Is it normal that my 16 year old cousin still sleeps with his mom?

hes probably into muff diving

I can understand the comfort it gives him to know his mom is there but it sounds like he's controlling her and making sure she never has another man in her life - except him. That's very selfish of him! I don't see anything sexual in it.

He must be one huge ass pussy

He's too old for that. Nothing wrong with loving your mother,　but there's a point where you need to grow up, because you have to be your own person. He's going to have a rough time of it when he goes to college or moves out and gets a job.

He's either a mummy's boy or has a phobia of some kind

It is very common to be an emotional enabler. The statistics of children being sexually abused (violated) in the U.S.A. is 1 in 5 boys and 1 in 4 girls that is known. Boundaries do not have to be ugly. As we raise our children, they go through different stages of development. Some are quicker, some are slower. Granted each individual is different. Although when it comes to a Mother Allowing her 16 year post pubescent Son to sleep with her regularly, it is not just an enabling issue, it becomes an emotional derailment that began some where in time and the end is no where in sight. The ramifications of a Father sleeping with 16 year old will get him jail time.

Between the age of 0 and 5 years of age is critical for a child's development. Normal weaning, teething, potty training and nurturing enhances healthy emotional and mental development during this time period and on. Nurturing is critical at any age of our life. Though, it is so important to educate and discover boundaries and what enhances emotional intelligence. Parents sleeping with their pubescent or post pubescent children regularly not only enables emotional dysfunction but sets an unhealthy co-dependent behavioral pattern for life and generations to come.

Co-dependancy and enabling behaviors are unhealthy.

Forming or transforming into healthy inter-dependent relationships is key.

All the comments are stupid. Just because he's a boy everyone automatically assumes there is something wrong with him. I'm 17 and still sleep with my mom even though I have my own room. I just find my moms room comfortable as
Well as her bed. I also find comfort sleeping beside her. I use her as part of my body pillow too. :P

Is he a Motherfucker?

That is a issue he needs to be seperated and he might possibly Co-Dependent .

mommas boy

yeah it sounds like he's preventing her from having another man in her life

and yes... it very much MAY be sexual. maybe not to her but subconsciously to him...

Unless he's filipino, no :)
