Son's girlfriend is rude
44 Answers
Our son's girlfriend is rude and always making fun of him or something at our house. We can hardly stand this anymore. She makes fun of him in a laughing way... makes fun of his growing baldness or how he has done something. She is make fun of pictures that she is looking at that are from the past. I just think this is very disrespectful when they come to visit. I want to say something but so far have not. Don't want to make either of them mad but especially do not want to make him mad at us or cause him to stay away from visiting us. It is very hard to listen to someone criticize your son or family. We have certainly never done this to her. I want to speak with him about it and need advice as what to say.

Maybe you could have a quiet word with your son, saying that some of the things she says about your husband's family or where you live is upsetting you?
I wouldn't say anything about what she says about your son, as the others have said. I'm sure he's old enough to be able to stand his own ground on that matter (if he wishes too!). How long have they been together?

Quite honestly making fun of someone in a laughing way isn't as bad as critisizing them in a hurtful way. The fact she laughs about it might mean that it doesn't bother her. I too have that kind of humour of making jokes of things especially if I'm surrounded by people who are too serious. i often laugh at old photos due to hairstyles, clothes etc a lot of people do. If it bothered your son he'd say something.
Our son is 27 and gf is 26. Maybe we should make fun of her weight when she mentions his hair. She has alot of faults herself but we do not point them out. And if I was viewing pictures of her family from years ago I don't think I would have a comment for every picture. Sometimes people just need to shut up. I still feel it is rude behavior when you are a guest in someones home.
It could well be just a sign that they are totally relaxed in each other's company. My OH takes the micky out of me all the time - whether we are here or at my parents'. My mother normally joins in with him.
I regularly say things to my OH like "oi baldy". I don't mean anything by it at all, it's just part of being in a relationship.

only if you want to stop seeing your son.....
if she makes rude joking comments about you to you then you are allowed to riposte, as it is if I were you, I would stay out of getting between your son and his current Gf unless, as I said, you want your son to stop visiting. Baseline, his life, his choice.
