Comment: Thanks for your submission! I'm primarily declining this draft at the moment due to the work needed in order for it to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. Statements like "These negative results can compromise interactions ..." and "They then translate into self-esteem and attachment issues" read more like a thesis or personal essay, and should not be phrased in Wikipedia's voice. Also, the references don't demonstrate significant coverage of the subject, leading me to question its notability. Let me know if you have any questions! (please
mention me on reply; thanks!) —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 02:08, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

The term "boy mom[1]" is used when a motherly figure favors their sons over their daughters, physically or psychologically, in terms of hormonal and physiological factors regarding relationships and connections to mothers.[2] When some mothers view their sons as their "golden child"[3] and view their daughters as a reflection of themselves, it exhibits what is claimed to be "boy mom" behavior. Beliefs behind such motives of the mother's behavior stem from the idea that a mother's role in childhood[4] is crucial, thus allowing these intentions to come to fruition at early stages of child development when reliance is placed heavily on them. Some studies have shown that the treatment that mothers give their children may be based upon events that they had gone through during their childhood, thus invoking things such as stressful habits[5] or even anxiety and depression. Due to these factors, it is essential to understand the variation of relationships[6] between daughters and sons and how the term "boy mom" can be assessed through such circumstances.
Many credit the Mindset of "Boy Moms" to ingrained misogyny[7] and, as a result, leave a strained relationship between a mother and her child in the long term. This treatment is accredited to the negative development[8] within a child as they grow up because of either a lack of attention or the overabundance of negative interaction. Consequently, many grown women have a strained relationship with their mothers, claiming, "I hope I don't turn out to be like her."[9] These negative results can compromise interactions not only with the mother but also with those from outside environments. They then translate into self-esteem and attachment issues.[10] However, many mothers that contribute to this, experience a similar situation with their mothers during their adolescence.[11]
