Thread: Mind your own business!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had it. My son's girlfriend's mom needs to not pass judgement until she knows all sides of the story.

Last night was the second time she tried to confront me and talk me out of punishing my 16 year old son, She only hears Zach's side of the story and since he comes off as being a sweet and innocent kid, she is putty in his hands.

I have had a hard week ( a sick kid with a ruptured inner ear infection, who has been in a lot of pain since Monday, which means I have been going on 2-3 hours a sleep for the las 4 nights). My son knows that and when he had gotten home last night, late mind you, he wanted my DH to wake me up so his girlfriends mom could talk to me and explain why they were late. Hubby said nope, she needs to rest, and told her that she could explain as much as she wanted but he was only the middle man and Zach broke his moms rules.

I called her this morning and told her she shouldn't be taking Zach's side and backing him up if she doesn't know the whole story. I explained to her that he was told to be home eary because he needed to do his chores that have gone untouched all week and since he is going to his dad's this weekend, they needed to be done last night. I also told her that Zach has been caught in a couple lies this week and hasn't been as repectful and responsable as expected of him.

I am glad she cares about my son, and he is a good kid but he is not perfect, and around other people he is sweet as molasses. We care about her daughter also infact this week my hubby was offered Kings basketball tickets, great seats on floor level and since I was taking care of a sick kid and a few weeks ago, my 14 and 7 year old sons weent, hubby took Zach and GF. She is like part of our family but I would never talk to them about how I disagree of a punishement she had recieved from her mom.

Her mom needs to talk to me before she passes judgment on my parenting because being a parent of a teenager is hard enough without being undermind by another parent.

You are absolutely right. Tell her that you will not tell her how to raise her child and you expect that she will offer you the same courtesy.

My kids were the same way...perfectly behaved around other people. But, come home with lots of attitude and total distainment for their parents. Thank goodness hubby and I lived through those teenage years and have wonderful grown children now.

Sounds like you need extra (((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) for dealing with a sick child. Hope he is better soon!

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but your sons girlfriends mom should not be passing judgement about your son and you AT ALL! It is NONE of her business how you disipline your son.

That is exactly what my hubby said.


When she butts in like this, Zach just gets more of an attitude. And of course when she tells the two kids (DS and GF) that she doesn't agree with me, of course Zach thinks I am totally wrong and argues with me more. I hope after our talk this morning she will butt out and realized the Zach she knows and the real Zach are completely different. He is not so sweet and also a little sneaky.

Oh, so not only is she butting in, but she is creating more of a problem too. THat is just soo wrong.

would she be so supportive of your son, should her daughter end up pregnant?

sorry, but had to ask.
