My mom has been bringing men around that she has been dating: Thoughts?

Great to see your little 20 year old sister gets to go out and away without your mother’s permission :roll_eyes:

But your mum is an adult, she pays the rent, she pays the mortgage; and you have no right to dictate to her who she can and can’t spend time with and how. Her marriage may have just broken up physically, mentally and emotionally she may have left it years ago.

I suggest you get your own life and worry about keeping your ducks lined up before telling her how to live hers.

Your mum has done 20 plus years putting you kids first; it’s time you show some respect back and support her with her moving on with her life.

One, back the fuck off. Your mom is an adult. All of her kids are adults. This is 100% none of any of your business. It’s her house. If she wants to bring men over, she can. Holy shit.

Your sister is an adult get the hell over it. She probably asked if it would bother anyone because I’m assuming she broke up with your father, but look at you acting as if she was asking for her own daughter to make rules about where she’s allowed to get laid lol

Lol that is your moms house. Not your sisters house. Your mom is a grown woman and if she wants to bring a man home, she has the right to do so without you or your sisters really putting your noses into it. She was respectful enough to have men over when the sister wasnt there so … no harm done. It’s not your business or your place to say anything at all. Period.

Your sister is an adult so she can get out of that situation if it gets bad. Maybe she could stay at your house if you’re that worried? I totally get being concerned for your mom, because I’ve been there. Just try to get as much details about the guy if you can. Maybe ask for a picture to start up a conversation so you know what the guy looks like, but at the end of the day, she’s grown. :woman_shrugging:t2:

It’s your mom’s house, and she obviously feels like she can do whatever without regard for your sister’s safety. She’s lied about it and yall have caught her. If you’re truly that stressed about your sister’s safety, and I see where your coming from, I would make other living arrangements for lil sis. Idk how old your mom is, but things were different when she was younger and if she’s had a very sheltered upbringing and then raised yall in a sheltered environment, like it sounds she did. She may not realize just how dangerous this world is now days. Growing up, I thought the world was WAY different than it is. I was very naive through no fault of my own. Life slapped me in the face early on and before I knew it, I was a divorced (from a drug addict. I had no clue he was one because I’d never been exposed to such things), single mother and domestic violence survivor. (I thought domestic violence was only in movies.) I see all these comments about its none of your business, etc… I know that ultimately are just worried and feel that you already know that it’s not. Best of luck and prayers of protection for your sis and mom

My MIL moved her bf of 3 months in with her 9 and 11 year old. So it could totally be worse

I think your mom needs to be cautious for her own sake. To meet someone in a night club or

She could meet a creep and believe that he is ok.
Get to know them after a few dates, at least.

PS Do not damage your self esteem.

I think you’re right 100%! Your mom is acting out of character, and maybe for a good reason. I think you’re showing a lot of love to be concerned about her dating in an environment she is not familiar. It’s not safe to bring randos to your house without getting to know them well.
She is feeling free and young again and men are giving her attention, and all of that is not just wonderful but it’s blinding.
I’m glad your being kind when approaching her and that she has listened to your concerns.
I think the only thing to do is help your younger sister find another place to live honestly. I can tell your mom will be upset but she will get over it. Your sister is older and it wouldn’t be unheard of for her to move out, even until this phase passes or maybe for good. But for sure for now.
Keep being supportive of your mom and once this one thing is handled, she may be more open and not feel like she has to lie to please you.

And??? She’s a grown ass woman and so is your sister. Sounds like you are the one causing the issue. Get over it and stop being so selfish and fishing for excuses and let your Mom be happy again.

Mom is an adult !sister is an adult ! Your mom isnt being date savvy and is doing her thing . your sister who’s 20 is old enough to decide if she would like to move out or stay home. Your moms probably lying because you all make her feel bad and belittle her decisions. I really think you older children need to mind your own business while she works this out for herself while it’s nice and caring you that you love and care about her you cant control the situation so please let her live her life as I’m sure she let you as young adults live your life with mistakes and all!

Ummm…your mom is an adult she can do as she pleases in her own home. Your sister is also a grown ass adult and if she doesn’t like it is free to move. I’m a little concerned that maybe you should seek counseling due to your preoccupation with your adult mother’s dating.

Did everyone here moved out by 20?if something goes wrong,God forbid I’m sure a pot of you all would say she,the mother could have done better,why didn’t her daughters talk to her,now there is concern being expressed they should mind their business?hmmmm

Totally reasonable to not want her to bring strangers in…people DIE doing this…but in the end its her life her house and her choices…if ur adult sister doesnt likr she is grown and can move

This is actually really dangerous though. Inviting strange men to her house isnt the best thing to do. Even if she lived alone I’d be worried because anything could happen. Everyone’s saying grow up but I totally get why you’re worried. Unfortunately though its not up to you. If you’re worried for your sister’s safety then find her somewhere else to live but mom is obviously gonna do what she wants

This touches home with me because I have a sister that does this. Although she only has boys at home it’s still f-ing scary. She’s done this for years. Has but these men in front of her children. My sis had never had a job in her life because she’s so addicted to these dating sites. These men only want her for the “moment” then dispose of her and go to the next. Nothing these men have done has opened her eyes she feeds from the attention they give her on the sites. My sis and I don’t talk but I still worry something bad will b the end result to all this. She needs help. She’s says depressed. But I feel if she would get out of the house find a job instead of sitting in front of a computer it would help her depression along with a professional

Your sister isn’t little she’s an adult she can move out or speak up for herself if she feels uncomfortable about it… not your business not your problem you have no say you do not pay your mother’s bills it’s her damn house who the hell do you think you are acting like the parent be the kid worry about your self your little sister is not little she’s an adult and can make a life for herself … or stay with her mom Their choices not yours !

