I really don’t like how they keep trying to separate Bow and Junior. He’s independent and he can do things on his own, it’s not like he needs her to do everything. He literally takes care of his self. That’s not the definition of a mama‘s boy, a mama‘s boy is a man who cannot take care of yourself; Junior was literally raising the youngest sibling for one whole season!
They have a well adjusted relationship. Of all the kids he's the most like her and they have similar interests where you can tell that if they weren't mother and son they would totally be friends.
Ruby and dre are close But she was tough on him when he was younger. She actually spanked and made him face consequences but also took care of him which is why he takes care of her Junior on the other hand has been spoon fed and got away with stuff. Dre is a mamas boy but ruby didn't let him get away with stuff and even puts him in his place as an adult Obviously she gets under bows skin for fun which is hilarious
@@minxxd The phrase "people that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" refers to hypocrisy. Dre is criticizing Bow and Junior close mother & son bond while acting like he's unaware of his own freakish bond with his mother.
I mean I think it's nice that Bow and Jr have a soild relationship. They like have mutual respect and trust for each other. It seems like Dre barely interacts with his kids unless it's to blindly lecture them about something he's completely misguided about or to comically roast them for making normal human mistakes or things that he deems socially unacceptable.
Dre is the definition of a mama's boy. He can feel good about himself because she does live in their house. It's not Dre, Bow & kids living in HER house. Absolutely annoying as usual.
Oh ironic humor.....Jr more like Dre than Dre wants to admit- Jr just stayed true to himself rather than conforming to the "Floss & Stunt" lifestyle like Dre did and Dre lowkey salty about it, hence his ridiculing Jr like he does.
@@toridavis8335 Given how Dre was when he was a kid, not that hard to believe he was similar to Jr in personality but had to "fit in" in order to make it in Compton growing up and he kinda is resentful about Jr getting to live his best life being a "dork" as Dre sees him, which I'm sure Dre was once seen as before he became how he is today
@@iconkid9887 Definitely. Dre is probably still in that mindset of having to protect yourself and toughen up to get so far ahead, which is why he forces it so much on Junior and ridicules him for "being soft", but what he often forgets is that he had to be tough specifically so his children wouldn't have to be. And I agree, I think Dre is a little resentful -- you only have to look at his relationship with Earl to see it happening all over again.
@@iconkid9887 Considering all the jobs he took, all the things he had to do (including moving to California) just to keep making money and providing for the family, I'm sure he's set the very example Dre has followed ever since, and all so Dre could have the upper middle class dream office job and the suburban life he's now so used to. Earl hustled so Dre wouldn't have to, and yet he brought him up to be tougher, to survive in a country that would prefer his son to be dead or locked up. It's a fascinating cycle going on through the generations, where they're advancing their circumstances so that they can thrive rather than simply survive, and yet still teaching their sons to survive first, because that's what worked for them. Unfortunately, what we're also seeing is that it doesn't give them room to simply be themselves or make room for their emotions. Really, Junior should be commended for being able to keep his softness, since it's the closing off of their emotional inner lives that does men such a disservice. Mentally, Junior is probably the most healthy because he has never been through the stress of Survival. I think it says a lot what the cycles of poverty and discrimination do to men -- especially Black men -- and their mental health, and that's something we all need to recognise and respect. The field of psychiatry needs to catch up to recognise these particular struggles, definitely, but we can all work to make having these conversations with our friends and family as easy and informed as possible. Talking is the first step to better mental health, and that's the first step to not passing our hang ups on to our children.
Honestly I hope I’m close with my child. That’s literally the best thing to me. I rather that then to give birth to someone that can’t stand to be around me🤷🏽♀️they understand each other. When no one points out how their mother & son relationship is they seem regular to me🤷🏽♀️but as soon as people point out thats when they make them act even more weird then normal
It's generally looked down upon if a son is close to his mother Very few people would say this about a daughter being close to her mum Double standardsb As long as there are healthy boundaries ,no one should have a problem
Olivia's mom judged Junior and Bow's relationship, but didn't consider that they have a mother-son relationship and that is a different bond than a mother-daugher relationship. I think that's the message of this episode. It's the same with fathers and daughters, Dre really shouldn't talk since he has a ridiculously close relationship with Ruby and he definitely likes Zoe more than his other kids.
The only reason it’s seen as “weird” is because our culture tells people that they shouldn’t enjoy their children(especially when they’re teens) and that mothers shouldn’t have a tight bond with their sons. If the same thing was happening with her daughter no one would bat an eye.
Nah Olivia and her mom definitely had an associate type of relationship, only thing that was weird about the relationship was the part where junior was tryna feed her while they were out on the date with his girlfriend and her mom.

dre and junior are exactly alike. they were both neglected and emotionally abused by their fathers and latched tightly onto their mom to compensate for that loneliness and sense of doubt. like father, like son.
I agree to an extent, with a caveat. What Junior has with Bow is a friendship, he can absolutely go about life on his on, and march to the beat of his own drum. Dre however is co-dependent to Ruby. They need each other for survival. I've seen this played out in real life, at home. The Dre/Jr relationship almost feels like someone was spying on us and scripted it.😁
Bow and junior aren’t even super close. Y’all need to cut the bull and the shit. Junior is independent and nice to everyone especially bow and ruby!!! He is one of my favorite characters in black-ish.

Jack and Ashley are so cute 🥰 Hope he can figure out how to keep her interested, because when Diane showed up- well....🤣😂
