Oh this is going to be a season š³. I will say it again, these people need therapy and strong boundaries if they want to have healthy relationships with people other than their MOTHERS! Many of these relationships are cringy at best and damn near incestuous at worst. And they willingly share this with the world, thinking this is normal š¤¦āāļø.
With that is mind, letās get this crazy ride started š¢.
Mom Laila, Shakeb and Emily: Yep, Emily is back š±! I am not sure how she managed to convince Shekeb to take her back after her behavior at the end of last season, but she also got him to move in with her!?! She basically admits to manipulating him into it by putting his name on the lease but he I guess it was the push he needed š¤·āāļø? He does see his mom regularly, which is not enough for Laila, who would prefer he move back in with her. He wants her to bless the new place, which she will do, if Emily isnāt there. Considering that Emily hasnāt apologized to Laila for her rampage last season, I canāt exactly blame her. I foretell many more arguments, lots of āheās my soulmateā (I heard that a few times tonight š¬) and more tantrums by Emily. My two cents, I think Shekeb needs to go low/no contact with both of them until he learns to stand up for himself. I mean he wasnāt allowed to bring his pet bird because Emily moved in her two dogs (which he says is like living with three Emilyās ššš).
Mom Nancy, Roberto and Christy: They met at the gym and were training MMA. Now Christy is a stay at mom of two daughters (weāll come back to this in a moment), and Roberto is a āfarmer by day, and MMA fighter by nightā. They eloped before their first child was born, which has put Christy on Nancyās bad side as she wasnāt invited to the wedding. Nancy says she didnāt like Christy at first sight, so Christy was screwed from the beginning. Before I go any further, I should mention that Roberto is one of seven sons (mostly adult, I think) so Iām confused why his mom has so much time to focus on him. She is openly rude to Christy even when Christy asks for help in preparing Albondingas soup as it is Robertoās favorite dish. I am not sure how Christy puts up with the anger and disrespect that just rolls off of Nancy in waves. I think to keep what little piece there is, Roberto visits his mom alone regularly (although he said he sneaks over to her house š¬). On one of his visits, his mom decides to bring up the fact that the youngest daughter doesnāt look like him and he should get a paternity test and his brother agrees! They have no other reason to suspect heās not the father of what looks to be like a two- or three-year-old child EXCEPT for the fact she doesnāt look like him when the first child does. And the fact they hate her. He is appalled and angrily leaves Nancyās house. And yet the previews show him asking his wife for a paternity test š¤¦āāļø. Either Christy agreed to do the show to see if Roberto can understand her concerns about his motherās meddling or to decide if this relationship is worth fighting for. Time will tellā¦
Mom Kelly, Matt and Brittiney: Yep, Kelly and Matt back and Kim is not š (see links below). Now in the season finale, Matt stated he āhe did not see this comingā (literally the title of the season 2 finale) in reference to the breakup. Fast forward a few months to filming and itās āmy ex and I decided to call things offā. Revisionist history for $200 please Alex š. Matt still doesnāt have any boundaries with his mom (she walks in on him in his underwear and says āhubba hubba š¬) and he lives on the house 20 feet from his parentsā house. The two of them talk about the how devastated the family was by the break-up (insert hard š here). Now Matt wants to make sure that whoever he dates next understands and accepts their weird ass relationship. Enter Brittneyā¦ they are just ādatingā for now because she has to get Kellyās stamp of approval before attaining girlfriend status (sheās willing to roll with it for the moment). Anyone want to take bets on how thatās going to play out? If you think Kelly is going to greet her with open arms, Iāve got a bridge Iād like to sell you š. And if the seasonās previews are any indication, Brittney may not make the cut (run Brittney run šāāļø). Which would probably be a blessing.
Mom Lorenda, Tre and Abbey: At first, they seem relatively normal. Tre and his mom like to make tik tok videos together. But the more you watch, the more I understand Abbeyās frustration. Abbey has known Lorenda since she was a child and Abbey got together with Tre when they were in high school. You would think that since Lorenda has known her so long that would help. Not when it comes to a Mamaās Boy š¤·āāļø. Now Tre and Abbey have a 7-year old child together and they live together but are not engaged. Their property also backs up to Lorendaās property. So she visits any damn time she pleases ā including making breakfast at the butt crack of dawn since Tre works at a factory and his shift starts really early. And doesnāt care that Abbey is still sleeping because she works hours later š. Poor Abbey canāt figure out where she fits into Tre and Lorendaās relationship š¢. And it doesnāt help that Lorenda doesnāt think she is good enough for her son because āthere is just something missingā. I think she seems like a lovely girl. So far all of the interview scenes have Tre and his mom together and Abbey by herself ā foreshadowing perhaps? Oh, and we have another mom who manages her sonās bills ā as in writes them out and mails them. I do not in any way understand this concept as Iāve managed my own bills since I was 18, when I started having bills š.
Final Thoughts:
- For the families with adorable children ā mamaās you need to leave them alone and stop causing issues. And the sonās need to defend their families, putting them first.
- If the guy your dating says their mom is his ābest friendā take a close look at those boundaries.
- We have one more Mamaās boy to meet next week and I threw up a little in my mouth watching them with each other (he called his mom a MILFĀ š¤¢)
- If you want to see what Kim Cobb is up to, you can read a recent interview hereĀ https://tvshowsace.com/2022/06/07/i-love-a-mamas-boy-will-kimberly-cobb-be-back-for-new-season/. Bombshell ā she was asked back and turned it downĀ š¤Æ. While Iām happy for her, maybe weāll get some sort of interview with her during the season ā fingers crossed. You can also follow her on Instagram instgram.com/kimberlycobbĀ orĀ twitter.com/kimberlycobbb and she has her own podcast titled My Lips Podcast
Those are my impression of week one of who knows how many ššš (ok usually its around 13-15, but weāll see). If you have any interest in reading last seasonās post, just click on the āI Love a Mamaās Boyā tag at the bottom. Until next week My Loveliesā¦