Your mum spent how long being a mum and a wife, and now she’s single and her babies are grown up. I don’t understand what the issue is, early 20s?? The sister is old enough to understand or move out, this is something she may encounter even in a roommate situation. She isn’t even inviting them when she’s home, so I fail to see how she’s imposing on your sisters space at all. She’s your mum, but she’s allowed to have privacy, let her be vivacious and adventurous… it might be a chapter she skipped in her younger years and now has the mental fortitude to enjoy it.

Honestly you should be a little happy and proud of your mum for having the confidence to put herself out there and give new people a chance, that can be really hard after a big separation. It might be weird for you guys to see this change in your mother but change is inevitable now that she’s single, and it’s way better than her feeling defeated and lonely while you’re all off building your own lives that depend on her a lot less than before.

Your mother is an adult BUT it is totally understandable that you and your sister are worried about the safety of not just her but yourselves. As an adult, your mother should definitely be taking more precaution. I’d hope she isn’t giving the address on the first time meeting the men but even if she was it’s her choice, her house and her safety. Maybe ask her to let you guys know when she’s having someone over and check in once in awhile so you both know that she’s safe. You have to learn to compromise. She deserves to live the life that she wants to live. She shouldn’t have to ask permission from her children if she can have people in her home.

I could see your concern if your sister was a kid. This is ridiculous if yall dont like move her out then it’s her life her house and u guys cant decide how she lives it she is not your child and this is what this post sounds like

Maybe you should allow your mother to be more open with you and be able to say hey I have someone coming over tonight while your sister is out that way you can check on her. Right now she’s afraid of telling you and you have no idea when a man is there alone with her. She’s going to do what she wants regardless so just support her. Your sister is a grown adult and your moms not even bringing the men there while she’s home. That’s between your mom and your little sister not you. All you can really do is support her and talk to her and tell her you’re not going to judge her but you want her to at least let you know when she’s going to be alone with a new man, outside or inside her house just so you know to check in with her after the date to check if she’s safe. But seems like you guys are getting to involved and trying to set rules for a grown woman.

Why are you feeling like you are your mother’s parent? Your mom spent several years being married (probably unhappily), and raising children. She’s a grown ass woman that can do as she pleases and doesn’t need her grown children’s permission! Maybe one day you will understand this. As for your sister, she’s a grown woman as well, and maybe she needs to spread her wings and fly away too! It’s hard enough getting divorced, growing older and have children that are out of the house with a life of their own. Let your mom enjoy life,date men, and most of all just love her! One day this maybe you. Does your mom pay her own bills? Is she on drugs? She raised you to know the difference between right and wrong…correct? Give her a little more credit than that

Your sister is an adult if you all don’t like than maybe your sister should move, it’s your mothers house and she is an adult who raised you! You are allowed to Express your feelings and opinion to her about safety but other then that you mind your business :roll_eyes::woman_facepalming:t2:

You don’t get to judge her for the way she heals. Everybody handles these kinds of things differently. Your mother doesn’t have to “talk and decide” nothing with you guys. Take that as a courtesy on her part.

I understand. People are fucking nuts . Recently there was a man an hour away from our home town who had a step daughter age like 15 and they were talking and it seemed like the girl had talked to him in other ways he was trying to mess around w her saying he was scared because she was young I know your sisters of age but there’s a lot of WEIRDOS

And I’ve met some sick people I think the safe thing would be to go on dates in public and get to know them I don’t like one night stands if she’s wanting sex i personally like to get to know them first and build a friendship

A family home is a family home, all should feel safe there… I still lived in my family home till I was 25 as I was still in school. Your mom is only bringing them home when your sister not there… I understand your concerns as online dating is not safe but if that’s what your moms chosen to do she is an adult who has raised her children. Has your sister sat down and talked to her about how she feels?.

I understand why you’re worried. Shows what a great daughter but it’s her life and her choice.

You can’t make it for her.
Nor can you control it.

She never has them around any of you or her grandchildren and tbh that would be the bigger issue.

She is letting herself get to know people again.

None of us can control what people think or do…or how they feel.

We are only in control of our responses to such a thing.

“I just don’t want you to get hurt mum. I just think it’s too soon to have people at your house” you have voiced this. She knows you care and that she is loved. But sooner or later the other daughter will be moved out, so she is starting to rebuild her life…on her own terms.

You just have to let it go now.

I could only get thru a few sentences. So your mother wants to be happy & most likely in a shitty marriage for longer than she wanted !! And you have the nerve to tell her NOT to bring men into her house, because your little sister who is in her 20’s lives home ??? Honey, your little sister is old enough to get her own place if she is not happy with what your mother is doing. Plus your little 20 some yr old sister should be very grateful that your mother is allowing her to still at home !!! It’s your mother’s house & her life & I say I hope she has a great time with whom ever she wants. It’s a lot better than her to marry the first guy is goes out with. So mind your own business & let your mother have the time of her life :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Your sister is in her 20s and grown your mom is for sure grown. Mind your own business and stay in your own lane. If your sister dont like it shes plenty old enough to move out. That’s on her.

You want your mother to be honest about her intentions, but you know she’s a liar and continues to do exactly what she says she won’t? How are you not taking this as her doing exactly as she intends? If it hasn’t stopped, it won’t. You are all adults, including your sister. Your mother isn’t going to change, so perhaps your sister should decide whether or not it’s a place she wants to continue to live?

I understand your concern from a safety standpoint and am a bit surprised people find this so humorous. Online dating has risks, people can present whatever image they choose. It really is an optimal place for a predator. You can and should inform your mom of those risks but at that point it’s up to her to make a decision.
