What should I do about my daughter's boyfriends mother being so mean to my daughter?

Question

The two are 17 and fight a lot over jealousy, however his mother talks about my daughter behind her back and my daughter has tried to talk to her about this.  She is very two faced and I am trying to think of a way to help my daughter by talking to her myself.  It is really upsetting my daughter and her boyfriend is afraid to talk to his mother about this.  He told me that himself.  These are still kids and I don't think it is appropriate for an adult to talk about kids like she is.  I treat her son with respect and always welcome him into our home.  I need some advise.

I suggest tha you stay out of it.  I can almost guarantee that you will only make the situation worse if you interfere.  These kids have chosen to be together.  They need to sort out the accompanying problems for themselves.  They are almost adults, you need to let go.  I know it can be hard.  I have a 20 year old and a 17 year old, myself.  You can't protect your daughter forever.  And this is not a situation that you are likely to affect positively anyway.
Best wishes.

Although it may be embarrasing; YOU try to talk to the boyfriend, his mother, and your daughter all at once. Bring these problems out into the open. Let eveyone have a chance to speak and get it out. This should make things better. 

 Hope it helps

stay out of it. this is something ur daughter will have to learn on her own. there are going to be many mothers of bf's that dont like her (ive had a few that were doozies) but its just a fact of life. even the guy she married might not have such a nice mama and she will have to deal with that one far too long. and if the bf isnt a big enough man to stand up to his mom he will either learn to or be under her reign for the rest of his life.

well i think its completely normal how she reacting my mother is like dat too she hates my bf but she treats hm with respetc, its probaly dat the mother just want the best for him all parents want the best for their kids(hapiness) or she probaly wont accept that hes growing up and doesnt want to let him go. trust me my mom is like that, dont panic.

her son should talk to her..thats rly the only thing i think is gonna make a difference...you should talk to her again...and its rly immature for an adult to talk about a kid like that..very very immature..you would think she had better things to do..

You're the parent, you're in charge. Tell your daughter to break up.
