Mzansi reacts to mother's ideal makoti

Relationship Therapy Educator Paula Quinsee explained to Briefly News what a mama’s boy is and whether or not they are toxic:

A ‘momma’s boy’ is a man who is overly dependent on his mother, often prioritising her opinions, wants or needs over other significant relationships, including romantic ones.”

Signs of being a ‘momma’s boy’ can include:

• Constantly seeking approval from his mother before making decisions, even in his adult life, such as clothes, car, house, career and other such purchases or decisions
• Frequent comparisons between his partner and his mother, and expectation of the same level of care from his partner as his mother.
• Unable to set boundaries and allow his mother to interfere in his relationship with his partner.
• Putting his mother’s needs above his partner’s or his own needs.

"The level of dependency will determine whether it is a toxic relationship. It can become toxic when it negatively impacts a man’s ability to form healthy relationships outside of the one with his mother

"He is unable to maintain emotional independence or create a balanced relationship with his partner like if he allows his mother to control or manipulate his decisions to the detriment of his partner's emotional well-being, which can lead to a toxic dynamic impacting everyone in the process.”

Social media users were not impressed with the mom's standards and commented:

@🤔 shared her story of being an uneducated makoti:

"My hubby accepted me with a failed matric; he was studying medicine overseas, so he invited me over, put me through college, and then university. Today, he's a doctor, and I'm a practising psychologist. Each to their own."

@Goddessforreal🧚‍♀️🧿🪬🌈 clapped back:

"Don't forget to remind her we don't cook or clean. We are busy holding our degrees up!"

"As a graduate, neither a degree doesn't guarantee humanity, maturity, respect, compassion and wisdom!"

@Asante Sana🙂🌼flexed:

"I don't have a degree but hired men and women with degrees and PhDs. I put food on their tables."

@Twelve Lands felt sorry for the mom being cooked in the comments:

"Bro, why did you have to get your mom roasted like this? The poor woman maybe never said that."

@Ungishelelani nginengane☹️ turned the tables on the mom:

"I also won't accept her if she doesn't have a degree, drizzle drizzle."

@Lesbar♥️ advised the gent:

"Get married to your mother."
