good strong balck women and she can do so much better wit her life and jarry lost on one good women for his mom and he is not real man cuz he dont wene step up and be man to have family so so sofia u better of on ur own...
 
I feel sorry for the young women on the show. They obviously came on to talk because they are unhappy in their current situation. They need to lift up their wings and fly away to find someone who cherishes them as much as their family and who can give them the attention and love they truly deserve. I hope the women realize that they can find love with someone who is willing to start an independent life with them all the while still sharing the joy of family when it is necessary and appropriate. Stay strong women and do not suffer. Do not sell yourselves short, you deserve to be happy, each and every one of you.
 
The mothers also need to realize that their sons need to have a life of their own..
 
How will these men EVER grow up if theyre OBSESSED with their relationships with their mothers.. They will never be able to hold a relationship and start a family because they are replacing their possible wife-relationships with mother-relationships. They are too close to their moms because they are afraid of reality and starting their own life on their own. They all need to GROW up and start realizing that life doesn't revolve around them and their moms. Obviously, the reason Jerry went to live with his mom was because he was probably too immature to tell Sophia that he wanted to end the relationship.
 
I was extremely disappointed to watch another black woman encourage her son to leave a relationship where he has a child with that woman. When will the black family wake up! It’s time for US to encourage our children to make right choices, and if they make a mistake on the way, try to WORK on the relationship first. I bet Jerry’s mother doesn’t have a man, because if she did, she would encourage her son to work on the relationship, since Jerry didn’t grow up with his father. I could see in Sophia’s eyes, she didn’t want be label as another “baby mother”, however, a wife. Even though Jerry said he’d be in his child life, oh please, we all know the truth! There’s more to the growth of a child then giving child support. I wish Tyra encourage the couple to go to counseling, and if it still didn’t work, then they should go their separate ways. Hey mama if Sophia can’t cook, why didn’t you offer to help her, that could have given you chance to try to build a better relationship. There’s a Jamaican saying, you’ll pick and pick till you pick sh*t. Good luck Sophia, if you and Jerry didn’t reconcile.
 
tyra, my gay-dar ( as in radar)went up when i was watching that guy, who's rachel's boyfriend. he is using his mom as a shield so as not to admit he is so.... gay.they might be doing it in college but he was still trying to find himself at that time. he just can't come out and admit it, that he is gay.

i would just like to tell your first guess to LEAVE THAT LOSER alone!!! you have a child together but the best thing you can do is to work on co-parenting with him and that is it. He doesn't deserve you girl. You are 2 beautiful for that. his mother is being selfish not letting him go and she's really doing a disservice to him because he won't ever become a man as long as she treats him like a boy and he acts like a boy. he doesn't want to be with you, consider it his loss. there is a man out there for you who will love you and who will love your kids as if they were his biological children. i know it hurts because i've been there but you have to find the strength to move on. YOU CAN DO IT!!!
 
Hello Tyra, First of all I would of ask all 3 men if they believe in God and the Bible because if they do they can go to Genesis 2:24 and Matthew 19:4-6 and it will tell you Therefore shall a man leave is his father and his mother ,and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be as one flesh. P.S. I love your show continue to do great things, You Have a Bless Day Johnnie Payne
 
A Mama's Boy is a deal breaker for me. It's one thing for a guy to be family oriented, but it's another thing for a man to put his mother's needs before his wife's. Just because a guy is a mama's boy does not necessarily mean he'll be a good husband to you; it could mean that no matter how horribly he treats you, his mother will always side with him. I'm sure the last thing a woman wants his for her mother in law to butt in and tell her how to be a wife and mother, or to constantly throw her two cents in when there's a minor dispute in the household.
 
Stay with your men. They are warm caring and loving. Their relationship with their mother is precious . Think of what wonderful fathers they will make. Having a great relationship with their mother doesn't mean they love you any less. There is room in their heart for both women.
 
This black boy.. with his big mama who's girlfriend had a baby. Sorry didn't get the names of these players but wow, this girl needs to back off this boy as once he's this type of mama's boy, he will never grow up. She does deserve more. This big mama who sleeps in the same bed with his boy and who says he can never leave if he chooses, has some big problems. This kid has big problems. If I was this girl, I would run as fast as I could.
 
Wanted to give my input on Mama's Boys. I married one 40 years ago this May. For a long time I felt like second place in his life. But as I matured I realized that he was good to his Mother because he really did care about her. Now she is 92 yr old and in a nursing home. Most of the time she has no idea who her son is. This is so hard for him. So girls always remember if he treat his Mother good he'll treat you the same. Not sorry I married a mama's boy.
 
Being a mama's boy can be fine. But mama has to learn to let go and encourage her boy or girl to move on in their live's. A parents job stops at a certain point ( before 21) and then just watch. Then see if their child was listening. But the parent has to move on, not try to be their childs best buddy, that is not a parents job to keep playing with their 21 year old child, you end up crippling your child. Both parties have to let go and grow up, they can alway visit 1- 2 times a month.
 
It's wonderful when a man is close to his mother but there comes a time when your priorities and responsibilities take a shift. The one thing my husband said to me was, "You are my number one, aside from God, but family is second and so on and so forth." His family is important but the reason a man leaves his family is to start one of his own. Like the bible says, a man will leave his mother and cleave to his wife. There has got to be a balance, and these guys are so used to being babied and taken care of that they have no idea how to take care of themselves without their mother to hold their hand. To be a true man and grow up they have to let go just as their mother's need to let go.
