A WOMAN has blocked her best friend after discovering she had slept with her 23-year-old son.
The anonymous woman, who shared the alleged incident on Mumsnet, was left shocked when she discovered her girlfriend of two years was cheating on her with her son.

To make matters worse, her son, who is five years younger than her boyfriend (28), is said to be in a steady relationship.
The mother claimed on the popular parenting forum that she had disconnected her friend and blocked her contact on her phone.
According to the woman, it wasn’t the age difference that bothered her, as they are both adults. However, she did criticize her best friend for showing absolutely no “boundaries, standards and values.”
“I have been helping this friend with food for herself and her cat for the past few months, as she has been unemployed and depressed, etc.” the post reads.
“She has a job now and just a few weeks ago she told me how much she values our friendship and how grateful she is that I came into her life and that she appreciates everything I’ve done for her.
”She had already slept with my son! I’ve known her for two and a half years… [I’m] “furious!”
The mother added that her son has apologized for his behavior since the news broke and that she has urged him to confess to his girlfriend.
Hundreds of Mumsnet users reacted with astonishment to the comments and criticised both parties for their bedroom madness.
“That is disgusting behavior,” one user responded in dismay.
“I would have done the same thing. And yes, very disrespectful of her to come into your house and do that. Shame on her.”
Another agreed, adding: “Age doesn’t matter, it’s disrespectful and just unnecessary.”
A third was furious: “She is not a good friend and I don’t want her in my life anymore,” while a fourth concluded: “They are just as guilty and immoral as each other.”
But not everyone was fiercely against the former boyfriend and felt that the blame should be placed on the cheating son.
Several people urged the young man to keep his mouth shut. One person said: “It’s your son who is to blame, not his friend.”
