No, it is not normal--you should get a life of your own. But that depends on how old your daughter is--if she's 12 and has that many boyfriends, then yes there is probably a problem. But if you're both grown up women--it's silly to be jealous of her: you're in different stages in life, everything is probably still pretty new to her and she is eager for fresh experiences. You should relish the fact that finally your daughter is grown up and you can enjoy your own independence! Go to a single's club or sign up for a MeetUp group. Good luck!

Thats lame for u to stop her from going out because of that reason , go find a new path in ur life , enjoy ur freedom and arent u married ? 0_o

I dont think its that strange but I think is messed up, selfish and sad. I have known mothers like that and it horrible. Your daughter WILL pick up on this and it will effect her later on. Get a grip and be happy for your child if people like her and she is pretty. You made her and you must have made her pretty and sociable and how dare you begrudge her that. There is no exuse. You should try and form a better perspective before it comes back to bite one of you in the butt. Let her have the attention as long and its safe and in good fun. I'm sure you are a good mom with a good kid so be proud of her.

So you hurt your daughter because you choose not to have a life. She has to sense your motives and that could hurt your relationship with her long term.

Go to the gym, get in shape (round is not a shape), grow your hair. I cannot overemphasize the importance of looking good as we get older.

Older women can be radiant and have a special charm the young ones lack. I know only a FEW like that.

mm I think instead of being jealous.. you can be constructive and give her advice from your experience? I think it's pretty useless to feel jealous.. But, as "Cheeryspider" said.. if she's too young then it is a problem.

Well, she's starting out in life, and yours seems to have taken a detour. So yeah, I can see how you'd envy her youthful vitality, innocence and the freshness of her life.

But it is wrong to hold her back just out of envy.

Its time to get out there & rediscover life for yourself.

yes it is normal but you shouldnt stop her form living her life just because your jealous of ner

How petty and immature is it to keep her in?
my mum is exactly the same, as in she has told me on several occassions that she's jealous of my appearance and social life.
you're her mother, grow up.

You're kind of a sh*tty person.

I don't think it's normal. I thought most mothers wanted their children to have better lives than them anyway.

Stop being so selfish, your daughter isn't a kid anymore. So what if she has had more boyfriends than you? Someone your age shouldn't be jumping around from guy to guy, looking for unstable relationships anyway. I think you should be proud that your daughter is making something out of her life.

You're being a big baby. The reason you don't have a life is probably because you sit at home in front of a TV or computer screen. What's preventing you from getting a job, or taking classes somewhere, or doing something constructive with your life?

Just because you're jealous doesn't give you the right to stifle your daughter and keep her from having fun. Unless she's having sex or doing drugs or something of course.

Um, no it isn't normal to be that way as you are appearing to be yet another parent in a sea of crap that is out there.

However, you daughter should be spending more time in school and less time being a skank. However, you don't think this way as you secretly want to be a skank yourself.
