Re: Mothers who want their sons to stay single for life
^ that was totally uncalled for ..
@topic. I have never come across mothers who don't want their kids to get married. Usually desi moms are busy looking for a "chand jaisi bahu" for their sons.
To be honest both mother and son in this case are pathetic. He's 29? He's an adult .. he can make his own choices, if he decides to listen to his mummy then that's his choice. I'd never go for a man like that. He can't even stand up for himself .. how is he ever gonna stand up for you? His mom sounds like a nutcase.
Re: Mothers who want their sons to stay single for life
I'm not asking either one of them to change.... just having seen and heard things for myself... I kinda feel sorry for the guy.... he doesnt seem too happy with the arrangement but wont stand up for himself either.
Re: Mothers who want their sons to stay single for life
These are not desis i'm talking about.
either way. It's pathetic! If you're considering being with this boy you should rethink. As I said. If the man, being 29, can't stand up to his mom now he will never be able to, not even for you.
Re: Mothers who want their sons to stay single for life
Ok... again I don't know where and how people got the idea that I'm considering being with this boy. For the record, I'M NOT. It's something I've witnessed, am bothered by and trying to understand....
Re: Mothers who want their sons to stay single for life
That explains the $40 for laundry lol.
Our desi ammis would actually get offended if you offered to pay them for house chores.
My elder sister stayed with us for months before and after her pregnancy and my BIL made the mistake of offering to contribute towards her living expenses (as in let me pay for her food etc)… he got an earful.
Re: Mothers who want their sons to stay single for life
Its still valid. 90% of you women have been a ***** fest for the past 2 weeks. Anybody gets in your crosshairs you go in for the kill like some mindless zombies. If anything you all need to chillax and think before you post.
Re: Mothers who want their sons to stay single for life
I DO know a desi mother-son pair that's like this. Unfortunately, it runs in the family because his cousin is having the same issue. Both are hitting 32 with no prospect even though they've looked around practically the entire US because no one's "good enough" for the mothers. The boys refuse to put their foot down and are essentially man-childs.
Re: Mothers who want their sons to stay single for life
hmm I really wish he can find himself a loving wife who will be appreciated by the mother in law. IMO I already like the fact that this guy takes care of his mother without complaining about it or seeing it from a negative angle. A mother doesn't have to contribute ANYTHING to the house, other than her love.

Re: Mothers who want their sons to stay single for life
Ok for all the people asking why I mentioned the rent free part.... did you not read what I wrote before and after it? The issue is not her living free.... its the fact that she works, contributes nothing at all ttothe household and yet has a need to mooch off of him for his money all the while verbally and mentally abusing the kid. She has her own paycheck and absolutely zero bills seeing as she lives with him. He pays for all their food (they eat out every single day), household supplies, all the bills, and then has her standing with her hand out asking for money all the time. He complains that he's always gotta help her, but cannot tell her no. She sees him struggling but doesnt offer any help.
As far as laundry goes, when she doesnt live with him he does it on his own, but when she's living there, she insists on doing it saying its the least she can do for him, but then turns around and tells him it costs $40, meanwhile its not even close to $10. Overcharging by $30 is a lie, and its called stealing.
And no, this woman didnt raise him. He was raised by another family until his teens. His mother has a 40 year old son whom she abandoned 25 years ago and has not looked back at since.
Are you for real? Mind your own beeswax.
he is not a KID he is a GROWN MAN, stop worrying about him.
Re: Mothers who want their sons to stay single for life
I really don't know what to think of this post. I have a personal belief that there is nothing we can do personally to pay off all the GOOD our moms have done for us. To even think about EVER asking her for rent is just crazy. And who cares if he gives his mom $40 to do his laundry. TBH, I think he should be giving her way more. There's nothing wrong with this arrangements. Moms are so deserving of anything their kids can give them.
The only thing that DOES concern me is the idea that she may want her son to be single for life. Moms want what's in their children's best interests, so I don't know how much truth there is to this. Maybe she's just picky, but without awareness of all the detrimental effects it has on her son. That is something that can be worked out if the son communicates his feelings to his mom.
He is a grown up man and can do what he has to for himself. I find it applaudable that he cares for his mom (monetarily and in other ways). We need more people like that these days. Elderly abuse and neglect is becoming more dishearteningly common. :(
