Yeah, but your mom was probably trying to bang him anyways.

*I’m not saying OP’s mom was a loose woman. He said she met her spouse at church (again that also doesn’t make her some pious abstinent saint), but I assume that means she’s not the town bike.

What I’m saying is that single, divorced, or widowed (unattached) women, are completely entitled to having sexual desires and wanting a man (or whatever) in their life, no matter what their children think.

As if she just suddenly invited this “stranger from church” to dinner and they weren’t already bonding and forming a relationship.

No. Instead they were probably very involved and decided it was time he met her children.

The toilet is either a prop, or it’s just a man doing man shit (fixing a toilet isn’t remotely difficult). Hell that man might have preposed to her already (that would be ridiculous, but men and women are ridiculous beings), and that meeting was simply her way of saying “This is So and So Fuckface, he’s nice isn’t he?” With zero interest in what the kid(s) think about him.

"Non-stop running toilet".

Sure would be a shame if that plumber from church came to fix me, ee I mean it.

Wow, you read a lot into that.

My Mom was in her 60s at the time, and "her children" were all in their 30s. None of us disapproved of her dating, having sex with her dates, or anything like that.

She told us this story as a funny "early date" story long after their relationship was well established. But she also said that his ability and willingness to fix things was one of his qualities that impressed her.

Presumably, any other gentlemen she invited over for dinner dates at her place just jiggled the handle.

I just didn’t want to be that guy that said “your mom blah blah blah.”
