Dear Abby weighs in on public displays of affection in young love, motherhood, and adoptee-birth-mother relationships.
My son is dating a girl I can’t stand. I’m not too crazy about my son right now, either. I no longer want to be out in public with them because their public displays of affection are so over the top it makes me ill. I cannot imagine spending every holiday, birthday or whatever with them for the rest of my life. He hasn’t told us anything about this person. We don’t even know her last name. Help!You didn’t mention your son’s age or how long he has been involved with this young woman.
If you would like more information about the girl, ask her in a non-threatening way. Then make sure your son knows how to protect them both from unwanted pregnancy and STDs “should the need arise,” and wait them out.I am a 49-year-old mother of 10. I always loved my kids dearly and tried my best. But I wanted to be a friend rather than a disciplinarian, and I always gave in.
After the ceremony, we are going to have a reception at the church and then a dinner with 20 people hours later. I’m not sure if I should invite my birth mom to the dinner or not. My parents said it might be awkward for her and for them. I am just trying to do the right thing. What should I do?This is something you should discuss with your birth mother.
