I'm talking about Madonna and her "new" toyboy lover. Apparently they have been seeing each other for a year and are planning a future together. AIBU in thinking I would have her arse kicked?

I've a 25 year old DS. If he brought home a woman older than me I'd be quietly appalled, quite honestly. I wouldn't normally dream of interfering in his relationships but in such a case I might not be able to keep my feelings to myself. So in fact not so quietly appalled, probably.

Yes to this. I have a DS25 too and am younger than Madonna by quite a lot. I find it disgusting she goes for such youngsters, To me that age gap they really have nothing in common. She's trying to stave off old age the silly old woman.

Missillusioned · 22/12/2019 14:59

It's Madonna. He's not going to lose the chance to become a father. It's a fling, nothing more.

Straycatstrut · 22/12/2019 15:02

I just don't know how you could with someone soooo much younger. It's like I'm 30 now and 25 feels too young! more boy than man. But that's me and my sexual preference and I've always preferred older men.

Hey ho, all legal all consensual!

. A year or two back I was enjoying watching a local band play, when a youngster came over to talk me, to cut it short he was a 21 year old US (horny) US Marine who thought I was the best looking women in the venue, so wanted to take me to a hotel for the night.

Im not Deirdre from Greggs, (or Madonna) more Susan from Sainsbury's. There was much banging that evening, sadly only due to the size of my ego knocking against walls and fences while I rolled it home. (it was to big to carry for a week or two and yes this is a stealth boast.)

Much as I wouldn't be impressed if one of my dc introduced me to their much older partner, if they were not vunerable emotionally then I would of course be supportive.

midep · 22/12/2019 15:16

I wonder if he's seen her with her gloves off yet.

NarwhalsNarwhals · 22/12/2019 15:21

I would ask if he had thought it through, because right now Madonna is pretty fit but presumably age will actually catch up with her at some point, but realistically when DS is 25 my opinion won't matter anyway.

I dated a man 38 years older than me for just over a year, I was 19, it was a lovely relationship while it lasted, we broke up on good terms and are still friends, I'm not sure if age would have become an issue once he started looking old and his health started going but it certainly wasn't an issue when we were together.

VanyaHargreeves · 22/12/2019 15:22

I would be HORRIFIED

But more that he'd brought home a raging narcissist than the age thing.

Though if it wasn't Madonna and just you know Gladys from Number 30, I'd be equally Shock

MarianaMoatedGrange · 22/12/2019 15:27

Gladys? Deirdre is the goer here!

VanyaHargreeves · 22/12/2019 15:28

I hadn't RTFT and hadn't met Deidre BlushGrin

MarianaMoatedGrange · 22/12/2019 15:32

Both G and D might be up for a 3some though Crown Grin

FestiveFavourites · 22/12/2019 15:34

If my son had a chance to be Madonna's toyboy, I'd be kinda happy for him. He'd experience a lifestyle that is completely out of his world. He's also a fully fledged adult and if he wants to have a fling with a woman of 61 or 21, it's NOT MY BUSINESS. Even if he chose Deidre.

I think it's worse for the children of the older woman, tbh. I would be cringing inside and out if my mum had hooked up with a man younger than me 'for sex' - aaaaaagh.

Somanysocks · 22/12/2019 15:38

I would expect the 61 year old would be rich to be attractive to a 25 year old.

FatherRabulaConundrum · 22/12/2019 15:39

I wouldn't fancy kicking Madonna's arse. Arse-kicking is probably one of the components of her merciless fitness regime. She can get her leg places you wouldn't believe.

Whereas Deirdre just has a very sharp tongue on her.

CalamityJune · 22/12/2019 15:39

I think it's not nice at regardless of what sex the couple are. If my son did this i'd be seething.

Leonardo DiCaprio goes lower down in my estimation every time he gets a new girlfriend in her early 20s. In many ways he presents himself as so worldy wise and above the Hollywood machine, but he trades his women like they're hatchbacks with a few too many miles on the clock. He is a parody of himself.

Age is not just a number when it comes to relationships.

Toddlerteaplease · 22/12/2019 15:41

I did exactly that. My parents were really upset. We were a couple for 6 years.

madcatladyforever · 22/12/2019 15:43

She's only doing what multi millionaire men do. We see them dripping with models everywhere we go and people don't care.

I don't feel comfortable with it whether it's a man or a woman but generally I'd keep out of it.

My last husband was 12 years younger, he turned out to be incredibly immature and it didn't end well.I'd prefer a decent intelligent conversation with someone who is my own age with my interests but I don't think Madonna is that concerned about conversation Grin

ConfCall · 22/12/2019 15:51

He won’t lose the chance to be a dad. It’s a fling. She’ll be bored of him eventually and will kick him to the kerb. She does what she wants.

Nanny0gg · 22/12/2019 15:51

@Lifecraft

I wouldn't be happy with my 25 y/o son coming home with 61 y/o Deirdre who works in Greggs, but a 61 y/o multi millionaire superstar who looks much younger, bangs like a shithouse door and a gale, and will no doubt take him around the world on private jets for a few months before she got board with him, I'd say crack on and enjoy the ride. He'll come away from it with some amazing experiences, having met loads of interesting people, maybe a Rolex or 2 and a new Porsche, and perhaps the phone number of a few of her 25 y/o dancers!!

How happy would you be if it was your 25 year-old daughter and the millionaire was male (think: Harvey Weinstein)

touchdaqueef · 22/12/2019 15:53

She's so creepy, and have you seen her bum implants? There's a video with her and arianna grande, you can she them flapping about while she "twerks".

What would you do if your 25 year old came home with a 61 year old?
Mistlewoe · 22/12/2019 15:55

I read the title and thought someone's 21 year old daughter had brought home a 61 year old man. I'd be horrified. In this case I'd think he was after her fame/ money.

BikeRunSki · 22/12/2019 15:56

This does rather remind me of the infamous interview with Debbie McGee “What was it that first attracted to the millionaire Paul Daniels?”.

VanyaHargreeves · 22/12/2019 15:56

God, I didn't see the "bangs like a shithouse door" comment

How coarse.

In addition the Rolex comment is really sex for financial gain. Happy for your 25 yo son to prostitute so a 61 yo can bolster their ego that they still have "it" ?

Again, no.

Tinytimoteo · 22/12/2019 15:59

The rules are different when its a rich woman.

glitterytrainers · 22/12/2019 16:02

VanyaHargreeves are you being serious or have you had a humour by-pass?

VanyaHargreeves · 22/12/2019 16:04

In your eyes, presumably the latter, I think that's a horrible way to describe another woman.
