Crazy mother?

[InnerRebellion]

My girlfriend's mother is just absolutely nuts. She's the only parent of any of my friends to dislike me at all, which surprises me. Why she doesn't like me is: she doesn't like my father, is influenced by the hatred me and my girlfriend had for each other when we were TEN, and of course my well "life-fucking up mistake" (got pressured into making a hate blog about a kid who sexually harassed my best friend)and being an Atheist(didn't know Christians rule the world now) That was almost 5 years ago, and even the courts have forgotten about it. My girlfriend isn't allowed to date, but she never listens to her mother.

Now, tell me if this makes sense: A guy who is my friend likes my girlfriend. Her mom likes him. She wants her to go to the Semi-formal with either him or her ex who moved away. The "friend" went and asked her to Semi. She turned him down. Her mother grounds her. Her reasons? "Turning him down" and "getting a C in Spanish".

Is she as crazy as I think she is? Or am I just not being sensible with my dislike for her?

While there are two sides to every story, and I have no doubt that the "facts" you're being told are colored at least somewhat by the person telling you them, she does sound a bit off her rocker.

My ex's mother hated the crap out of me, why? Cause im not catholic. Once I broke up with my ex, her mother absolutely LOVES me! We're in the same boat apparently.

She hates me for being an Atheist, I might add.

 

[Quaxar]

Oh no, she's not crazy. She's just a person trying to live her life through her daughter, that's completely normal, right? Right?

 

[NotAPie]

Well she's just a bit paranoid.
There is really nothing you can do, then again I never had this problem.

Wo wo wo, alright so you are asking us to make an answer to a question which requires a large amount of assumption and trust in you, OP, that you've been truthful and posted all detail. If the incident is anything like what you have described, then I can't believe we can make a decision that isn't biased towards you, give more detail from both sides of the arguement(s) and then maybe we can make fair answer.

 

[redblinky]

She's not allowed to date anyway so waste of time find some box thats a bit easier. Life's too short to be trying that hard

 

[Count Igor]

SMITE HER DOWN!

Oh wait, you're an Atheist. That's where my stronger ideas are, being one myself.

Memorise the enite "Origin of Species"
Go to her Mother.
If she isn't a creationist, persuade her to ber one (This may take a while)
Learn to say things reallyreallyreallyfastabitlikeyahtzeebutevenfaster
Take a deep breath...
Then hit her over the head with the book.

ok i understand getting grounded for getting a c in spanish but for turning down a guy?

your girlfriend's mother needs a fucking hobby
how about knitting or crochet or start a bowling league

If I gave detail on everything, I'd have to recount my brush with the law in fifth grade. Doubt you wanna listen to that.

If you are telling the absolute truth, she's strange at least. Best thing to do is just wait until she changes, and she will have to, or lose her daughter. It's a bit selfish to make your daughter choose between her mother and her boyfriend.

 

[Kiefer13]

So basically she's punishing her daughter for turning down someone that she doesn't want to go out with? Definitely sounds crazy and overbearing to me. I'm not sure there's anything that you personally can do about it, though. Aside from perhaps convincing your girlfriend to talk to her mother about it.

 

[Free Thinker]

Get a straight-jacket now! That woman is batshit crazy! Grounded for turning a guy down? W...T...F...

What's a semi-formal to start with?

This can be very true. I'm not calling your GF a liar or anything like that if that's who is telling you, not even sure if the quoted thought that, but sometimes the truth can end up a bit twisted or exaggerated.

Basically what they call the Underclassmen dance. We don't dress in suits, but we have to dress nicely: dress shirt, dress pants, dress jacket for the guys, skirt and blouse for the girls.

Basically what I was going to say.

From the sound of things, she has no reason to like you. Everything you have done that she knows of has left a negative impression. So why would she want you going out with her daughter? I can see her logic. Unless you do something to clean your reputation in her eyes, I don't see that changing. Thinking she is crazy isn't exactly a good way to start.

My girlfriend isn't allowed to date, but she never listens to her mother.

Now, tell me if this makes sense: A guy who is my friend likes my girlfriend. Her mom likes him. She wants her to go to the Semi-formal with either him or her ex who moved away. ?

If she isn't allowed to date, then why does her mom want her to take one of these people to the Semi-formal? Sounds more like her mother doesn't want her dating people she doesn't like.

She hates me for being an Atheist, I might add.

How do you know this? Did she directly tell you this? How did she even find out you're an atheist?

Nope, wasn't assuming she was lying, I just know that teenage girls tend to paint pictures that make them look more favorable when describing events to boys. Just human nature, really.

1: I'm well known throughout our community as a hardworking kid. I, along with my father, helped completely revive and modernize the shoddy TV station here, and we make all town meetings viewable by those at home. I'm also around the school, donating money from my own pocket to help repair the shoddy building. Our family is disliked by people who don't like us because we haven't lived here since our grandparents were born, and unlike us, her family has been here since the town was founded.

2: Her mom believes there's a difference between having a boyfriend and going to a dance with someone.

3: Because the one time I was at their house, she was rambling to me about how Christ will save me and I said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry but I don't believe in your Christ." She said,"What do you mean?" and I replied, "I'm an Atheist."
