What are some common struggles that mothers face with their teenage sons?

This kind of situation is highly unethical and inappropriate. It's not a topic that should be entertained or considered in a normal conversation. It violates personal boundaries and moral values.

Another difficulty is the lack of support. Without a partner, they have to handle everything on their own, from taking care of a sick child to dealing with household chores. And sometimes, they may face social stigma as well. People might have wrong assumptions about them, which can be emotionally draining.

No, it's not common and it's considered highly inappropriate and abnormal behavior. Such a situation is against social and moral norms.

One common theme is the mother's role in a son's education. Mothers often encourage and support their sons to study hard. Another is the son's respect for the mother. For example, in many stories, the son will always listen to his mother's advice. Also, the idea of family honor is important. Sons are expected to uphold the family name, which is often emphasized by the mother.

Another theme is the passing down of cultural heritage. The mother, who has a deep connection to her African roots, shares stories, traditions and values with her son. This helps the son to have a strong sense of identity and pride in his blackness. In movies, this can be shown through family gatherings where the mother tells stories of their ancestors.

Set clear boundaries. Sons need to know what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior. For example, clearly define rules about homework, bedtime and respect for others at home.

One challenge is embarrassment. Mothers may feel uncomfortable discussing sexual topics, even in the form of stories, and this discomfort can be passed on to the son. If the mother is blushing or stuttering, the son might sense that it's something 'wrong' or 'taboo' and become hesitant to engage in the conversation.

One of the main challenges is lack of sleep. Newborns need to be fed frequently, which means the mother has to wake up several times during the night.

If you want something more educational, 'A Short History of Nearly Everything' by Bill Bryson can be interesting. It can spark discussions about science and the world around us. And for a lighter, humorous read, 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' series can be enjoyable for both mother and son to share and laugh about.

One story could be about a son who is very protective of his mother and sister. For example, in a small town, there was a son who would always walk his sister to school to keep her safe and also helped his mother with the household chores. He was like the little hero in their family.
