One mom who is incredibly close with her daughter asked Reddit if the "unique mother/son bond" was real. Her question opened up a discourse on the danger of using terms like "boy mom."
One little girl told her mom that she doesn't like her and prefers her dad and stepmom. But psychology says a child saying this doesn't necessarily reflect their actual feelings.
A little girl shared how she experiences her mom saying her full name, teaching the mom an important lesson about anger and how perceptive and influenced children are.
A terminally ill mom asked for guidance on how to share her life with her newborn daughter, as she won't survive into her childhood. She received an outpouring of support and advice on Reddit from those who lost a parent young.
