Believe it or not I have a great relationship with my mom. Number 1 favourite person in the world. HOWever. Had I taken her advice on some topics I'd be one of the guys here asking the same question over & over about the same girl. The only use my son's mother will have is breast feeding, tending to cuts & bruises & maybe cooking.
When that bully at school picks a fight with him what will a woman teach him? Conflict resolution? Turning the other cheek? Telling the teacher? Pfft I'll teach him martial arts from the time he can walk & how to use it responsibly. One well places right hook to the chin then a swift kick to the groin = instant rep.
What about that girl he likes? What will his mother say? Go up to her with flowers? Be polite & pander to her? Supplicate like a wimp? How about he just talk to her casually & every other pretty girl in school?
What about when something goes wrong & he starts crying? What would a mother do, hug him & cry along with him? No, I'll tell him to dry his tears & suck it up. The strong have no time for crying.
When his mind matures he'll have a mentor & a friend.
The strong prosper & the weak struggle, this law of nature applies even in human society. Let a boy be raised by too many women & he usually becomes weak. Let a boy train himself around strong men, he curbstomps.
