The "negative" Oedipus complex (Female Model)
-- Girl's libidinal investments emerge in pattern opposite to boy's.
-- Girl invests her libido in the father as object.
-- She simultaneously assumes the subject-position of the mother, taking an affectionate, "feminine" attitude toward the father.
-- This results in JEALOUSY of and HOSTILITY toward the mother.
-- BOYS can also follow this pattern. This is the reason for the designation "negative." In this manifestation, the boy exhibits "girl-like" behavior = he assumes an affectionate, feminine attitude toward the father (instead of feeling ambivalence) and develops jealousy or even hostility toward the mother. According to Freud, this can lead to homosexuality.
-- Similarly, GIRLS can follow the (for them) "false" pattern, the one usually pursued by boys (the "positive" Oedipal Complex).
-- Thus, whether the Oedipus complex ends in a positive or negative result determines the future sexual identity of the child.

i don't get what you mean.

Oops forgot about google. It was meant as a light hearted joke meaning your mum fancied you rather than you fancying her. Perhaps I should have used the word reversed rather than negative.:o:o

You're likened to a fictional character that was created round about 5 years BC :rotfl:

Just tell her to stop copying you?

The clothes is weird.

I understand the phone though. It's such a pain to choose. Nowadays I just tell my teenager what features are essential and he finds the bargains.

It is a bit weird to buy the same clothes as your son. Maybe you should try pushing the point a bit more by saying something like 'no offence mum, but I don't want us going about in matching outfits'. Might make her realise how daft it looks her having the same clothes as you?
If she won't stop then I guess you'll just have to wear rubbish clothes whenever you go to see her!

It would seriously annoy me.

Can your dad have a word with her?
