We lost my dad about 4 years ago my mom just started dating I encouraged her to it’s fine. However she started dating the older brother of my friend who’s on my baseball team! He lives down the street, he’s 21 my mom is 41. This is the first guys she dated since we lost my dad! It’s been going on maybe 5-6 months! It’s ridiculous they are all over each other making out, constantly in the bedroom, I can often hear what’s going on. I’m friends with the boyfriend he’s a cool guy! But it’s ridiculous now we went on vacation in January my mom wore these ridiculous thong bikinis, she’s really fit and stuff so she always wears bikinis, but this were like super tiny strings!!! They were all over each other. Just tonight I went upstairs when they were in the bedroom. Her boyfriend came up afterwards and watched tv with me. 5 minute my mom in a little like bandeau tank top thing and panties comes up stairs sure with is sits in his lap and there making out she is like straddled on him making out! I go down stairs to get away 3 minutes later he is like carrying my mom like a fireman’s carry down stairs and they are back in the bedroom. This stuff is non stop! What do I say to my mom or do about it? Why’s she doing this?
It sounds like you are feeling uncomfortable and concerned about your mom's behavior. It is understandable that you would be worried about her dating someone who is so much younger than her, and about the level of intimacy and public displays of affection between them. It may be helpful to have a conversation with your mom about your feelings and concerns. You could start by expressing your love for her and your desire for her to be happy, but also explain that you feel uncomfortable with some of the behavior you have witnessed. It is important to approach the conversation with empathy and understanding, and to listen to her perspective as well. She may have her own reasons for behaving the way she is, and it may be helpful to try to understand her point of view. Ultimately, it is up to your mom to make her own choices about her relationships and behavior, but it is important to communicate your feelings and concerns in a respectful and loving way. If you feel like you need additional support, you could consider talking to a trusted family member, friend, or therapist for guidance.
If you're looking for examples of what to say to your mom in this situation, here are a few possible approaches:
1. "Mom, I love you and I want you to be happy, but I feel uncomfortable with the level of intimacy between you and [boyfriend's name]. It's hard for me to see you with someone who is so much younger than you, and it makes me feel uneasy when you are so physical in front of me."
2. "I know that you're an adult and you can make your own choices, but I feel like the relationship between you and [boyfriend's name] is moving really fast and it's hard for me to keep up. I want to support you, but I also want to make sure that I feel comfortable in my own home."
3. "I appreciate that you're happy with [boyfriend's name], but I feel like there are some boundaries that are being crossed that make me uncomfortable. Can we talk about how we can make this situation work for all of us?"
Remember to approach the conversation with empathy and understanding, and to listen to your mom's perspective as well. It may be helpful to come up with some possible solutions or compromises together, such as setting boundaries around physical intimacy or finding ways to give you more privacy and space in your home.

I think you need to be honest with your mom about how it makes you feel. You'll be going away to college or moving out soon, but she has the right to be with whoever makes her happy but she shouldn't do it in front of you. You need to let her know it makes you feel uncomfortable.
Sounds like your mom and boyfriend don't know about privacy. She should go to his place or spend a night at a hotel or give you space or at least do stuff while you aren't there.
