00:00what about the concept called mama's boy yeah it happens but why does it happen so there's a study
00:05that I quote in the book where they looked at thousands or several hundred women new mothers
00:09and how they related to their infants and most of them related very well some were not that
00:13available and some were extra doting and extra coddling you might say with the infants they
00:19looked at the adults 35 years later the people that were the most independent and successful
00:23and self-actualized were the ones that were super loved by their mothers and the conclusion of the
00:29researchers was you can't love children too much now the case that you describe is not too much
00:34loving but loving that comes from a very anxious place so these mothers that coddle their kids when
00:39the kids doesn't need coddling they're not doing it because the child needs it they're doing because
00:42they need it those are the mama's boys you want to call them that but the mama's boy is just a very
00:47anxious person who downloaded his parents or her parents anxieties
