The conflicting relationship between mother and son

The relationship between a mother and her son can sometimes be complex. We'll explain why.


  • Having a baby boy is an unknown because you can't use your own relationship with your mother as a model.
  • That's why moms tend to be more protective of their sons.
  • Your son may later blame you for being overprotective and a conflict may arise between the two of you.
  • To have a harmonious relationship with your son, try to find the right balance: be available, but let him develop his autonomy.
  • You shouldn't be afraid that he will experience a few failures: this will help him to grow up.
