| | Mom Is 50 and Is Competitive with me?!Page 5 of 5 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) | Wow, I love the relationship you have with your daughter. It sounds like a normal healthy mother/daughter relationship. You guys obviously love AND respect each other. There is a 30 year age difference between my daughter and I. she is 17, and I am 47. Here is the thing, when I notice men noticing her, first off if they are anywhere near my age, as a mom I get pissed. But if they are within her age range 18-20 or so...I am proud as I believe any Mom would be be. I believe my baby is beautiful...and it warms my heart when others notice.
I cannot imagine ever embarrassing my daughter by flirting with young men she's interested in. I feel so sorry for the young lady who made this post. Her Mom is definitely not considering her feelings. But one thing that I have noticed, quite a few of my friends are into younger guys...we are 47, and they are dating men my son's age, 25 and younger. I don't have a problem at all with that, as long as both parties are of age. My personal feeling about younger men is this, I just couldn't date a fella that was my son's age. I prefer fellas who are my age. To the young lady, sweetie don't avoid those situations with your Mom. That way she won't get a chance to flirt with your fellas. Also as far as the computer, show her a couple of times, then leave her on her own. She will get it, trust me when I say that. It sounds like she is using your circle of friends as a means to get herself out there. That is unfair to you...sweetie it is YOUR TURN. Time for her to stand back and let YOU shine. Good luck! | |

Are you REALLY going to bring some 24 year old to church? Because I've already brought a man in his fourties to church because I don't f'ing care So she has to date someone her own age but you don't. Nice double standard you got there.
YOU on the other hand care way too much about what people think. Its so nice of you to let your mother know what she thinks and feels. I hope she extends you the same courtesy some day, that way you'll know how it feels to deal with your own attitude. | |

I haven't read any of the posts. So who is winning the competition, the daugher or the mother?
Angela Lansberry Now that's funny.... Also... I must beg to differ on an early post. Angela Lansbury is not washed-up. She's been performing on Broadway since 1957, and she is still performing there today. Like right now. She's been nominated for Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Featured Actress in a Play for her performance as Mrs. Sue-Ellen Gamadge in the Gore Vidal's, The Best Man, which is running right now on Broadway (April 2012 — September 2012). Oops... went off topic, didn't I. Well, here's one more, then: The set for the sheriff's office on Murder She Wrote was filmed at main state park office I worked out of at the time. Angela washed up? Nah. Some of the guest stars... well... you know...
To the OP: good luck w/your whole scene. I think the whole pot/kettle/black thing about age differences is crap. Do what works in your heart. If I'm correct in understanding, your problem with your mom has to do with respecting boundaries, not necessarily that she flirts, but more that she flirted, or flirts, with a person who you've asked her NOT to flirt with, right? She's not respecting your request, and that's disrespectful—doesn't matter that she's your mother. This is what I see here: She is flirting w/your crushes while you ARE NOT flirting with her's. Makes the age range on the profile issue that some forum folks have moot. It's moot anyway. To each his own. I'd suggest you can respectfully communicate your boundaries to your mom, but first you gotta figure what those boundaries are, and which most pressing? Then, stick to your guns... in a nice loving, yet firm and resolute way. | |
