Thread: daughter dates guy you don't like

You all know the drill, whether daughter is
fourteen, twenty four, or fourty four.

Anything you say can and will be used against you.

If she asks you, point blank...what should I do..
go ahead..
she's not going to like it anyway, she's asking you
because she doesn't want to, and what you have
to do is not make it too harsh.

For example...

Instead of saying; "Don't!"

Pause and think and say..."Rather hasty?" as if you
can go either way.

Instead of giving reasons why...

look at her, quietly ask; "Is that what you want?"

I have an 18 yoa daughter who is now liking a 22 yoa man who is recently divorced. She hasn't even graduated high school and has her whole life ahead of her. She want's to start college in the fall. I am worried for her. He also is very smothering. Now his ex is trying to start something. I dont want my daughter drawn into it. It scares me. I like him but this is going too fast.
