 your mom is upset over a two month age difference.....REALLY???
There has to be more to it then that, there is something else going on here. I am finding it very difficult to believe that an adult would be THAT ridiculous.

 My analytical side wants to ask, how could 2 months be a big deal?
Last year my Jr high son met a girl who was one class ahead of him. I was pretty sure it would fizzle because she would be in high school while he was still in Jr high. It did.
Next scenario. You are 18, he is 17. There is a possible legal problem. That will evaporate in two months.
Next idea. Some women have the idea that a girl should date an older man to match her maturity. Perhaps he is too close to your age. Expecting someone to be within a month of your age doesn't seem very realistic.
Last one I promise. There is something else about him that they don't like. They are using the age as an excuse to break you up.
Handling this depends on mom's motivation.

 two months is NOTHING..
and your mother and your sister are not dating him so their feelings are not much to worry about...
why would you leave him to please your mom and sister.
my son ended a relationship with a girl since his father and stepmom did not approve of her religion. that was 18 months ago and he's still not speaking to his dad about it...
DO NOT live your life to please your family.
live your life to please yourself.
BTW my fiance is 39. I'm 52.
so when I was 16 he was 3!

 Your mother is a whole lot wiser than you are(OK so that's not what you want to hear,get over it) No mother wants her child to get hurt, she's being protective not controlling. go scream into your pillow all you want, then take a look at life from her view. Would you want your daughter to get in trouble or be hurt by someone?
