just wait until YOU have kids, and he/she wants to meet someone off the internet. we will see if you still say this or not. :hatsoff:
Not the first time I hear warning like that. Of course, no one can predict the future. me ain't no exception. but if to judge on the basis of the past experience, I always used to be true to myself.
This opinion about overprotecting and negative side of 'mothers love' was not formed spontaneously. It is the reflection of my nature and is interconnected with many other views upon relations, family, freedom etc. This is my way of thinking, and probability of their radical changing is the same as the probabilty of becoming a completely different person. Time will show!
(but something tells me, that no way I be that parent who dote on the child)
and back to the topic, I just think that it is a bad start for relations with the girl if her mother seems to interfere in the private life of her daughter so much. it will be a problem on every step of relation: whether it would be first date, first kiss, first sex... there always be a place for mothers opinion and if a girl always asks her mother whether is it good or bad, allowed or not allowed it will be a farce (a possible dialog after a year of acquaintance:
"what?? he said that he wanted to have ORAL SEX with you??!! oh, what a shame!! never ever let this dirty internet bassstard come close to you, my dear daughter!!! etc..)
