What would you do if your 25 year old came home with a 61 year old?

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 can't see the difference between this and Weinstein with the women who voluntarily exchanged sexual favours in return for career progression.

I have a relative who is 67 and married to a 33 year old so a similar age gap, I don't get how she is attracted to him personally but she is a very well educated adult so obviously knows her own mind.

I agree it smacks of some of the Weinstein cases, obviously not the more serious ones where he physically forced himself on some women. But it seems there’s plenty of others who went along with things, apparantly at the time quite willingly who are now saying they felt they had no choice. Women who at the time were photographed hugging him, etc.

Who your 25 year old son wants to have consensual sex or a relationship with is not your business,....unless it's an underage person.
You don't have to like it....just put up with it.

What can you do? They are both adults and can make their own choices.
I likely would think a lot of things, but I probably wouldn't say them.

If the 61 year old had the amount of dosh that Madonna has, I'd slap him on the back and say "Well done my son".

The age gap is similar to that of my mother and adoptive father.
Their respective ages means fuck all.. It merely denotes the year in which we were born and has bugger all to do with what makes us happy.

If it was a 61 yo male/boss person of power and a 26 yo employee people would say it was unacceptable
Would they? I certainly wouldn't, unless I knew for certain there was coercion or harassment going on. It's perfectly possible for a boss/employee to have a relationship without any abuse of power.

AIBU in thinking I would have her arse kicked?

Dunno but ...... as a woman getting ever nearer 61, I'd strongly caution against 'having my arse kicked' for liaising with your adult son

there was an article about Guy Richie in the paper this week. Looks like a relationship with Madonna is quite lucrative...
