What do you think of a mother who acts like a teenager?

I didn't say that when you say you are older you are not privilege to enjoy your life. What I was taking into consideration is be responsible to yourself and to your children when you want to have a good time in your life. That's just the only thing that you should watch out.

Yeah maybe that's it..maybe she do have some kind of an "obssession" from her past..and your also right,her children are more mature than her when it comes to decision making and acting..I also notice that sometimes when I come with them if they're going to the mall or so..her eldest daughter tries to tell her to behave..and I can't believe that her own daughter did that but I understand why..the mothers behavior sometimes is out of place..

Well, in my opinion, she should never be coming home drunk. Or even out drinking when she knows she's going to be responsible for her kids when sh egets home. If they're spending the night with friends, then she should go for it. Just because we get older doesn't mean we should stop having fun. Now, she really should step back and take a look at how she might look wearing those clothes because what looks good on teens, looks trampy on older women. But, on the other hand, her immature attitude is just hwp she is. Instead of forcing her self to become someone she's not now that she's older, she's chosen to remain the same person she's always been and i dont think she should change jut because it embarresses her kids. This is HER life too and she has probably spent her younger years pregnant (with four kids) changing diapers, cleaning up spills, listening to them crying and tattleing on each other and if her kids are old enough now where she can go out and have some fun, then she had better do it now before she DOES get too old to go out and do anything. She gave her life to her children, now they really should just leave her be.

Well yeah maybe that's whats going on with her but her decency is way over gone..she should still know what she is and her responsibilities..and being decent infront of your kids is one of her responsibility,if she wants to earn a respect from her kids then she should start behaving herself like a mother..

Now you just sound judgemental. I really don't have anything good to say about people who think they should determine how other people dress and what they consider 'decent'. I did tell you I agreed that she shouldn't be drinking in front of her kids if she has young kids, or going home drunk and passing out, but what I said besides that stands. If someone attacked me over what I wore, you know what I'd tell them? Your body belongs to YOU, and YOU dress it. My body belongs to ME and I dress it. Butt out. There is no law or rule about how anybody should dress, and it is not based on age nor occupation. This is very disturbing to me. There was another discussion I responded to about a pregnant girl and someone was griping about her wearing a tshirt that didn't cover her belly and short shorts. I don't see how what she was wearing had anything to do with anybody else. If you don't like it, don't freaking LOOK. You can close your eyes and hold your tongue instead of being an obnoxious jerk.

I think that's normal..teenagers do feel embarrased when their parents tend to tell them stuff..I think if you know thismother I'm talking about you can very well talk to her and try to make her understand what a true mother is..:)

Well you have to know that sometimes men do say that to their wife or their girlfriend..that's normal because men in a relationship always acts as the mature one but sometimes women do reach a line wherein some point they act like a kid..I'm sure your husband didn't meant that..and as the others mentioned there's nothing wrong with acting like a child as long as you know your limitations..:)

She got pregnant and started a family at a very young age..she said that's the reason why she enjoys her days right now..but being drunk infront of her kids is not very mother like..and what we wanted her to realize is that what's past is past..she made a decision to start a family at a young age so she should stood up for what she did and not doubt everything that happened..

We tried talking to her about how she behaves but she doesn't take us seriously and she only listens to herself..What you've mentioned is exactly hat we wanted her to realize..

You gave me an idea I might suggest those things you've said to my friend..and that's it people like them do act like a fool most of the times..

Apparently she still have one second grader daughter,one son who goes to high school and two daughters who are working..they all still live in one roof..having mention that,there's absolutely nothing wrong with having fun but she should also know her limitations..

She did miss her teenage life because she gave birth at her first child at an early age..but that doesn't mean she should act like this she's still a mother and she should behave herself like one..she can't go back or change anything at all because it's all too late..it's her decision to have a life like this so she should stood up for it and for everything she did in the past..

That's also one thing I don't get with women,most of them don't accept the fact that their already aging..I mean we all should be prepared for this because we know sooner or later we'll all get to the point that we're going to be old not gonna be teenagers again..life's like that we're all mortal and have to deal with things like this..

Actually same with her..she gave birth to her first child at an early age maybe that explains why she's acting like a teenager..but that's her fault because she decided to have a child at an early age nobody wanted that and she did it to herself..the children have nothing to do with that because that's her decision..now,what she should be thinking of is that "past is past" and you can't go back and change everything anymore..that's he fact she's not facing at all..

well,she doesn't need any attention because she got lots of it..she has alot of friends..my friend gets embarrased of her sometimes because she doesn't know her limitations..

Seems to me like you see her as cool..I get that impression too before but as time pass by,the way I see her attitude changed..it's just too way over cool now..
