Sorry for the delay, I’ve been a little distracted this week and also suffering writers block. I hope to push through for the rest of the week – we shall see 👀.
Before I dive into the highlights of this episode, I have to say I watched the first episode of sMothered and there were things I can’t unsee after that 😳. Definitely not for the faint of heart. I may bow out of this season as the ick factor in s.4 ep.1 was off the charts 💹. We’ll shall see…
But we are here to talk about I Love a Mama’s Boy, so let’s get to it 😁.
Mom Kelly, Matt, and ???: So, after Kelly confronted Brittany at her work, and decided Brittany wasn’t good enough for Matt, he started to “distance” himself from Brittany. But they are getting together for lunch to discuss things. Little does Matt know, Brittany’s “work mom” aka her boss is joining them so that she can interrogate him like his mom interrogated Brittany – twice. To say it doesn’t go well would be a huge understatement 😆. He thinks it’s inappropriate and while he agrees to answer some (slightly probing) questions, he just gets more and more defensive. I actually thought he would throw a tantrum like a 2-year-old. I especially liked when he kept avoiding Brittany’s question about if he was seeing someone else 🤔. Inquiring minds would like an answer (also the reason for the ??? up front). And while no fit was thrown in the restaurant (like he did with Kim last season) he does walk out without so much as a goodbye because he is so insulted 🙄. And then he calls his best friend, or as we like to call her – mom, to vent about what happened. He didn’t have a big problem and even defended his mom from her barging into Brittany’s workplace, but this was inappropriate?!? Give me a break 🤮. I need him off this show for next season. As a side note, he was really trying to play off that he wasn’t calling his mommy to tell on Brittany, he was calling his best friend 😒(and I’ve got just the bridge in Brooklyn if you need one 😜). All women – just say no to Matt (and by extension – Kelly)!
Mom Esther, Ethan, and Leyna: Esther and Leyna meetup with some other women to play tennis as it’s Esther’s “full time job”. I put it in quotes, because besides being a tennis coach (which is not what she said she was), I’m not sure what else she is doing. Just sounded fishy to me, but that’s my opinion. And Esther is still trying to justify her invasion of the bachelorette party to the other women present. Just stop – you were wrong, apologize and move on! Leyna decides it’s time to set boundaries, and even though she’s going to try to be as gentle as possible because she doesn’t want to hurt Esther’s feelings, she knows Esther will still be offended. All she asks is that Esther stop flirting with Ethan (something I’m sure she never thought she would say in her lifetime) and of course Esther disagrees 🙄. Lady, let his future bride be number one in his life! Why is that so hard for most of these women? And, let’s not forget, she’s got three other son’s and a husband, can’t you get what you need from one of them? I think next season we will see Ethan’s twin and his girlfriend fighting the same battle 😆. So, what does Esther do with this request? Runs to Ethan to complain and get the ruling over-turned. How old are these people?!? One cries to his mommy (Matt), and one (Esther) asks the other “parent” (making an analogy here 😁) to overrule the decree of the other. So, they joke about it while dress shopping for Esther’s wedding dress – or two, because she’s having an outfit change thanks to Ethan (enter unsuspecting bridal shop employees confused by this duo). To be fair, Ethan is a clothing designer (for men), but he does have a designer’s eye so it makes sense he would help – maybe? I’m curious to see when the real blowup is coming between the three of them and whose side Ethan will take 👀? Yes, we all know it should be Leyna’s but this is a mama’s boy, so it’s a toss-up🤷♀️.
Mom Nancy, Robert, and Kristy: The moment of truth has arrived – the paternity results are in! Drumroll please 🥁🥁🥁 (hey it’s the best I could do on paper 😆). Robert YOU ARE THE FATHER 🎉. Ok, I didn’t doubt it for a minute, but Robert’s relief at the results has Kristy asking him if he thought it would go differently 😬. I do think that Robert’s mom caused him a nugget of doubt (I mean she was really pushing this theory), but overall, I think he is glad to prove his mother wrong. He is also realizing how truly damaging this has been to his relationship with Kristy. So they print out the emailed results, which were several pages long, and head over to Nancy’s. Now, by a show of hands 🙋♀️, how many people think Nancy will accept the results? I see many of you don’t think so 😆. And you would be right, and there will be no apology for Kristy only declarations that she forged the paperwork (seriously have you ever seen all the data that’s sent? It can be extensive.) and that she tracked down her daughters “real father” and submitted his DNA. To be clear, they showed Robert taking the test and mailing it on camera. But Nancy is going to die on this hill that Robert’s youngest daughter isn’t his just because she doesn’t “look like him”. And my heart breaks for Kristy, no one deserves to be treated the way she is 💔 😔. The ball is now in Robert’s court – will he go low/no contact with mom, or will he and Kristy split? They can’t keep living this way and if Nancy is going to continue to demonize Kristy, she may decide it’s time to protect herself and her daughters from Nancy.
Mom Laila, Shekeb, and Emily: on the topic of people who need to be off this show, let’s finish up this “not a recap” with these people. After Emily realized that Shekeb really is her “soulmate” 🙄, she resolves to make things better with Laila (hah – like that’ll happen 🤪). To that end, she invites Laila and her husband over for dinner. See making nice. For some reason, Shekeb thinks she should make dishes from his culture to impress his mom. Emily says maybe, but it might be nice if she made dishes from her culture. Laila accepts but we find out later that Shekeb’s father, whom we haven’t seen since season 1 (smart man is staying as far away from this as possible). And we find this out when Laila invites Yusura out for a walk and to sub in for her husband at Emily’s dinner. This is where Yusura may become a bit of an asshole for agreeing to this plan. Laila is hoping that by surprising Emily with Yusura, her behavior will be so atrocious Shekeb will have to break up with her. And then Yusura can slip right in and fill that void. I’m not sure what Yusura is thinking, but we shall see how it plays out. And I’m still trying to figure out how Shekeb has never met Yusura (or even heard of her) before this show, as she sees Laila as a second mother?!? I’m beginning to think there are some shenanigans going on with this storyline 🤔. Therefore, they can exit through the gift shop. I don’t need manufactured stories on my dysfunctional shows 😜.
Until next week…
