For some background I am 26 and live with my mom while going to school. For a little over a year now she has been in a relationship with a younger man, 30. Now she is 43. Honestly, I think it is gross not just because she is with a man more my age but they are very open about it, as in they will kiss and make out even when I am around. It really bothers me and I have told her but she just says "it's my house I can do what I want" "you can't dictate who I am involved with" etc.
Now due to financial difficulty I did move back in after she was in this "relationship" but still, shouldn't she see how I view it as her daughter and tone it way down? The guy she is with is nice and everything but it's not fun seeing this.
Your mom is right. It IS her house and she can do what she wants. And there's nothing "gross" about her dating a younger man.
Is it tacky to make out in front of a family member? Yes. But again, it's her house and you (I asssume) are mooching off her by living there rent -free, so you are in no place to complain. Be grateful for your mom's help and if you don't like what you see, leave the room or move out.
What are you doing being still in school at 26? By now, your mom should have the privacy of being alone in her own home, where she is free to do whatever, without having someone else there.
You moved in due to financial difficulties and school. It is your mother's home. She is actually doing you a favor. It is 2018 and genders are equalizing... a younger man shouldn't be an issue anymore. It is her life.
I say good for her if she found someone to make her happy. You should be happy for her as well.

Time to leave the nest.
This^.
It is on you to just go to another room or leave the house when they start making out and such. YOU are the one who has to adjust, not her.
