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

It's not just the boys though, is it?

It's the whole package

Sex, drugs n rock'n'roll and all that

God, mine are only 6 and 3 and I'm a bundle of anxiety already

I will seriously pity the boy who DD goes out with, she rules the roost....Im under no illusions Im going to have to watch her.....and probably any poor unsuspecting BF

Teenage girls are a mixed bag though.

DD veers from being the most confident and jolly girl in the world, to real heartbreaking vulnerability.

It is a hard age, teens (14). They can be all loving and sit on your lap for a cuddle, and in the next breath give you dirty looks and mutter dread words under their breath.

Ds1 - They are welcome to him and i wish them luck.

DD - can look after herslef.

Ds - Nope, no one is good enough.

There is going to be a stream of posts on here in between 10 and 20 years saying, "AIBU, or is my MIL / MIL-to-be a fucking nutcase?"

Thing is, teenage girls these days are bloody GORGEOUS

So if I am noticing them, I can only imagine what every other heterosexual man and boy are thinking

I am slightly paranoid, I think

lolol at 'they are welcome to him and I wish them luck'

Teen girls are indeed beautiful. WE all bloody were as well I expect, but WASTED all that youth and beauty sat in our rooms listening to teh Cure in a passion of self hatred.

My dd is lovely. Beautiful skin, clear eyes, slim and toned. Yet she looks in teh mirror and says she looks like a troll.

getorfmyland...that is asuch a shame...its like they have to do themselves down...and god forbid they should happen to completemnt themselves infront of their peers, for fear of seeming big headed...Someting as simple as " i think this outfit looks nice on me"...a cutting comment intentional or not can shatter confidence in one second

JUST noticed I have been likened to the bridesmaid in 4 Weddings

I am hoping it is Hugh Grant's sassy, laid-back best mate as opposed to the dippy Lydia

Though I fear it is the latter

Will try not to feel offended

I've also chosen who DS is going to marry. He's 4 and has already kissed and cuddled quite a few of his nursery colleagues but not the one I've earmarked yet. She's lovely and I get on really well with her parents and sisters. He'll realise soon that she's the one

Sometimes I think other cultures have it right that parents get to chose for their children. .

My mates had a moment with me when I announced that I'd prefer DS to be gay, meet a lovely partner so I'd have two lovely sons, and we could go out for lunch, spas and shopping together!

CUCKOO CUCKOO!!!

notnowbernard I wasn't thinking of the Four Weddings film, I always thought you were referring to the monster in the bottom of the garden who eats poor Bernard.

DD - Woe betide her poor BF's in the future...she's already told me that if she discovered her BF was veggie she'd dump him, ditto if he smelt sweaty or got fat....

DS1 - Is already a little heartbreaker at 8! I don't worry so much about him....

DS2 - Is faaaaar too sweet and loving and will probably get walked all over just like his dad especially as the girl he wants to marry is a very tempermental redhead with very strong opinions and has a personality just like mine and he tells me that they will both live with me so he never has to leave me...

My current bump...will never get married, have boyfriends/girlsfriends and will be my little bubba forever!!!!

I thought this about my ds(6) but then dh said ' well, he might be gay so it could be irrelevant.

My dd had only been in reception for a week when she got kissed by one of the lads in the class - turned out to be the vicars son .

If my dh and ds's reactions are anything to go by dd will be in the nearest convent they can find by the time she's in her teens - interesting thought considering dh is an atheist!

You all sound totally mad you know.
