why does this make me mad?
whenever my boyfriend comes over, he and my mom will sit and talk forever. and for some reason this makes me sooooo mad! he's so irritating cuz its like he's trying to show off and impress her with all these stories about himself. and she listens to him and laughs like he's the funniest person she ever met. my mom says he's just trying to make a good impression because he likes me so much. and she says she only listens to him because his own parents pretty much ignore him (which is true) and she's just trying to be nice. but it still really bothers me, and i'm not sure why. i know i could join in their conversation, but instead i just get mad. why does this bother me so much?

it might be b'cos when your boyfriend comes over, he comes over to see you and not your mum and you probably expect to see him pay you a little bit of attention at least.
i think your mum is right b'cos your boyfriend oviously loves you and is just trying to make a good impression towards your parents. also if his parents ignore him all the time then it would be good for him to have another parent take the time to sit down and listen to him.
i think you just need to think of it from your boyfriend point of view... why not join the convo once and a while! if not talk to him about it he'll understand...

well if i was in your situation, i would feel as if my boyfriend wanted to talk to my mom more than he did me, which would cause me to get jealous/mad. your boyfriend is just trying to impress your mom because he wants her to like her because no boyfriend wants their girlfriends mom to not like them. you're very lucky. you could try talking to your boyfriend to cut down on the storys and just be friendly without having a conversation for a long time. hope i helped<3

I have no idea. Don't worry about it. It's really good that he's trying to get to know your mom. Why? Because she's your mom! You should be flattered that he's at least trying to get to know her & impress her. It means that he really does like you & wants your family to like him as well. Try not letting it irritate you & take it as a compliment. If he didn't care for you, he wouldn't make an effort like that. Would you rather him not talk to your mom at all & just ignore her when she's talking to him? Probably not! If his parents ignore him, your mom seems to be reaching out & being polite. They should get to know each other though. You are dating. He probably feels comfortable talking with her. If his parents ignore him, he needs family figures somewhere, right? Since he's dating you, he probably feels that your parents would be the closest thing. Try not letting it irritate you. Look at it through a different point of view. There's nothing wrong with letting them talk for a bit or joining in on the conversation.

hey, well i understand her point of view. that was how my mother was with my ex boyfriend. dont talk to your mother about it, talk to your boyfriend. let him know that it bothers you. if he knows it doesnt make you happy, im sure that he will cut down. talking to your mother was pointless, it doesnt make your boyfriend cut down on the talking. people cant fix what they dont know that there doing wrong.
