hi tyra my name is vicky, my fiance and I been together for almost 4 years he's mom n I used to get alone great until he moved out n we got a place of our own. After he moved out of her house to live with me she became a two face with me, we have a one year old baby girl. One day his mothe and I got into a huge argument she called me names n cursed at me, he told me he would leave me one day for his mother and that his family is important to him. One day him and I got into an argument he packed up his stuff and he left me n moved back in to his mom house. I love him with my entire heart he's giving me a beautiful daughter. We r his family now why can't he b with the family he created? I honestly believe that he is a mama's boy

Hey tyra, my name is Ebone' pronounced eboney. But I am in a situation right now. I'm 21 and I'm dating a 28 yr old guy. We have been dating for a while and he is the definition of "mamas boy" his mother liked me at first but now she dosent, she tries to persuade him to leave me. She even claims that he dosent need to be with me because I make min wage. She says he's to good for that. But I really need some advice....I changed everything for him, I even moved here to another state to be with him. We have an apartment but I swear his mother is practically in our relationship in every step, she won't let him grow up. I even almost broke up with him because of her. What's a woman to do......

Hi Tyra, my name is Pheone and i am from Jamaica living in Mandeville,i watch your show alot and i find it very interested and informitive and that you are helping so many people to overcome opsticle in there lives, please keep up the good work. From you fan Pheone Burton.

My boyfriend Kody is such a mama's boy! Whenever he is sick he calls him mom for help and he sleeps next to her, he asks her for money...he is 17 by the way. He name for her in his phone is "Mommy" I just have mom in mine..There is times where he doesn't get wut he wants and he says I hate my mom and blah blah blah...

This is certainly a psychological problem but society has made it "Cutsey" by calling it Mama's Boys. The mother is obviously very insecure and fearful of her inability to function as an adult therefore she creates this excuse by saying no one is good enough for her son. The Boyz (because they are not men) are just as insecure so they participate in this behavior. The illness of it is that they always choose strong, independent women that they know mother will not approve of instead of choosing a mousey, weak pushover and everyone would be happy. They choose the stronger women (however briefly) to feel some sense of security before mom destroys the relationship. The mother is fearful and intimidated by the stronger women as they cannot function on their own without this child to rule. Very Sick. My biggest problem is bringing a baby into this dysfunctional arena.

I think that it is a shame that these soo called men cling to their mother's and the mother's allow it...I have a son and although he is only 2 I would never allow him to cling to me as if I am his only life line...Yes I would be there for him in his time of need, but I would allow him to grow as his own person...what these mother's are doing is flat out wrong...not letting their adult children branch out and grow. The one that pissed me off the most was Jerry because he defended his mother like it was o.k. for her to behave like that..both the mother and the ADULT kids need to grow up... I would never keep my son from someone he felt was the one...its sad and they should be ashamed.

Hey whats up sexy pples looking for some hlep wit me and my man we beentogather for 2 ys and he was a mamas boy but not now we bork ttp ggelp me

Tyra why were you hating (lack of a better word I have a small vocab.) on the relationships these guys have with their mothers. In one segment ( Mom and son w/ matching tats) you even told the young lady she held all the power. A relationship is bi-directional. Neither hold the power. The guys seemed to be a really nice guy and the girl were obviously in love. It almost seemed if you were trying to break up that relationship. Jealous? You also tried to make it seem if there was something erotic b/c he and his mother had matching ink... GET REAL! The girl was ONLY his girlfriend anyway no nuptials. When he decides to put her first then he won't be a Mama's boy. Should you be involved THAT much? Just ask the questions. Tyra are you a hater? P.S. Let me borrow a $100!

Wow the mama's boy show killed me! The one that really killed me was the one where the mom and son got the same tattoo! You could tell that girl was tore up! I felt really bad for her! Those guys need to step up and be MEN NOT MAMA'S BOYS!!

HI Tyra,how r u? I have something about the show that I saw yesterday which about "MAMA'S BOY". What I would like to say is that the show was very interresting,but I want to say something to the first couple wich was Sophia and the guy i don't remember his name.He was acting soooo imatmure,he didn't know what he was saying; as you also said he's not ready to be respinsible to have a family.I know that guyd was totaly acting worse than a teenager,I want him to know that he's not ready to have a life and can't handle Sophia.I bet he doesn't have an application on fiel for a job; if he does,I bet he'll take his mama to the interview. WOW!!!! I was mad to see how he was reactiong on the show; so immature and irresponsible. This guy needs to open his eyes; even his mama didnt know what she was saying. I would like to know if he didn't learn anything from the others couples, because they didn'act like him,sure they showed you that they are mama's boy,but u saw that they took responsability and also it can be two sides.For instance,the last couple, the guy showed you that he is a mama's boy.But the way he was talking gave the girl hopes to stick around for a while to see if there will be cahnges.The first couple the guy was talking like the only thing that matters is his mama,also they were against the girl,ofcourse i felt her loneliness,trust me there wasnt love, Im glad and proud because of the decision that she made.Im 21 I've never had a boyfriend before,but I can talk about boys,like I've had one.Sophia, you desrve better than that. His mom is a wheel in his life,but guess what

my husband is a mama's boy and i really hate it. if she calls, he jumps, if she comes over he stops everything for her, sometimes i have to cancel plans if something comes up that deals with her... i want to tell him, if u want to be so much up your mother's butt, why don't u let her move in and i'll move out. i just wish he'd grow the heck up and get off of mom's nip-nip, y'know.

P.S tyra i love you and i wish more woman out there had as much confidence and loved themselves as much as you do because we do come first! YOU'RE AMAZING AND A GREAT ROLE MODEL FOR ALL WOMEN
