Name changer here as my dc know my normal username.
I am quite prepared to be told that I am bring unreasonable, I genuinely just don't know.
Last week, my 23 year old son laughed out loud at a text he was reading. I asked who it was from and he said x from work. He's mentioned x a couple of times, and I know she's married with two young children. I 'casually' asked if it was to do with work and ds said that no, they just exchange texts sometimes, just chatting and joking really.
I don't know why, but I just feel a bit uncomfortable. I know my ds is an adult but he's also my boy and I can only think of one reason a woman my age would be texting a young man. I think she's probably getting some sort of excitement out of it. And I think ds is naive enough to not realise this.
So, am I just being PFB over ds who is fully entitled to text whoever he likes? Oh, I should add that if there is even a sliver of hope that I am not being unreasonable, then what should I do? Warn ds about the perils of middle-aged women trying to brighten up their lives by exchanging banter with young men? I feel like a horrible person even typing that. She may well be lovely.
