I'm not sure if this is the right board but I need to get something off my chest. Dbf's mom is a little too... (can't think of the right word so I'll use a few) attatched/clingy/involved with my boyfriend. I always had a hunch but the last few days have just plain creeped me out.
Ok a little background. We live at his parents house and I am being "raised" a whole new way from the way I was raised at my mom's. For one, there is no such thing as privacy or "alone time." She has come in our room at 11pm to "look for the dog," whom she knows is always in our room. I have always thought that "grown ups" assume teenagers are "getting jiggy with it" at all hours of the day... So why would she even think to come in so late? We weren't doing anything, but still. And when the chance came up for me to take dbf on a free vacation on his first trip to DLR, she said NO
. Flat out no. He asked her 100 times and she had no reason but the answer was no. So finally he asked his dad, who said there would be no problem with it since he was 19 years old at the time
. Naturally, he had a great time! Every time we go she gets really emotional and asks us how we afford it (which, if we make our own money, should just be none of her business, you know? We just SAVE $$!). Another thing is that she is SO needy. She asks everyone to do everything. She doesn't do anything on her own. We have to run to the grocery store, rent movies, even buy her lottery tickets. I came from a family which everyone does their own thing, and I am not used to this.
Any who, the last few days I have gotten very irritated with her. I almost feel like a jealous vibe from her. We were eating out with his family at a crowded restaurant and like always, a conversation about my boyfriend came up (He's literally all she talks about), and I said something about how he can be mean. His sister agreed and his mom did NOT. In a voice as if you were talking to a baby, she said "He is not, he's a sweet boy!" And proceeded to turn to my
21 year old boyfriend, and pinch his cheeks, in broad daylight.
I looked around and people were LOOKING at us. She just praises the ground that he walks on. If me or his sister say anything even remotely negative about dbf, she just disagrees and talks in her baby voice and saying he's such a cutie and everything. Joking or not, it's really getting to me.
Is this weird?
(Even if nobody reads this, it feels nice to write it out!)
