... to think it is wierd for a mum to wash her adult son's hair?

Right, I am only on MN as my DP has forbidden me from mentioning it!

He told me that one of his best friends (26yo) has his hair washed by his mum when he goes home. Now, is it just me or is that just f'ed up!?

Eerrwwwww ! HannahHack, rest assured that this is far from normal and frankly its almost cringworthly depressing ! Really? Does this guy seriously have his hair washed by his mum despite being an adult man. Good god, Im feel all dirty and freaked out now!

This is the first and hopefully only time when this has been brought to my attention and is very very weird inexcusable !

Oh dear, oh dear....I take it OP that this guy is stark bolllock naked when this strange hair washing takes place. Yuck! Do you really think being friends with such people is advisable? he-he

YANBU. I walked in on my mother washing DS's hair once and it made me feel incredibly uncomfortable although I couldn't put into words why, it just did.
They were in the bathroom with the door wide open. Mother likes to clean the bathroom quite often so that wasn't unusual in itself but when I looked into the bathroom, DS was on his knees bent over the side of the bath with no top on and mother had one leg each side of him washing his hair.
I peered round her and she was running her fingers through his hair whilst rinsing it.
I was and spluttered 'What are you doing? Can't he wash his own hair!!?'
She laughed and said 'What's wrong with washing his hair?'
It just seemed wrong.

DS is not ill or disabled. He has no health problems. He is 22 years old and lives with my mother which is his choice, not mine. My mother also makes comments of a sexual nature around him and talks explicitly in front of him to his friends.
DS has told me this and mother just cannot see what is wrong with this.

It makes me feel sick.

Sorry Just realised I've revived a zombie thread. There wasn't a warning when I looked on my phone. Apologies everyone.

Unless he has SN than that's grim, if I were a woman I would run a mile in tge other direction.

I've occasionally washed DS's hair, he's 21 and doesn't live at home.

His scalp is very very flaky and despite nagging he still hasn't visited the GP so l attacked him with a cup of warm olive oil and scrubbed his scalp for all I was worth. Worked wonders actually and since then T Gel has kept it under control but it had built up so badly that it really needed a good scrub.
