I mentioned awhile ago that my two sons (15 & 16) moved to Georgia this summer with their dad (heartbreaking yes as I am in NH) ... I got a text message from my 15 year old asking if I was seeing anyone, which I told him no. This was his respond
"I don't like the idea of you being lonely mom, I think you need to just get a boytoy just make sure he has money"
we then had a discussion about what is ok and what is not ok to say to his mother!

hahahahah! Well his heart was in the right place, just work on his delivery!
Ive said it before and Ill say it again...it sounds like you have done an amazing job raising fine young men. And where do I submit my application for this boytoy program? LOL0 -
That's awesome!!! I honestly wouldn't be offended by that (though I would hope my son knows it's hard to have a "boytoy" when you're "waiting for marriage" lol).
My mom got married to her boytoy that never went away when I was 16. She thought I was grown enough to ask if she should marry him or bolt since when they got together 2 years prior it was "just gonna be a fling."
I just yesterday had a talk with a mom whose infant and 2 year old were both about to get shots. I told her it was easier when my son got his shots as an infant b/c he couldn't talk. Then, for his 2 year old shots, he pulled my guilt strings with "Mommy, WHY are you letting them DO this to me." I've always encouraged open communication, but that backfires on me sometimes when he starts off with... "Mommy, I know you're gonna get mad about this... but... " I can't imagine what I'll here when he's your sons age!0 -
Oh my lord....
Unfortunately my first thought would be "Great, the ex is poking his nose where it doesn't belong and feeding my kids full of crap they don't need to know about"
Second, I would think "Awww.... my kiddos love me NOW COME HOME! I don't need a boy toy.....I need my little men" ha ha ha
Smart kid, never marry for love, marry for money.... LOL (I'm just kidding don't crucify me!)
Kudos to you for doing what you are doing.0 -
I agree with open communication. I just wasn't ready for the boytoy comment ... lol
When I was torn between dating or not and I was talking to a friend about it the same son came into the room and said "look mom, the right guy for you will not add more stress to your life, but will do everything he can to make your life easier and see your smile"
Your right Will, they are incredible young men.0 -
and this is the same son that went up to his brothers basketball coach and said ... "you know my mom's single right?"
he is quite relentless0 -
Awww I think he just wants you to be happy. Maybe to him it means being with someone.0

Hehe! That’s great! Your son is older, so this won’t apply to him… but back when my son was trying to push me to get him a new daddy, I dug a little deeper to discover it was simply because he associated having a new daddy with getting a pool.0 -
of course this is also the son that when he was 4 and saw me doing crunches, this is the conversation we had:
Kyle: "mom why are you doing that"
me: "so I can be skinny"
Kyle: "oh ... its not working yet"0 -
Not too bad. Hope you're meeting some decent singles!0
-
That's priceless!! He sounds like quite a character. I think his heart is absolutely in the right place, and he probably does worry about you.
And besides, what's not to love about a moneybags boytoy! LoL

My son offered to be my coach lol...0 -
Strange, I had a very similar conversation with my mom last year... Haha!
My dad and I have talked about him getting a new woman too, I told him this time I needed to approve of her cause he can't stop picking women that are no good for him!0 -

Hahaha!! That is too cute!! My 5yr old daughter is just as persistent. We were in Lowes signing a contract for my new flooring and the salesman asked if I had any questions. I didn't, but my daughter just as sweet as could be says "excuse me sir, my mommy's number is xxx-xxxx". We both blushed horribly and I apologized to him, and scolded Allison. Her response "What, does he have it already?". ...she's so eager to marry me away. I must say she has good taste. She's tried introducing me to men in line at the grocery store and gas station as well, all good looking men (all have been taken, though). LOL0
