.. and their mothers will often take care of them, even up until they are dying of old age.
I just saw a show about mothers trying to find a fitting partner for their sons. I absolutely hated it. While I could laugh about that type of show in the past, now that I am confronted with literal manbabies more often, I despise how those mothers are actually just trying to find someone to do their sons laundry and housework. This isn't how women should be treating each other!
I get that being a mother is really hard and that these women probably just gave in at one point, because their babies didn't turn out the way they wanted them to. But searching for a woman to put into this misery is wrong in my opinion.
Literally all of the men in this show say that they don't care about the looks of a woman, she should be "nice and caring". It's obvious, that they don't really want a real partner at 35+, but rather someone to do the housework, make them food and playing with their probably porn-sick, limp peepee. Most of those guys look like they shower once a week and don't know what a toothbrush is. It's disgusting as hell!
I absolutely LOVE that this subreddit exists and less and less women let LVM use them. I cringe hard, when I think about all the pick-me's who think that the men in the show are worth their time.
Don't ever let loneliness manipulate you into playing maid for a LVM. Don't be his second mother! Even if you are a mother, don't let your son USE you. If he doesn't do his laundry, it's literally HIS problem. If he doesn't cook, HE will starve and it's not on you! Women are NOT slaves to males! We should never give in, it will never end well for us, so we might aswell do what benefits US.

I hate how my MIL-to-be acts like I'm the new mother of her son. She tells me things like "make sure he gets a haircut before X event", "tell him to study", "MAKE him go clothes shopping, when he needs it, don't let him get blowzy".
He is a grown man. Yeah, he might have needed to be told those things, when he last lived home at 17, but come on, that was 10 years ago. I truly can't decide if she just has a really low opinion on her son, or if she thinks it's normal for women to mother their spouses and treat them like little children.

Fortunately, my case is different. She isn't trying to tell me what to do, it's more like she is trying to encourage me to be hard on her son and don't let him be lazy and forget about basic adult things. But it's still weird, unnecessary and quite insulting to my fiancΓ©. I see absolutely no reason for her to have such a low opinion on her son.
When we announced our engagement, instead of congratulating us, she almost scolded my fiancΓ© and told us what kind of rings she was looking at, because she felt like it was time for us to get engaged too... She really said that she wanted to buy me a ring herself and then give it to her son to propose with. What the f**k? Why would she even tell that to us?
I guess it could be worse. One of my friends potential MIL refuses to stop mothering her son and is constantly places herself in their lives. At least mine "gave" him over to me...

Not once but TWICE two different coworkers tried to set me up with their low value sons. They get really upset when you decline the offer acting like they don't know why you are letting a "nice young man go."
