The stereotypes of "daddy's princess" and "mama's boy" are pretty hated in pop culture. One is usually called entitled for getting a lavish summer trip to Europe or an expensive college tuition just by asking nicely, and the other is considered spoiled for not having to clean or do his own laundry even after moving out of his parents' house. So, Reddit user Jesk_680 wanted to find out if they're really that bad and asked everyone who had dated these characters to share why they ultimately decided to end the relationship. Continue scrolling to check out the stories and don't miss the conversation we had with clinical psychologist Dr. Sabrina Romanoff — you'll find it in between the entries.

The last person I dated before meeting my husband needed so badly to remove his balls from his mother's purse. She had opinions about me that honestly I can live with, but they changed the way he treated me. Suddenly, the two of them were having monthly meetings in public places that I was not allowed to attend, but he refused to leave me at home for. So he'd force me to come with them into town then I was required to walk around town with no money, no way home, and not allowed into the business they were having their meeting in. I was also not allowed to bring anything to keep me entertained. No book, no crochet, no headphones, nothing.
I started organizing my escape after the first meeting.
I'm happy to say I was able to leave with most of my belongings. I moved cross country, met my husband, and while things aren't perfect I'm happy. Hubby and I are about to celebrate 18 years married.

He didn't cook, didn't clean, didn't work, stayed up all night arguing with 12-year-olds on call of duty and sleeping all day while I was at work, and said "I want you to fold my clean socks the way my mom does it.".

My Ex would call his mum weekly to drive 1 hour to his flat to clean it and take his dirty laundry with her. With every visit, she gave him last weeks laundry back, all cleaned and ironed.
He was 30 years old and absolutly capable of doing these things on his own, he even owned a wasching maschine and a dryer.
His argument? His mom wants to do it and he didn't want to take this "fun" from her. Not even when I moved in with him. It was so embarassing. He even was mad at me when I wasched my own clothes, he wanted me to give it also to his mum.

When I was in high school, probably age 17 or 18, I was dating a guy a couple years older than me. The first/only time I met his mom she was asking me what I was planning to study in college and when I told her she said "good! You'll be able to financially support (son)". I don't know if he was a mama's boy or if she was giving me a warning, but after that I kept having nightmares that we were getting married and I eventually broke up with him.

Despite the fact that my almost MIL was disabled and unable to clean, my ex fiancé did not clean the bathroom. I gave them a heads up that I would clean the bathroom and proceeded to clean it. Despite the fact that I took initiative, the woman criticized my work instead of her lazy son.

She took his sandwich (which she had made) into the kitchen to add salad cream because "she knows how I like it" also she spoon fed him some medicine... he was 38 at the time.
