The bottom line is he’s 18. Yes, you and others may choose to see him as a child, but that doesn’t mean that’s what he is. Just like a child who can walk and speak in complete sentences is no longer a baby. Also, for those saying it won’t last because of the age difference, the odds would be just as high of the relationship not lasting, were he dating someone his own age.

I am 60 and my boyfriend is 30. Leave him alone. He will figure it out. She may be a good influence. She might keep him from drinking and driving or partying all the time. Parents are not always right. And yall keep your hateful remarks to yourself. Unless she is taking his money or getting him in trouble, let them be.

Get to know her. In my opinion that’s all you can do. He’s grown and making his own life choices. Support him and be there for him.

This is just my opinion!! Ya know I understand that age is just number but truth be told he’s not grown we as parents are still doing so much for our children at the age of 17 the moment they turn 18 so many think they they are now an adult yes legally he is but most don’t think like an adult. It really depends on how your relationship is with him I’m extremely close to my children and very very open we tell each other just about everything and we voice our opinions and we have always allowed them to voice theirs. If the two of you are close and can talk about anything then I would express my concern and he well voice his reply . You already know you really have no say in the end as he is 18. Sending you positive vibes in whatever choice you make .

In my opinion. She’s too old to be dating a 18 year old. Ugh. I’m a mom of two teenage sons myself. And I just don’t know what I’d do. I feel you mamma. … but really. It don’t matter what you say or do. They are gonna be together regardless. Good luck

I am 37 a d could never date an 18 yo. They are all little kids to me still. I work with teens so maybe I have a different perspective. Even men in their early 20s is out of the question. but I think its gross the other way around too. If my 18 yo daughter dated a 37 yo I would question it.

I got one for you. My brother who is 37 is dating a girl who is 18 and now she’s knocked up and they live in a home made shed as soon as she turned 18. Hes controlling and she’s got everyone wrapped around her finger like she does or says nothing wrong. Yet, I’ve learned her!! I kno age is nothing but a number but damn!!
My youngest son is 19 and I would be livid. That lady is old enough to be his mom. I would ask her what her intentions are. Just because he is 18 and legal doesn’t mean he is mentally/emotionally ready for a child predator like that. Yes I said what I said. This just makes me upset because I’m trying to visualize my son in this situation and how I wouldn’t handle it good at all. There is nothing good about this.

You need to stay out of it. The only way you should get involved is if she is introducing him to drugs, doing other dangerous things or is taking advantage of him by taking his money. If any of the above are happening you need to have a conversation with him about it. While having the conversation you need to remember that he is and adult and should speak with him as such. You can tell him that you think he is going to end up getting his heart broken. I doubt that it will change anything. At his age he is learning many years things. Although he may end up heartbroken, in the future he will remember the time he spent with this lady with fondness, as she is introducing him to things he has likely never experienced.

I think it is weird at age 37 to date an 18 year old, whose brain is not fully developed yet. However you need to be mindful on what you say and not risk alienating him from you. At age 18 we are still impulsive and think we know everything. I would arm him with the facts about dating someone whom is approaching 40 in 3 years. On a funny note, you can rest assure he won’t be out bar hopping with her at all hours of the night, since he is not even old enough to get into bars .
aww heck no i have a son who is 14. soon he will be 18. i would pull her to the side and tear that woman apart. make her leave him alone. i would destroy it any way i can.he’s only 18 she is too old and using him.

I’m 34 and my son is 17 this year I find this rather disturbing and can totally see where you are coming from . She must be sick in the head to find that normal ? Like does she not have kids herself ? I’m 34 and partner 28 and I thought that was a to big of age gap and people would judge but ppl still ask if I’m 25 plus he is an adult but I couldn’t imagine dating someone my sons age that’s just wrong 
I don’t know what you could do because I’d loose my shit if my son dated someone older then me when he is still basically a kid . Good luck lovely x
Whatever you think if I were you, I would not say anything because if you do it will cause your son to stray, just stay out of it, if he ends up getting hurt he will figure it out.
While odd, there is nothing you can do. Perhaps try to get to know her. Maybe she doesnt have any bad intentions. Just because she is older doesnt mean she is a bad person or has bad intentions. You never know you and her could become good friends too.
leave them alone one or the other will soon get fed up or you could end up falling out with him
Keep lines of communication open and be open be there for him to talk to and help guide him etc. conversations around manipulation etc

Break that shit up. Hell no. She might as well be his step mama. He is eight TEEN. Sure he is a legal adult but until he is TWENTY, then he isnt a teenager anymore. Ask questions on why she would want your baby as her partner and lover?? That makes my blood boil.
Talk to her and tell her how you feel, once she knows this it will give the situation more clarity. You choose to do it alone with her or with him but she needs to know or is not fair on their relationship. good on you for being acceptive of him.

The more resistant you are about it at this age and stage of your son’s life, the more you’ll just drive him to her. Just be honest with your son about your concerns and worry as you have done all through his life in a loving supportive way, letting him know that you’re there and you aren’t taking a position on what he does, that you just want him to be happy and safe and healthy and want what’s best for him and you respect his decisions and you’re willing to support him with whatever that is
Time will tell, older women are better in bed and are hopefully less dramatic and clingy. Hope she is a good women.

He’s 18, you can’t but the good news is that in time he’ll decide to move on most likely, especially when he wants a family. My husband of 30 years is 19 years my senior. Good news is it’s unlikely to result in a child tying him to her permanently paying child support. Step son did this but he outgrew her.

I think a 37 yr old woman dating an 18 yr old is strange. Woman tend to be more mature and usually are attracted to older guys. Since she is attracted to your Son I would have concerns with emotional or mental stability. Keep your eyes and ears open but don’t push him away with criticism. Keep communication open so he can discuss an issues with you.

I’m almost 27 and would feel really weird dating an 18 year old (and yet my daughter’s father is 9 years older than me 
).
I was 19 when I met him and it didn’t bode very well for my mom to butt in. It’s very understandable that you are concerned as it’s a massive age difference but it either won’t last long or they are soul mates. Have an adult conversation with him about your concerns and that you are there to talk at any time. Advice whenever or a shoulder if it doesn’t work out… but don’t forbid him under any circumstances. These are his choices to make and lessons to learn so just be there when he needs/allows it. 18 is a tricky age. I wish your family the best <3
Ewww that to me is gross. And she is a full grown woman, not a girl.

Talk to him about your concerns and how you really feel, also let him know that he can always come to you if he ever needs someone to talk to. He is 18, he needs to learn the realities about life but to also make good wise decisions. The moment you step in and try controlling him you will only push him away and it will result in him hiding things from you which will not end well.
It most likely will die out. This will be an ultimate test and experience. This will let him know if he is ready for a serious relationship. She is not going trap him. He is young. Just let it play itself out. He will either learn a hard lesson or get a chance to experience life in the raw form and grow from it. Do warn him about not confusing sex with Love. If not he may end up feeling stuck and unable to move on emotionally.
Um this is disgusting. I’m 35 and can’t imagine dating anyone under 29 AT LEAST and probably still wouldn’t, because I have a 6 yr old and want a mature, responsible, positive influence.
