If you’re a boy mom, this will hit hard.🩵

Showed it to my son. It's so true, it's why we're so hurt when they get annoyed. They're our babies even while we teach them to be strong men, they will always be the babies we held in our arms that we love with everything we have.

I told my son (now 26) that every time I talk to him, my mind sees him at three years old walking the the house with his arms behind him pretending to fly. That is all I will ever see.

It's sad they don't all realise until we tell them, I guess when they become parents they'll understand more. Mines the same age lol loved it when he was three, that's the age when he'd want to splash in puddles lol. Best thing we got to do is be their mom's/mums.

Ditto and I sent it to my son who by the way still lives with me and is 25 and I have him on my Life360Z🤣🤣🤣

Blessed! 🙌🏻

My son sent me this today! Brought tears to my eyes. I was just babysitting his son yesterday (mirror image of my son). It definitely hit hard for me!

amazing! ❤️

My little Boy’s wife just had his 1st little Boy this past weekend🩵

I lost my Mom, and am so glad that I called her on her Birthday (day before), to wish her well, and let her know that I loved her. I was at work, on break, and didn't really have time for a long talk, but thought of her and wanted her to know it. You only get one... 🥲

@WEdwarda Omg i need a tissue 🥺

@WEdwarda for real! 🙌🏻❤️

This is all parents .. as a father of two sons this is exactly how I feel and exactly what I try to explain to my soon to be 18yr old

@SzydloCarol Here’s my little Luke that I have on the fridge. He’s 31 now but so true all I see is this little guy.

Yup, parents will always see their children as the little girls and boys the carried as babies. Understanding that more now that I have my own kid 🥹🥹

🙌🏻❤️

I'm not crying!!! 🥹😭 All of this is true. She will always see you as the sweet little boy she held in her arms for the first time. Always! She will never stop wanting to make sure you're safe, loved, and taken care of, her heart always needs to make sure you’re okay, no matter how old you are! I will never stop being a mom to my babies. I will of course respect their space and boundaries as they grow but I will always see them as my little babies and be there for them.

This will forever be my favorite painting ever. My son & I ❤️

This hits hard, even harder when your mom is no longer here. Wow. Everyone needs to see this, it may just change how you treat your parents, before they're gone.

I was the only girl between two brothers and you would think I would the “princess” nope they were spoiled. My mother babied them obsessively. You know what happened? They became so dependent that it stunted their emotional growth. Neither have married the mother of their children nor supported them. Me…. I am the only one to graduate from college. Married and have 3 beautiful daughters. So mothers of boys: please be sure to teach them how to be amazing, strong Men with integrity.

@I_shiht_zu_not Yep. I'd walk through fire for each one of them.

I left for Parris Island at 17, mere weeks after graduating high school. When my Mom saw me in September, I was in a Marine uniform, my bearing had been permanently changed. It shocked her. Love ❤️ you Mom.

Well... Now I'll have puffy eyes in the morning 😭 Also sending this to every other boy mom I know ♥️

Every moment I get with my adult children is like stealing bites of dessert. You want more, you can only have a little and each bite is heaven.

Yes...Blessed when you have a mom that is like that. Some of us had Aunties, Big Sisters, or Grandmas that did that job.

All of this. Mine is off to college. Last night, my phone rang after midnight and woke me up. It was him, panicking because it appeared he had unauthorized charges on his account. I didn't get mad, I woke up, walked him through the issue, then sent him some money for a run to get food. After I hung up, I smiled and just thought to myself, he still needs me. He's still my little boy, and always will be. 🥰

@Im4real7 Even when they grow so much bigger than you, they are still your baby

Oh God, crying now! So true! I adore my son who is definitely still my baby (despite what he thinks) at 21. (My daughter will always be my little girl too).

@StilettoRadio I lost my mother in Jan ‘25…she was 90…💔

I love my boys❤️

That’s a really great TikTok account. If you’re not following him, you should!

TY

my youngest is 30 and we haven't talked in a year now. I don't even know who is his now - It's really awful, considering I was the one who raised my 4

Damn this just made me miss my mom terribly. It's been 11 years (February 25th) since she died. She was my only parent, so it has cut like a thousand knives to miss her every minute of that 11 years. Without her it's almost as if my childhood has no record.

the cure for enmeshment is self-actualizing

I miss my mother - she has passed away. Believe me, nobody will ever love you more than you mother did. When your mother dies.... you lose your number one fan.

So true and perfect for National Sons Day! 😭😭😭😭💙💙💙💙

How wise is this kid,, that he understands the deep bond between mother and son at his age!!! And is able to articulate his feelings in such a strong and emotional way!!! Beautiful!!

My husband lost his mother when he was 30 and this hurts me, he was such a Mommy’s boy

I’m not crying you’re crying 😢

I remember my sons when they were little but it's not what I see when I look at them. I see them as grown men and I cherish them as they are now maybe a little more than I cherish the memories of who they once were, because they're maturing into their full selves.

There are plenty of spoiled mama’s boys in the world, we don’t need more. Mothers are not owed anything because they were mothers to their sons. Appropriate boundaries change as the child grows into an adult.

They always need you. Mine are 3 and 5 and they are my world. I don’t want to be their world when they’re older. I want them to live their life with no obligation to me. But I how they get to an age when they realise this. I hope I’m alive to see it
