Hi!

I'm with my boyfriend for more than two years now. My problem is that my mother is desperate to meet his mother. His parents live more than three hours away from my parents and they have only meet twice at a party with a lot of other people. My mother wants to phone his mother, meet her and go to her house to drink a coffee (three hours to go there!). Not only now that she has meet her. She wanted to do that before she has ever seen her. She wants to do this despite I told her, that I don't like that. So she tries to do it behind my back. I can't see why she has to see her and talk to her. I'm not sure about his mother whether or not she wants to meet my mother without me beeing there. But I don't want that. It is my live and my privacy. I feel uncomfortable with her.

What do you think about this? Do you like your mother seeing your boy/girlfriends mother? Is my mother invasive? How can I tell her, that I don't like this? What can I do if she does it behind my back?

Thanks for answers!

stina agony auntHi Thea,

I don't really understand why you don't want your mother to talk with your boyfriend's mother. It seems like a normal thing for her to want to do - especially since you and your man have been together for two years. Do you mind elaborating?

If your mom is embarassing you for some reason, try not to worry about it. Her actions only affect her - I'm sure nobody will think anything less of you because of what your mother does or says.

Also - you should find out if your boyfriend's mother wants to talk with yours. I don't see why she'd be opposed to it, honestly.
