Can you please let me know what is wrong with a 31 year old hanging out with a 37 or 38 year old?

Question

My mom tells me I should hang around with people my own age. I'm looking to meet new people and i talked about this nice woman I met who's 38. I get so annoyed with her ignorance, she figures since this woman is that age, plus divorced and hads kids, it's not a good idea to hang out with her. My mom thinks I should hang around with women who are my age and single. Do you think this is ignorant of my mom?

Answer 1

Nothing is wrong with that!

Answer 2

Paula,

how can you confuse love for ignorance?

She only wants whats best for her daughter, I'm a mother of grown children and a Nana of 12 grandchildren.  If we do things that are considered not agreeable to our children can't it be thought of as something positive as caring and wanting the best.

Saying this, why not set up an inprompt lunchon  with the friend, mom and you and make it a place where the talk can be pleasant and fruitful.

I would give her a chance with the lunchon and take it from there. Give it a try................

Answer 3

Yes I think it is very ignorant.  She should mind her own buss.

Answer 4

just  tell  here

Answer 5

youre 31 and your mother still tells you who to be friends with? thats very odd. plus she should be more concerned with how this person acts than with how old she is.

Answer 6

your mother has no say in who you should or shouldn't hang out with anymore.. you're a grown woman

i think if you think she is annoying.. then don't talk to her about this because it's not her business anyway

Answer 7

Your mom is right.

Just try to look at your self in 10 years and see how old will be your woman. You ll be still in good shape and spirit and want a more active life as your partner will be more settle and will want something calmer

so thing about

Answer 8

Answer to yourself.  I'm 36 and my fiance is 32.  Sometime there is a differ enc in talking about the past.  Music, fads etc.  But today we are all on the same page.  My personal preference is to stay with in 10 years of someone.  Either way.  Clearly the closer you get to the edge, it could be more difficult, but a rule of thumb I've tried to live by.  Go with your heart.  Sounds like you are in "range".

Answer 9

Answer 10

Nothing is wrong.. with hanging out with older people. You are a grown adult and should make your own decisions.

Maybe your mom needs to get a life

Answer 11

Your mother is probably worried but you are an adult and should make your own decisions.
