God help the girl that breaks DS's heart

[stoppinattwo]

This has all come about because he starts secondary school in september and the girls are getting to be more of an interest, he is spending more and more time infront of the mirror in the morning before school,

Its not that I think no one is good enough...goodness me no, but lets just say, my bar is high .....and god help the girl that upsets him....as mum is a force to be aware of ....

Funnily though DD, I think will be completely fine, I almost fear for the man she chooses - she is very like her mother ...knows what she wants and usually gets it - although DP has a completely reversed opinion

Am i being terribly judgemental....or just a typical semi psychotic mother

You are nuts

As long as you confine your nuttiness to MN, you'll all be fine

Let it seep out in RL and you will guarantee your ds a life of lonely bachelorhood.

Oh well, I reckon he's just too ugly to attract any girls in the first place.

yanbu! there is something that happens when you have a little boy, i'm exactly the same and my ds is only 22 months! i think i just want to protect him from all the pain in the world but thats just not possible, so i keep my crazy inside lol. i imagine if i have a daughter ill be more relaxed. i can imagine her looking after herself, my dh on the otherhand might go a bit "godfather" on her and interview potential dates!

I've already pointed out to ds (15) the girl that I've decided he's going to marry. She's yr 9, tall, slim, mixed race, v v elegant and I know she's bright because she was at the prize giving & sat next to ds.

They're going to get married once he qualifies and have four children, two boys and two girls. They'll live 5 miles from me and I will look after the children for one day per week.

DS just looked at me like this and when I told him.

Can't think why.

notnow bernard....that is absolutely 100% correct......and lol when i read your response

Im completely bananas....but I shall reserve my right to give prospective gf's the "mothers hard stare!" if they upset him...would that be ok..

A lot of his friend who are girls (that is how he refers to them) actually think Im a cool mum .....they have no idea

Cory......you do well to hide behind that sofa ma girl....you have to come out for a wee sometime!!!

Witchywoowoo....thank god im not the only one

I must be the hardest Mum in the world; I think it would do DS good to have an unreciprocated crush. At the moment he leads rather a charmed life, clever, happy, god-looking etc. It will do him no harm at all, to realise he can't always have everything he wants, and that he is not actually God's gift to the world. Plus, if some girl breaks his heart, he'll always have Mummy to come home to.

mumblechum....can I tell you a secret.....she sounds perfect...does she have a sister...prospective yr 7???

can I just say....Notnowbernard...you name is the funniest....I imagine you to look like that bridesmaid in four weddings and afuneral..

My son is too good for any woman. It's just a fact.

Mind you the world is going to have to try very hard to find anyone good enough for DD too.

DS2 - beleive me there won't be anyone out there who'd dare to take him on. He's too off the bloody wall

I dont worry about DD1 - she is her mothers daughter and wont take no shit!

DD2 however is too laid back.... I will have to watch her, as I have a feeling she will get walked all over.

DS - well, he is MINE! No one will ever be good enough for my baby (he is only 2yrs old though ) He is probably going to be more like his daddy and be a heart-breaker through-out his teens, and then hopefully find someone just like me lovely and caring and will look after him

Make sure you don't end up the M-I-L from hell !

God you lot - all your Daughters in law will be on here in 20 years going on about their MAD Mil's who worship their sons.

Blimey, mothers of boys, you are a different breed

Ragwort...I am THE most reasonable person in the world and I feel like Im a reasonable judge of character....I would supprot 100% any future gf of DS's because he can be a lazy trout...however....if she ever hurts him, or is bad to him, etc etc...god help her

Am very concious about not being MIL from hell, part of the secret is having GF on good terms. (listen to me the poor boy is 11Yo) I really am neurotic forward thinking arnt i??

Getorfmoiland.....we are indeed, isnt it funny the way you feel completely different with sons and daughters...

Dont get me wrong, if anyone upset DD I would give them a real problem....but I really dont think it will happen, she is too much like me

I think dads are more protective of daughters though.

My dad had "words" with my DH on our wedding day along the lines of "one step out of line and you will have me to deal with"

Luckily, I knew about my dad doing this (he had done it with his sisters too) and had warned DH so he took it lightly. My DH and my dad are really good friends now!

I'm worried my ds will choose someone like me.

euuuwwwww Cory

You do realise this is all based on envy btw, stoppin? no girl is ever going to be attracted to someone with table manners like my ds

LOL at that post...

Were you never a teenage girl?!

I am quaking in my boots at the thought of the dds hitting adolescence

I am not too worried about DD. She will lead her boyfriends a merry dance I imagine.

She has a boyfriend at the moment and it is very sweet.

DP hates the idea though. Says 'he is going to break her heart, I know what teenage boys are like'

Cory...come out from behind that sofa ya big banana.....If i began to list all DS's faults no girl would go near him.... infact that is an idea....

DS1 might be a worry, I have friends who want him to marry their daughters... might start a nice bidding war
DS2 I don't need to worry about because he has written me a note saying he wants to marry me. OK he may only be four, but it's written down.

I will be a nightmare MIL.
