Telling mum about first girlfriend?

by **troyes** » Mon Mar 05, 2012 1:31 am

Ok, I don't actually have a girlfriend, but I'm getting to know a girl who really seems to like me, and I wanna ask her out.

Anyway, I know that my mum isn't strict and would probably support me. But, she'll more than likely tease me for the rest of my life...

But that's not what I'm worried about... My mum has a tendency to talk about people behind their backs. She's always talking about friends and family to her sister and mentioning things she doesn't like about them. She'll say "did you hear what she/he said?" or "did you see what they were wearing" or even imitate them using a high pitched voice... I know she doesn't do it out of spite, but I don't want to bring a girl round a girl and have my mum talk about her in a negative way when she goes... It really annoys me when she talks about her mother in law or my cousins, so god knows what it'd be like for my girlfriend. Is there any way I can avoid this?

Tell your mom what you typed here. And she probably wont tease you for the rest of your life, just the rest of hers. Assuming you out-live her, which you should

My mother does this exact same thing! It's SO annoying; I just don't want to hear it!

I'd explain to her about that ^^ first properly and how you feel about when she does it. Be mature and calm and reason with her as to why you'd just rather not hear her being like that. Then maybe later on, like the next day, mention something about the girl situation and add on something about how you trust her to be supportive because that always softens them up!

Hope I helped!
