Our parents are another generation and it doesn’t seem “normal” for mom to date one of your peers, but age difference is their issue to deal with.
Dear Lisi: My parents divorced a few years ago and my mom has been dating on and off since then. We live together in the same house, so she isn’t alone, and as I’m still single, for now; it’s fine with me.
I want my mom to be happy, of course, and she did have me very young, but there’s still more than a dozen years between them. And he’s MY contemporary, not hers. I’m just not sure how I feel about all of this.Don’t label your mom a cougar just because she has found love with someone younger. You didn’t say she was only dating younger men, or specifically looking for someone younger. I’m not a fan of labels.
Recently, we realized we needed to move and started looking at homes. I’ve learned ways to direct him to choices I would like as well. He’s chosen a house I adore. But now there’s work to be done.
