“I keep thinking that people would take a very dim view of what I have done if I was a man sleeping with a 19-year-old woman.
“Am I overthinking this?”
Mumsnet users react
Mumsnet users were left stunned by the woman’s confession and many flocked to the comments to share their thoughts.
But people were totally divided by the mother’s actions - whilst some didn’t think she did anything wrong, others described her one night stand as 'sleazy'.
Don't let it occupy your mind any further. You've done nothing wrong

One person said: “He's over the age of consent. As long as neither of you were so drunk you couldn't give consent, then I don't see an issue. In fact I think good on you!”
Another added: “He is over the age of consent and now has a story to tell. You didn't go out intending to sleep with him and didn't 'target' or groom him, it's fine.”
Whilst someone else penned: “He's over the legal age, he's an adult. I know what you mean about it being weird because I'd feel a bit blergh too, but what can you do now?
“Don't let it occupy your mind any further. You've done nothing wrong.”
It's not illegal but it is sleazy
Mumsnet user
Despite this, at the same time, not everyone was as kind.
One user snapped: “If you were a 40 odd year old man sleeping with a 19 year old you would be called a sleaze and rightly so.
“It's not illegal but it is sleazy and people saying don't beat yourself up are typical Mumsnet hypocrites.”

A second chimed in: “I don't agree with all of the people saying that it's OK because he is over the age of consent. I have a 19yo girl and would be horrified at the thought of her being with a 43yo man.”
Meanwhile, another agreed: “Bit weird. If it was a man I would say a typical dirty old man.”
