I love the title. Indeed.

There are moms like Barb out there. And she wasn't afraid to speak her mind. She was brave to do it on national TV though.

I don't think she's a bitch. She's a mother, maybe a little too strong willed and as we call them - 'helicopter' moms, but she has the right to voice her opinion like anyone.

I just don't agree with her. It's also a cultural thing. Since I am Chinese, I can tell you that a lot of my relatives who are just like Barb. In some cultures, children don't have as much freedom and they are expected to listen to their elders. I still live with my parents too, though did live on my own for about two years when I worked a bit farther away. I am back living with my parents now and I am older than Peter.

That all being said, I fully support Peter wanting them to trust him and his choices. That's a battle I fight from time to time too. Thankfully, my parents have become so open and understanding because I do often think differently than them.

I grew up in the US, while they grew up in China so it is to be expected.

Must be embarrassing for Peter to have a Helicopter Mom on camera

Hanna Ann won't shut up either, she continues to slam Peter. I think she said her piece twice, now move on

Quote:

It was lame of peter to propose to Hanna when his heart was not in it. Bad move there. Hanna is a sweetie.

I like Madison and she is right, its not just about Peter, its her journey too and they have to be able to compromise. Peters mom said that Madi wasn't but thats not entirely true? She asked him not to sleep with the other women and he did, and then she agreed to give things a shot... I think that is compromising.

With that said, I dont think Barb is as big of a "bitch" as people are making her out to be. She gave very valid reasons as to why she doesn't like Madi. Madi was late to meet the family. She apparently said she wasn't in love with Peter and wouldn't accept a proposal.... And after Barb said all this and Chris gave Madi a chance to respond she didnt deny the accusations or apologize at all? I found that very strange. If her and Peter are going to try to make it work then Madi could at least do everything she can to get in their good graces, and she should have started with apologizing. I can see from a mothers POV how Hanna being all about Peter would be more enticing.

Reposting what i wrote in the last thread.

I agree that madison seemed very debbie downer at the meting and its no wonder she didnt make a great impression with the family. I remember when my sister and husband started dating, one of the first things that happened was that he went to another country (they were traveling abroad with their college) and was seeing another girl. He and my sister were not official at the time, but I remember it left a really bad first impression in my mouth that was hard to get over. None of my family liked him. So, I get what her family is going through.

HOWEVER,her mom needs to be an adult and accept that its not her decision and support her son. Its not like Madison is a devil lol.

Hanna has every right to be pissed! He freaking proposed. So not cool. But what is she saying? lol.

I didn't see Hanna's claws until the finale live.

~Janice~ · 03-13-2020, 05:04 AM

Just heard on the news Madison and Peter have called it quits already

a fine mess · 03-13-2020, 10:40 AM

To be expected. Mama wasn't happy about the decision. Madison is better off, I think.

~Janice~ · 03-13-2020, 12:41 PM

I think his mother's negativity put too much pressure on Madison. Peter needs to move out of that house and on his own

**Alexa** · 03-13-2020, 03:51 PM

Im not surprised. And apparently Madison is friends with Selena Gomez, what?

Weird.

I bet Peters mom is jumping for joy. Its just too bad he didnt have stronger feelings for Hannah because it could have been a lot easier.

**Always & Forever** · 03-13-2020, 07:41 PM

Kinda sad, but not surprised.

His mom was just too much, though.

So wrong!

~Janice~ · 03-14-2020, 06:14 AM

I wonder if this caused a rift in his relationship with his mother

a fine mess · 03-14-2020, 10:17 AM

Not at all. Did you see Peter's latest Instagram story? Mama Barb telling her son that she loves him.

**Alexa** · 03-14-2020, 01:08 PM

Hilarious. I wonder if his mom has effected his other relationships?

**Always & Forever** · 03-14-2020, 01:33 PM

Well, it obviously hasn’t affected his sex life...

She probably only still loves him because he’s not with Madison anymore.

Who knows if he would have even still been engaged to Hannah Ann?
