Is it normal that my boyfriends mom is this controlling

46% Normal
4 Comments

My boyfriend of 3 years and I love each other so much. We have our quarrels like any other couple but nothing too big. And then his mother happened. She is just so unbelievably controlling. She controls how long out dates are, how many times per week we see each other, when my boyfriend shaves....etc.

He is an 18 year old man going off to college soon. She still treats him as a child. If she doesn't get her way she will ban him from using the car and be pissy for as long as she feels like it. She wouldn't even let my boyfriend get a job until this summer ... Which is weird because most parents encourage their kids to work.

I just feel she is jealous of me because her son rather spend time with me than her. But honestly this has to stop because it is beyond creepy.

So i know it isnt normal but any comments? Suggestions?

    My boyfriend's mom is kind of like that. Truthfully, don't say anything to her about it. This is between him and her. sure you can talk to him about figuring stuff out. Otherwise you can just wait till you two move in with each other. Some moms are super controlling. Some kids deal with it, and some kids rebel.

    When he shaves? It's his damn facial hair!

    The only thing I can suggest is being straight up with her and laying down the facts. HE'S NOT A CHILD ANYMORE. He should not be treated as such.
