I resolve to

not bug my sons about who they are (or are not) dating. One will be 29 in 2 days, the other's 31. The 31 year old one is seeing a woman who has just turned 40 & has a 17 year old daughter. My first reaction was "she's 40" but really, it the situation was reversed, would I be freaking? well, maybe.....

I haven't met her yet, I know very little about her, but I must resolve to keep my mouth shut about this. Anytime I say "oh I like her" that's the end of the relationship....or even if I say "what happened to her?".....this will be difficult for me because I have not had any qualms about trying to drag information out of him about his girlfriends. Wish me luck!

Good luck with this one - it's better not to bug him since he's a grown man

;) I know I shouldn't but it's hard for me not to say anything....and of course, he doesn't seem like a grown man to me.......I don't feel so bad about that one, my aunt still calls me "a kid"...

Well, we make our own luck, but if anyone needs it, I would say you do ;0)

I just need to keep my mouth shut - "Mission: Impossible" ;)

HAHAHAHAHA my boys are gosh half the age of yours. The oldest one..... I am told do not like or dislike the people he goes out with. I really enjoyed some of the people he has been involved with, only to never see them again.
He has this gal now that wow, we have had our blow ups and I told her exactly what I thought of her..... which did me no good one bit. I do not play games to well.

Good luck Robin . . . sounds like you're approaching this in a thoughtful way, I hope it all works out for you and your sons....

Robin A. Jul 15, 2010, 5:39am UTC

Well, I have no idea if it's _me_ saying something or not, but I do need to keep my mouth shut about it. I wouldn't have liked it if my mom would have done that, but on the other hand, I always kept her in the loop.

I hate to be in this position,, I have a 19 yr dating a 15 yr old yet he is in Afghanstan so I am not to worried for now

Robin A. Jul 15, 2010, 5:40am UTC

woo, your son's in Afghanistan, I say you got a lot more to worry about than who he's currently dating....thank you son for the job he is doing just so goofy people like me can have the freedon to worry over something so trivial....

Good luck. If he seems serious about anyone, do not rush it. I did, and I regret it now. So does he.

Robin A. Jul 15, 2010, 5:41am UTC

the words of experience, thank you. I needed that...

You are just being a mom but good luck lol.

They were over here on Friday and I managed _not_ to ask about his relationship, even though he was texting her while he was there...I couldn't believe I managed to keep my mouth shut about it...

Diane Huizenga Jul 18, 2010, 8:54am UTC
