How can I keep my mother from meddling in my love life?
I’m at the end of my rope. I have had a strained relationship with my mother ever since I caught her and my husband in bed together ten years ago. I’ve tried hard to forgive her because she is my mom. Every time my relationship with her seems on the mend she’ll wreck it by saying something inappropriate.
Yesterday she said to me, “Dear, if you can’t satisfy your new boyfriend send him over to my house?” She scares off all the men I meet!
Please don’t suggest a three-way — she’s already suggested that too!

The positive way to look at your situation, is to say that your mother is involved, and takes great interest in your life. Many parents take a couple of decades off from their kids once they leave the “nest”. You should be grateful that you still have her around as it will save you a bundle in babysitting fees and Christmas presents.
However, I do sense your frustration when it comes to the men in your life…
Have you ever considered getting her a pet? Your mother having a new emotional outlet will most likely distract her from your boyfriends. It might also teach her to express her frustrations in new ways.
I recommend a dumb, but cute pet! Picking out a dumb one will ensure that she can’t teach it to perform horrifically perverted and disgusting things. No matter how desperate your mother is: don’t put animals in harms way! But at the same time it also needs to be cute enough for your mother to get emotionally attached to it.
Here are a couple of safe pets to consider: hamster, goat, guinea pig, rat, mouse, llama, parrot, and raccoon. Actually anything weighing less than seven pounds, or has jaws strong enough to bite off a finger could also be considered safe.
