Mum thumb

When someones mum wont let them do something, even though they are old enough to decide for themselves.

Overbearing, controlling mother.

Similar to being under your girlfriend/wifes thumb.(not cool)

"No way dude, Dave wants to get a tattoo and although he's 19, his mom wont let him"
"He's so under the Mum thumb!"
