"Tied to his mother's apron strings" nghĩa là gì?

Bởi mẹ là người gần gũi nhất với con nên xu hướng "mama's boy" khá phổ biến. Photo courtesy 219Eastern
"Tied to (one's) apron strings" hay "mama's boy" nghĩa là hoàn toàn bị phụ thuộc vào ai đó (thường là mẹ)/ bám váy mẹ. "Apron" là cái tạp dề.
Ví dụ
The muscled, heavily proteined, dick- swinging (tinh ranh) guys acted like her entourage (người tùy tùng); they carried her bags, brought her coffee, and hung from her lingerie (đồ lót) like they would their mother's apron strings.
Caius Martius (Jonathan Cake) is a mama’s boy to mother Voluminia (Kate Burton). Sullivan has him so tied to the apron strings that Cake rarely touches his own wife, Virgilia (Nneka Okafor), without at least glancing lovingly (cái liếc nhìn yêu thương) at Burton.
Besides caring for their own stresses and peculiarities (nét riêng) parents must empathise (đồng cảm) with the child and give her enough freedom, understanding, a good healthy social circle and friends, and a life of her own. She cannot be tied to the apron-strings of the mother or the family and nor put under the ‘spotlight’.
