Im fuming with her tbh.
Split up with husband of 8 years dec last year.
Moved area, new house, new job,new childcare, knew noone apart from family. Had horriffic time with ex - things slowly seem to have settled down, but its been a really rough ride.
Ended up ill with stomach ulcer..
now finally in the last 2 months or so im starting to feel like me and am actually liviing as opposed to just getting by day to day.
Anyway - got asked out last weekend, didnt tell anyone about it ( why should i, im 31?) DD was at her dads. Had some drink, bloke was so fit, came back to mine and stayed in bed all weekend. I feel fantastic about it. Had to tell my mother, who kept bloody phoning and asking who was there. So thought, i had nothing to hide and was honest, she was going on about meeting him and how i said i had said i didnt want to be in a relastionsip. I frankly told her, it wasnt like that, i wasnt in a relationship ( god it was one night!) and that he was only in the area for a few weeks with work.
Then this bloke came round this week. She called the next day and asked how it went, i said to her, that i wasnt going to discuss my sex life with her... To which she replied that she didnt realise i had slept with him and that i was behaving like a total slut.!!!!
Im fuming. Now shes is bleating on and on to my sister about how ive gone off the rails! Its ridiculous. Ive slept with one man since dec last year.. its sept now... I certainly do not regrett what i did at all, in fact it was just what i needed.
I also told her i have a date with someone else next week and she told me if i wasnt carefull i will get myself a reputation.
so... AIBU?

on a serious note you doesn't need parental approbation

nice but not essential

Notaslut and Maggie.. My Mum acts in a similar manner. She has phoned up before now when I have had someone over and is so thickskinned and intent on her own agenda that all hints I wanted a bit of private time fell on deaf ears. When its finally (politely) pointed out that I'm with someone she gets all huffy. I have had a few one night stands and although she has never said it outright, usually people will think I'm a slut I know what she's hinting at

Her other favourite pearl of wisdom when knowing I'm going to see someone etc is "you are sure he isnt after your (non existant) money. Its nice to kneo your Mum thinks a man would only fancy you for money

yanbu... but do u think maybe that your mum is worried that you'l go down the same road she did after her divorce? maybe thats why she's overreacting?
