You cant really tell her that though....The mother will always be close to her daughter. Is she over protective?

Ohhh...your sister. She's enabling her, isn't she?

You don't. Nothing should interfere with the mother-daughter thing, especially not some deadbeat controlling man. Besides, a mother is a good baseline for what the daughter will look like in 20 years, so she should be kept around for future reference. laugh laugh laugh

She's not over protective, it's nothing like that.

Define "relationship" are you talking incestual relations? You are leaving much open to interpretation here.

have her make a list of the pros and cons of the relationship. Then she can decide for herself.

Okay.

If you tell a mom that, I feel that you are risking hard feelings from that mom. Parents don't like to hear negative things about their children.

Nothing wrong with a mom being friends with her daughter as long as the daughter is grown up and the momming is done. The raising part anyway. Unless the mom is intruding and trying to live like a youngster through her and her friends.

I've seen that.

My dad was my best friend but he didnt wanna hang out with my friends and I. Truthfully, I wish he were here right now.

But what if the mom only has a realtionship with the daughter because the mom is taking care of the daughters child? What if the daughter having a realtionship with her child is actually hamrful to the child?

I agree. You simply lay the information out in an educational manner and leave the mom to make her own choices/decisions. Under no circumstances do you come right out and say, "It's best if you were not friends with your own daughter."

That comment (or even that type of comment) is liable to end in blood being spilled..lol.

The daughter chooses the boyfriend over her own child and pratically has to be forced to see her child, it's not good at all.

Well...Mom...is trying to do the best she can...Child has NO say-so in the situation, so, Mom will do whatever she can...and, I hope she will NOT give up on daughter either...although, you can't force someone to be responsible, and to be loving...Many grandparents raising their grand-children, because of lack of responsibility of the parents...thats just a sad situation...:angel:
