That's an insane double standard.
Age is a number. Souls are eternal and so is love. What matters is do they have about the same maturity, values, desires in life, agree on how to live life, respect, iq, have a ton of stuff in common, such as hobbies for their spare time, find all the same things funny, like the same movies and TV shows. Understand what life ahead holds for both of them.
I am in a wierd position as I did not attend school in the united states, so my values and views are really conservative. I've never done drugs or anything illegal. I love to donate money to charity, so I will never be rich and need a mate that feels simular. I already posted my experience.
For mom's I stress staying close to the son/daughter. Don't condemn the relationship. If you don't like it, simply bite your tongue and have NO OPINION. Be civil to everyone. That way you save the love of your son.. he won't hate you for hurting him... same with daughters.
Also remember that if 18 is old enough to die for your country. It's old enough to have any relationshipo they desire.
I have kids that age now.. and that's how I would approach it.
Hope it helps.

You know if every 18 year old thought the same then your statement would make sense. But that is not the case so just because some 18 year olds are old enough to fight for their country..ALL ARE NOT!!. You can look at that boy and tell that he was not confident about the choice he had made. That woman gives the name pedophile a new meaning. Okay that may be a little too strong of word but you get the drift. Momma is trying to relive something she hasnt been getting in her marriage that is why she is separated. Baby boy is missing a relationship with his mom. Im 51 and a couple years back I dated a man 23. While he was very attentive and sweet, the gap was there and it doesnt go away. We lasted all of 5 months but the difference between me and momma is I dont have a spouse, ex or otherwise, and he lived on his own and gets along fine with his mother. I would like to find all the traits that were in that man of 23 in a man of 43 or 53...but momma and baby boy are doomed. She knows its not right or she wouldnt have wrote Dr. Phil. She was secretly hoping he would condone it
