BTW, how can You pretend Your sleeping throughout the whole thing when Your mother is 'attacking' girlfriend You brought home with You? Jesus I can't even imagine, either Your brother doesn't give a fuck about her or he's a shy pussy. You always cover back of Your g/f not allowing Your mother to offend her in any situation. At least that's how my friends always behaved, because I've never had problems with mom and my g/f. | ||

I guess, in general, I'd just hope that the mother-girlfriend chemistry works. | ||

You tell them you're old enough to make your own choices (almost being 30 should be a clue) and to stfu. This is not only massively disrespectful towards the girl but to your brother too. | ||

After all, they are entitled to their own opinions. However, if they start actively "harassing"(I guess we could call it that in your brother's case), I'd tell them to cut it right there. If the relationship is not serious I might consider clarifying that; but I'm not really comfortable discussing my emotions with my parents, either. I guess, in general, I'd just hope that the mother-girlfriend chemistry works. +1, if it doesnt work then it will suck, but i do for sure think that in a swedish family they pretty much adapt and will try to appreciate the girlfriend | ||

And then the next part is about her picking on your brothers girlfriend, in a situation which probably is very uncomfortable just as it is (visiting gf/bf's parents first time etc.). It doesn't make sense, but the way of moms can't be explained logical i guess. Anyways, you should always stand up against your parents in a situation like this, you are not a child anymore and you shouldn't tolerate things like this. Imagine if it was the other way around, they would get so mad. | ||

You walked half that way since you recognize your mother's behaviour but you fail to confront or even stop her from abusing a guest and a girl in very vulnerable situations where she even offered her help and was close to crying. | ||

Also it could be that because you're younger it could be they don't see your girlfriends as prospective wives, but your older brother's they do. Anyways if that girl didn't already leave your brother than nothing's going to drive her away and he might wanna cut ties now if he's not serious. Otherwise should turn into one of those psycho clingy hyper dependent girls that he won't be able to get rid of. | ||

so I would suggest that if you get along with your mum, get ur gf to be nice about you, if you dont get along with ur mum, get her to take the piss out of you. If these things don't work, tell your mum to get her nose out of your love life, and then make some comment about how your dad's mum doesn't like her! | ||

This is a job for your brother. He needs to tell your mother that she already got to pick a mate, and that he's not seeking her full-fledged "approval" in this way. And god, I hope he doesn't bring this girl by again any time soon, it sounds like she's nice. How embarrassing. Stuff like this makes me sick to my stomach. | ||
