Mom and ex are both adults; they can be friends if they want to. But they're completely trampling all over our protagonist's feelings and boundaries. She deserves better.

The fact that her boyfriend is letting this behavior go on despite our protagonist's discomfort is a massive red flag. She needs to get out of there, quick!

Mom invites 31-year-old son's ex-girlfriend to family vacation, he tells new girlfriend to be the bigger person when she expresses discomfort: "His mom thinks of Sarah like a daughter"
It's natural to want to get along with your boyfriend's mother; it's probably a good idea to get on her good side before she officially becomes your MIL, after all. However, if it doesn't work out between you and your boo, he's not the only one you'll end up breaking up with. Even if you and you ex-boyfriend's mom were two peas in a pod, it's not really considered good form to continue being besties after the break up. I'm still friends with my exes' moms — but only on Instagram and Facebook. We occasionally like each others' posts, and one of theme even congratulated me on my engagement to someone else's son!
Today, we examine a tale between two BFFS. The pair have a mother-daughter dynamic in their friendship, and their age gap can be attributed to the fact that one once dated the other's son. When the son gets a new girlfriend, she starts to feel pretty uncomfy knowing that his mom has already picked a favorite potential daughter-in-law.
