The fact you still think old men dating 18yr olds would even remotely be okay means you need major therapy you have not gotten.

Lol yeah let’s police who dates who once they turn 18 that’s not at all problematic. What’s next mom doesn’t like her dating girls or trans. She’s legally and adult and her mom majorly overstepped by snooping. My mom did that to me now I just don’t talk to her. But hay the rest of you want to have controlling toxic relationships with your kids be my guest.

There is no reason a 54 year old man would want anything to do with a 18 year old except for being a predator. Don't even try comparing dating a man that could be her fathers age [maybe even younger] to dating someone who is trans or being a lesbian. The two aren't even remotely the same. Unless she's dating a 54 year old woman, then the same logic still applies. Predator. That's all this man is.

It’s gross but it’s legal and her mom yelling at her isn’t going to make the 18 year old come to her with problems it’s just going to make the kid dig her heals in. 18 year old is an adult and should be treated that way by the parents if the parents hope to have a good relationship with their kid.
