Ive always had success w the opposite sex and think Id be a great parent. But I believe my mothers views of my girlfriends have made me less committal because no lady satisfies her. She goes out of her way to criticize the kindest of my LTRs.

My mom is strict religious (almost amish). She infers shes prefers my fooling around into perpetuity as long as i dont surface w a heathen gf. All optics. I realize my last decade of promiscuity has hurt me.
Anyone else have a fundamentalist parent?

I’d like to be more proactive about toddler psychology, what’s to come and how to react/ teach. TY!
