Honestly, is that what moms are doing? I have not exeprienced it. If anything, both my parents were overly worried by me hitting puberty. No “bees and flowers” talk either, they relied on my school providing that.
No, I got no relationship advice from either of my parents, other than their living examples. Which wasn’t very good, as advice.
I also don’t see why moms should give it to their sons, and dads to their daughters, exclusively?
I suspect what this guy refers to are tropes from song lyrics, which might come from a place of hardship, maybe a mother raising a child without a father. And now I think of it, I’ve heard women sing this also: “my mother told me about love…” So in the end it’s about absent fathers, once again.
