Re: When DH is sick/hurt does he tell his mom?
My husband is not like that... but his mother is deceased, so I really can't tell you if he WAS like that or not..
I'm replying because I am the mother of a boy.. And I do read these vents all the time on LIW & LIF and my heart goes out to the moms because I look at MY son and think I will ALWAYS baby him.
true, your DH is a grown man, and for lack of a better term.. he's YOURS now... but maybe it's hard for the mom to let go... you know? My father STILL does everything for me.. I wonder if it annoys my DH...
I'm going to HATE the day I'm not #1 in my son's life..![]()

Re: When DH is sick/hurt does he tell his mom?
hmm well my DH is VERY independent and will hardly even tell me....he plays rugby and is extremely athletic....and he's one of those guys that doesn't like to admit that he's hurting....unless I hurt him cuddling or something ![]()
then he'll be like, oh my shoulder is hurting again....
Not that he keeps things from his mom, he's just very independent in general.....
But I have known guys like your DH....I guess some are just like that!

My DH would tell his parents too. Men cant handle pain and being sick like girls can. They tend to be more babies about it. LOL.

my DH is a total mama's boy. drives me kind of nuts. he still lived at home before we got married (he's 34). and he STILL goes home for lunch almost every day but he tries not to mention it because he knows it bothers me. his mom totally babies him.

thanks! that makes me feel much better, like last night dh was eating dinner and he asked me for a glass of water and his mom was immediately like 'oh no, i'll get it for him' and that i understood, i get why she still wants to feel needed in his life. but your perspective as a mother (and a normal person) really does help me.
also, i def. have my own issues with this so i know i have to kind of work through those also.
don't get me wrong... I'm sure it would annoy the *F* out of me if he had a mom who was constantly doing things for him... I hope i'm able to let go enough not to p*ss off my son's future wife..

I have to say he a real trooper when he is in pain. The only time he gets like that is when we go to the doctor or dentist. Then I'm not allowed to leave his side, unless told to by the doctor.

Re: When DH is sick/hurt does he tell his mom?
since we started living together, his mother is the second person he goes to. but she still babies him whenever he's sick, and tells me what i shoud be doing for him. of course, everytime he's sick, she blames it on the cat (even if it's an upset stomach), and that he shouldn't stay too close to the cat. what really bothers me though, is that when i'm sick, he runs and tells his mother, and expects me to also be babied by her. it's a sweet sentiment, but i've been taking care of myself for a very long time now, thank you!

Nope-his parents are in florida so unless I need to ask them a question about what I should do for him they dont even know.
NOW if I am sick..........I tell my dad![]()

DH would only say something if he was uncertain about it or thought it was serious or needs meds. His mom is a nurse!

Not at all. His parents live in FL and he speaks to them maybe once a week. Plus he's not really the type to want to be 'babied' when he's sick. I'm sure his mom would love to though.

Um, my 46 year old still hasn't let the apron strings be cut.
He has a close bond with his mom, he is an only child and she raised him on her own until he was 7. It does bug me a bit when he tells her a lot of stuff, but when he is sick or hurt, but she knows how much of a baby he can be. Not much that she can do for him because she is 83 and sick herself, but she lends an ear.
That's why after the wedding she made it clear that he was ALL mine now.
