My 22 year old son is dating a 17 year old girl who wants me out of the picture. What should I do?

Question:

His girlfriend wants him all to herself. She even told her parents that her goal was to get his family out of the picture. She sends texts to him constantly - even if we are on a family vacation - declaring how "sad" she is that he isn't with her. She's famous for texting him while she knows he's driving - it scares me. When she comes to my home she can be very rude and insulting. She doesn't make eye contact and if she doesn't "feel" like it she won't speak. I have confronted her and told her this is my house and she will be respectful. She doesn't care. Oh, did I mention she has a 9 month old baby from another boy?

Answers:

This sounds bad...um...Have you asked your son how he feels about her? Judging by how she acts, she doesn't seem all that attractive. Remember, you are his father, I'm not saying this means you can tell him who to date and who not to date but, there is a line that she has obviously crossed.

The best thing to do is tell your son how you feel, but also tell him you realize it is his life and that you only want the best for him. If he is Truly happy with her, just try and get along as best as you can.

tell your son how you feel about the situation. warn him that she is still underage .pray about it. the bottomline is its going to be his decision but continue to demand your respect.

Stay out of it!! You have to realize that he is 22 years old, and it's time for him to be a man. Let him make mistakes and learn from them, that is the only way he is going to grow.

Talk to him if he is living under your roof you have every right, if he isn't living with you then you should leave him too it he will learn by his mistakesYou can tell your son how you feel, but if she has him wrapped around her finger it may just cause a fight between you two. If it is happening in your house you can simply tell her not to come around. It is your house, and unwanted visitors are up to you! Tell your son if he wants to see her he can do it somewhere else other than your house. Other than that there really isn't much you can do or say as in the end it's your son's life not yours. And he does have his own mind, he can learn from his own mistakes.And the fact that she has a 9 month old baby from another guy has nothing to do with this siutation. Just something to say to make her look bad.Can i just add the bub to another boy wasnt a huge problem with, you shouldnt hold that one against her we all make mistakes just like my brother did and sounds like your son is.
