Asking For A Friend: My mother is 46 and brought home a 23-year-old

An anonymous listener recently sent ‘Breakfast with Martin Bester’ an email asking about his mom’s extreme age gap with a guy she "brought home".

According to the anonymous sender, his mom is 46 and she brought home a 23-year-old.

He added that he finds it “disgusting” and needs the help of Breakfast with Martin Bester and our listeners.

We asked you for your feedback and, let’s just say, it was a polarising topic.

The responses were split, with many saying it is none of his business and others agreeing the age gap is too extreme.
