Mom Posts Ad Looking for a Daughter-In-Law

Folks, be kind to this poor guy. My dad, when I was in college, caught me in a moment of extreme weakness and got me to OK him putting an ad in the paper for me. On course, after I had gotten some sleep I realized what I had done, but I figured, hey - he's observant, he posting for someone observant, I am extremely non-observant - no-one'll be interested, and I don't have to hurt my dad's feelings. (Turns out some guy in his thirties still living with his folks was interested, and I had to let him down easy.) But if anyone had attacked my dad for that ad, I would have defended him to my last breath. He did it out of love .

Wow, there are so many nutjobs on here that think that this is a good idea. It's insane. Both him and his mom need therapy. His mom is codependent, and he isn't doing the leg work. He's relying on me. How old is he? 37? Come on. Lets be realistic here. There is something really twisted about this. And by the way, I know myself better than my parents. I would never let them choose my mate for me, nor would they want to or impose such a thing. There are more divorces nowadays for many reasons, it doesn't have much to do with parents not picking the mates. Anyone who agrees with this - please see a therapist and save your kids the trauma of having to deal with an overbearing, egotistical parent.

I see that no mention of why he hasnt found someone else to be with was never discussed. For many men , like myself , approaching a woman is sometimes very difficult.He may not be the kind of guy that feels comfortable going to bars and meeting women. He may not be athletically involved with any sport where a mutual interest is there to talk to a woman about and get to know her. I was raised in a poor family and had nothing as a child. I was over weight, had bad teeth and was ridiculed all the time as a child and grew to have many insecurities about myself. I have always been called the clown and life of the party because i enjoy making people laugh but when it comes to talking to women thats another story. For this mother to care enough about her sons happiness and well being and having his blessing ,she is stepping forward and helping him find a woman that wants a good man to be with and enjoy life with. While I dont think I would want my mom to do this for me , I think it is a cool thing to have happen. There are a lot of good men still left out here that would make great husbands or life partners but we have a hard time stepping up and taking that first step. I wish both the gentleman and his mother great success and hope there is a woman out there who understands what he may be going through and take that chance. He might just be the one ladies. And if there is any young lady out there that would enjoy discussing this can contact me at iamidonttalktou@aol.com

I can't believe Cici posted a phone number. Even if it isn't her home number, she is going to get some wild calls at all hours of the night.
I must be one in a million. My entire extended family has no In-Law problems. Everyone loves everyone. The parents always encourage and never critisize. I go for a party and after 5 minutes I look like a clown with all the lipstick on my face from all the kisses. And we aren't any type of fanatics Religous, cults etc. We do go to church, but some go Catholic while the others go Protestant. We will curse now and then, have a beer or cocktail and even laugh at a dirty joke. I'm 56 y/o and have never seen anyone even raise their voice. Am I blessed or what?

I can see it two ways. In all honesty I could see my mom doing the same thing for me. I know how badly she wants to see me happy... I am very strong woman, with my opinion and very blunt. Unfornately I have found that most men can't handle that. I can see my mom putting an ad up for me to find someone...But she would have to like him first. that would hell of a interview. LOL

Other side of that. If she is the one putting up the ad. Does he want a wife, he didnt' seem like he was too worried about it. not to mention. does he let mom do everything for him. Is her word law. I just got divorce from my ex who was like. as long i did whatever his mom did we were golden but the moment I had my own opinion or couldn't do what she had plan. She was at my throat. Unfornately I don't care she was older than me I was back in her face just as much. Personally I couldn't date someone like that again he would have to have his own and opinion. Can't do that agian. I don't like being with a doormat.
