to think mum has a crush on dp

[EvaM]

...and finding it highly amusing.

So, my mum had recently met new dp when visiting me (i'm german, my mum still lives there).

In calls and facebook chats she's taking in great interest in how he is and what he's doing, just referred to him as 'MY [DP's name]' and get's very red faced when you're suggesting it jokingly (yay, skype).

She denies it, of course...

At this thread.

My uncle married his sons girlfriend. That seems more predatory than the stories of the other way round somehow.

This happens all the time in take a break et al.

My sis ran off with her fil (to be at the time), about 25 years her senior, came back after a few days and then carried on as normal, she married her Dh had two more dc, fil went back to his dw. Now they all play happy families and pretend it never happened

Reminds me of the whole Bill Wyman/Stephen Wyman/Mandy Smith situation - not sure how family gatherings work in those situations...

oh that is odd Hattie. There's nowt so queer as folk

my mum used to flirt with my ex dh it was not nice. My dad has always flirted around my brothers girlfriends and his ex wife. I have very narcissistic parents :(

I have an an aunt who came on to my brother we think there is a bit of swapping going on yuk

at some of these.

Never mind old hat :D. This thread is helping me finding it funny rather than creepy (almost) and re-assures me that my mum could have been a lot more out there than she already is.

Being very generous towards your Mum OP (and others) perhaps seeing you madly in love reminds her of the first flush of youth and that is what is bringing out this odd behaviour.

I know when I see DS and his mates showing off to the girls in their year, it always makes me wistful for when I was younger, and the world was carefree exciting place, where the only worry was about what to wear on Saturday night and who to get off with.

However it certainly doesn't want to make me flirt with his friends though I just go off and stalk my teenage exes on facebook instead
