Relationships: How to Tell If You Are Mothering a Man, the 5 Major Signs

Women Are Born Helpers, but Watch Out, You May Be Mothering Him!

Are you just being helpful to your man, or could you be mothering him? Most women were brought up as children, to be helpful. This is just part of who they are. They don't think twice, about extending a hand to anyone who needs it. So, what happens when this helpfulness is extended to the man they love. Does it become mothering? Could you be guilty of this? We all start out wanting to be that wonderful woman in his life. But when does that cross over to "Mothering" him? I if your not sure, maybe you can learn something by reading this article.

The first sign you're starting to mother him, is you start serving him dinner. I mean after all, he's old enough to pick out his own foods, and place them on his itty bitty plate, all by himself. I never could understand why women do this. To the man, this starts to create a sense of when he was younger, and mommy cooked for him, and set the plate right down in front of him. A mother serving a child is one thing, you serving him is another. Please note, there is nothing wrong with doing this on special occasions, because you want to pamper him, on his special day, but NOT, all the time. That's what mothers do for their children

You constantly pick up after him. You know, like socks, underwear, messes in the bathroom. You know what I mean. Again, this is what women do for their children. Their very YOUNG children, I might add. I wouldn't even do that for a 10 year old, no less my husband. If you can't stand looking at the mess, I suggest you get pair of dark sunglasses, so you don't have to look at it. First of all, if you keep picking up after him, he will never learn to do it for himself. Second, he doesn't need a second mommy. Shame on you, what would Dr. Phil say?

One of my favorite signs a woman is mothering her man, is she constantly reminds him, what he supposed to be doing, and when. I know, you say he won't do it unless you remind him. Forget it. You have a choice, it can either not get done, or you can treat him like you would your kids, and end up with another child, that you didn't even give birth too. It' not your job to police him. Save it for the kids.
