Her Mom Keeps Trying To Set Her Up With Awful Men And Even Plans On Inviting A Random Guy To Christmas, So Now She’s Going To Skip The Party
This 41-year-old woman is currently single, so her mother– who is 71– won’t stop trying to set her up with new men.
And while she understands that her mom is just trying to be helpful, she thinks that her mom has absolutely horrible taste in guys.
On top of that, her mom and dad are already in an abusive relationship and really mistreat each other. That’s why she doesn’t trust her mom’s judgment one bit.
Now, the most recent guy that her mom set her up with did seem okay at first. She even met up with him a couple of times before realizing that he was super strange.
She eventually found out that he had actually been living in a tent with his ex-girlfriend right up until they met.
“Then I found out that my mother knew nothing about him either,” she revealed.
“My mom had literally picked a random man off the street– she had met him once at her church– invited him to dinner, invited me, and then pushed me to befriend him. I felt physically unsafe with him.”
She has also been in therapy for the past few years, working to get through the psychological and emotional abuse she experienced from her parents. So, she actually keeps minimal contact with them and only sees them for holidays.
Well, her mom recently informed her about a plan to invite a guy named Alex to their family Christmas party this year. And spoiler alert: Alex is just another random guy that her mom met at church.

“It will be the family and this random guy and lots of nods and winks towards me to befriend him,” she said.
Upon finding out about that, she just told her mom that since it was her house, she could do whatever she wanted.
But she’s still really annoyed because she’s told her mom on numerous occasions that she doesn’t want to be set up with anyone. Yet, it appears that her mom has decided that she “knows better.”
“I’m frustrated, and I plan to simply not go to the family party,” she vented.
However, before she ditches her family on Christmas, she’s been left wondering if skipping the holiday and calling her mom a terrible mother for trying to set her up again would really be the wrong thing to do.
Why do you think her mom keeps insisting on trying to set her up with men? Can you understand why she is so annoyed and doesn’t even want to go to Christmas anymore? Do you think telling her mom off would be the best way to handle the situation or not?
