Boy haters

[Anonymous]

My nephew is moving to Portland Maine for a job. We are super excited for him.

However my SIL who has never really liked him-yes his mother-said “He is only going there for the pot culture like all guys do.”

She acts like her son is awful, dumb and apparently a pot head -which he isn’t.

I did say “you know girls like pot too.”

And she said “after a boy introduces it to them.”

If the question is Does the mother suck? The answer is Yes, yes she does.

You think you love him more than his mother? Is she a patient of mental illness or are you?

To be fair, men are the main proponent of violence, alcohol, financial fraud and drugs in this world. However, women raise them so if we can't have a good influence, we can't blame them exclusively.

Isn't it Portland, Oregon that has a pot culture? Portland, Maine is not famous for that.

But yeah, not sure what your question is. Your SIL seems to be pretty down on her son, but also moms tend to know more whether their kids are potheads than aunts do.

OP, you don’t have to put everything in your head on the internet.

Chiming in from Portland Maine - there are plenty of dispensaries because cannabis is legal as it is in many states, but there's not much of a "pot culture" whatever the heck that means. It's a great, wee little city to live in and hope he loves it.

You should just told her she sucks as a mother, not that girls like pot too.

Did you ask her why she sees it negatively? What are her reasons? And if that is the case, is there a way to help him make good decisions.

So he's escaping his mother? Good for him.

She seems really judgemental and overbearing. I'd wager she's upset he's moving so far away because it's going to be more difficult to manipulate him and exert her will upon him.

How do you know he's not a pot head? I've been trying to have/help my son, who is in College, quit marijuana for years. He started when he was 16 hanging around the "cool" crowd. It broke my heart to see him stoned and wasting his life away. With my help, and tutors, he managed to get good grades and therefore was able to go to College.

I don't tell anyone of the "issues" we had in his teen years but he was awful and a pot head for a long time. I don't if he's still on that path, but he's an adult and keep up with his grades - and that's all it matters now.

Not sure your SIL is a "boy hater" but you don't really know what she has gone through with her son...

I think she is expressing her worst fears with someone she can trust. You might have caught her at a low point.
