Is Garcelle one of those "boymoms"?

I can't remember which episode it is because I was binge watching last night but its the latest season. Garcelle and Jaid are in the kitchen cooking and she tells the camera "he's like my boyfriend. He's so protective of me."

I'll be honest, Garcelle isn't one of my favorites anyway so I don't pay close attention to her story line but this caught my attention because it's something the weird "boymom" moms say and it's just weird to process in my head.

Earlier on the show, her youngest son made his feelings known about basically feeling abandoned by her so I'm really just trying to figure out what the real dynamics are with her sons because from what I have paid attention to, she seems to be just a normal, working mom?

I overthink things a lot so feel free to just ignore me but it was just such a weird statement to make about your son.
