Dealing with mom's sex life...advice?

[RRay99]

I live with my mom, and while she's great, she's a very sexual person. While I don't care about who she sleeps with, it does affect me. She sleeps with different guys, and if I don't catch a glimpse of it, I'm usually hearing it.

When I complain, her usual response is that's she's an adult and I'm a big girl.

I'm going crazy because I'm partly embarrassed by my mom's behaviour, almost always feel horny (and as a result guilty) when she has someone over, and really awkward when I meet the guy.

The guy she sees most often is ok, but I sometimes feel like he's checking me out...

Not sure where I'm going with this, but if any of you have advice I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Ray

Its an awkward situation alright and hard to do anything with since ur living at home and all...maybe try and sleep over with friends more or play loud music in your room maybe..it'd b some distraction! If this one guy is making u uncomfortable u really need to talk to ur mom

If it makes you that uncomfortable I would suggest maybe talking to a trusted aunt/uncle and expressing your concerns. If an adult talks to your mom, she may be more receptive towards your concerns.

Thanks Ariel and Taryn. It's just me and my mom though, no other close relatives, but I could try talking to some on my "aunts" who are my mom's friends.

Did you tell your mom how you feel about the situation ?

If the situation is making you this uncomfortable, you need to address the issue with your mom pronto- you shouldn't have to be subjected to this. If you were her adult daughter (See: over the age of majority, and not simply a teen), it might be a little different, but you're not.

Also, if the men she's bringing home make you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, she's not doing her job as a parent and PROTECTING YOU.

if you feel uncomfortable, then you need to talk to someone about it. if you have another adult that you trust and can talk to, do that. maybe that other person can start the conversation between you and your mom. you need to get your feelings out in the open. maybe there is a good reason that you should be uncomfortable around him.
