It’s That Time Again – Talking Mama’s Boy

I know that I am slowly converting you all to fans, Mwahahahaha….

This week was surprisingly quiet for I Love a Mama’s Boy but I think it’s a good set-up for the rest of the season. I am still stunned that these moms and sons see nothing wrong with their relationships 🤯.

And off we go…

Theous, Tia, and Carolyn (mom): It’s the last day of their Vegas vacation and it appears that Theous completely abandoned the entire trip Tia in order to gamble with mom. Theous and Tia finally sit down for a meal together where she tries to express how angry she is, but he thinks it’s all a big joke, which just fans the flames. It turns into a forest fire when he takes a call from his mom, after repeatedly ignoring her calls the entire trip. Tia is basically left feeling as if she imposed on Theous and Carolyn’s vacation. In an odd aside by Carolyn, she basically states that she will be moving in with them shortly after their return to Maryland. Carolyn has “many plans and many things up her sleeve.” I’m not sure what that exactly means, but I think she is ramping up her efforts to get rid of Tia. There is nooooo love lost between the two of them 😬. I don’t think this is going to end well and if Tia thinks she’ll win against Carolyn, she really needs to sit down and watch this show.

Matt, Kim, and Kelly (mom): I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – RUN KIM RUN! Kelly seemingly does a nice thing by throwing a going away party for Kim, but of course it’s all about Kelly because of course it is. While Kim realizes this, she is still appreciative of the effort, which is gracious on her part Kelly is on some weird kick about it being suspicious that Kim taking this out-of-town job. Apparently, Kim is not allowed to want more from her career 🙄. Kelly goes on to say “I don’t care if Kelly leaves.” Matt then calls her selfish again and I just want to punch his face 🤬. So of course, no one really supports her. Matt spends the last couple of days before Kim leaves moping around the house, so much so that Kelly is, shocker, worried! And then proceeds to baby him. This woman is a whole other level of crazy and I think Kim really needs out of this toxic situation so she can flourish. I therefore stand opening statement 😁.

Mike, Steph, and Liz (mom): This is just a train wreck of a situation. Liz is back home with Mike and wants to have an adult conversation about where things are going because she needs to make choices for her career (hmm sensing a theme here 🤔). While she is genuinely frustrated with him, she tries to have a civil conversation and he tells her to stop yelling at him (she wasn’t by the way) and storms off like a two-year old having a tantrum. Shortly after he leaves, Liz arrives and Steph she spills her guts to Liz, even calling her out for interfering in their relationship. The conversation is pretty civilized all things considered. Liz then calls Matt to see if he wants to talk and of course he won’t come home. So mom meets him at the park and gives his side. He’s not ready to get married for another three years, he doesn’t want to hold Steph back in her career, he saw his mom get hurt and he wants to be sure Steph is the right one (because three years together is not enough time to determine that apparently 🙄), blah blah blah. Here’s my take on it – The two need to come up with a timeline. He doesn’t want to get married for three years, fine but why not get engaged and ask for a long engagement. Steph will get the commitment she seeks and maybe then she will feel justified in staying. Do I think that will solve all their problems? Probably not, but maybe it will get them talking. Mike needs to stop relying on his mother for all his decision making.

Last on the list this week, Bryan, Tracy and Jayne (mom): Back from their honeymoon, Tracy is still pissed that Jayne relied heavily on the hotel sitting service to watch her children, instead of watching them herself, as was the agreement. Apparently, Jayne needed Jayne time, but Tracy and Bryan didn’t need their time. So ridiculous 🙄. Tracy should have stuck to her guns and left MIL and kids at home. She decides on a new tactic as a way to set natural boundaries, thus Operation Find Jayne a Man is hatched. Tracy knows that Bryan will be pissed because he needs his mom to be at his beck and call apparently and she’s mare than okay with this arrangement. But she agrees to try dating and Tracy helps set up her profile. I fear this will not end well 😳.

That’s my “not a recap” for the week. Sometimes you need a palate cleanser and this was a perfect week for it.
