Dear Cupid,

I really appreciate the opportunity to speak to someone about my worries, i have never openly discussed my problems with an agony aunt before.

One of my housemates, currently a student, has an unnatural and exaggerated attraction to my mum. I have known him for a long time but i'm unsure how long this has been going on for.

He used to come round to my house when we were in school and joke with me about how good looking my mum is, with particular reference to her figure.

Since weve moved into our new house, he has continued this obsession, i have walked into him attempting to chat her up before. My parents are still together and happily married, but i worry the lengths he would go to to get what he wants.

How do i confront him about this ridiculous obsession?

Any other comments or thoughts would be really useful, and again thank you for your time

YouWish agony auntWell, until it runs its course, there's nothing you can do to stop a crush on your mom. However, tell him that his talking to you about it in any way would be like him having to listen to his parents having sex. It's just GROSS, and ask him to keep his dirty thoughts to his dirty self before you find his bed and puke on it.

My sympathies to you - I've had many friends have crushes on my brother (and a few friends DATED him), but never one with a crush on my dad or mom. That would truly set my teeth on edge.

Honeypie agony auntIgnore it, your mom is a grown woman and will know better then to think anything of it.

However if he does say anything about your mom in your presence tell him to get a clue, your mom has better things to do then date a kid.
