I don't really want him to stop being one, but I wanted to know when I could expect it.

My youngest has always been a snuggly Mama's boy, whereas my oldest son was equal in his preferences and then quickly turned into a Daddy's boy. My little one, who will be 3 in a few months, thinks that I'm wonderful and always wants to know if I'm coming on errands with the guys, and is extra lovey to me. If he has to choose, he will always choose me and he's always hugging and kissing me.

The other day, when the kids were looking at dh's and my wedding picture, my little guy said that he wanted flowers and a necklace at his wedding "like Mama". Then, today, when I said something about him growing up big like Daddy, he said, "No, I grow up big like *My Mama*." He totally melts my heart and I'm afraid that he'll magically turn into a Daddy's boy like my oldest and then they'll go off and do fun guy stuff together. When does that happen? I want to know how much more I have of the "Mama is my girlfriend" stage. Sigh.

My DH is still a mama's boy. It makes them good husbands. Keep up the good work!

Never, I hope. My ds who is about to turn 12 has always been my little cuddle bug and still sits in my lap and hugs and kisses me (even in full football gear, ouch!) and doesn't care who sees him. He totally has his own interests and loves to do "guy stuff" like play football, baseball, climb trees, go fishing with his buds, but he always comes home and gives his mama a cuddle.

I hope not. My seven year old is still a mama's boy, even though some of his classmates tease him. If he ever decides to get married, he's going to make some woman a heck of a wife.

My 5 year old son is very much still a mama's boy. When he was 3 he said he wanted to be a mama like me!! But recently he has started saying he wants to be a daddy (a stay at home daddy though!!). I too hope my son never stops being my boy!!!

My son was all about mama all the time. I couldn't be out of his sight even to go to the bathroom. Then suddenly shortly before he turned 4 it was like I dropped off the face of the earth. He could care less if I was around. If he gets a booboo he goes to daddy. If we are both going somewhere he wants to go with daddy. If daddy is taking out the trash he screams if he doesn't kiss him goodbye. If he wakes up and daddy has already gone to work he gets hysterical until we call daddy on the phone so he can say good morning. It's like I don't exist any more. I feel so rejected now. If daddy is not around he will come to me, but if daddy is home forget. I'm just so much leftover garbabge. It's a horrible feeling. I know that it's good for him to hang around daddy. But daddy totally neglected him for the first 3 years of his life. I was the sole parent. Now it's like I never existed. It's so frustrating for me.

For those of you who still have mama's boys, enjoy it. I feel like I've lost mine forever.
