Mandy,

Diana has hit it on the nail the girl has had bad examples growing up and doesn't know any better. How could she when her mother sets no examples by dating a 24 yr. old. She is also at the age where girls hate their moms not really but they start rebelling in her case she has no real relationship with her.The poor child is hurting terribly. Does she go to therapy or have someone who talks to her ? She probably is shy too. You are threading water here, the wonderful ladies all have given you great input. I can only reiterate what most have said.


When she comes over say hello to her first , show her examples of proper etiquette along with reinforcement from your son for he knows how you and his dad feel about this. By staying over your home she will learn by example how a family life is suppose to be. The more you tell him you don't like her , he will rebel and continue to date her.. Set rules in your home , he is young . My son is 24 yrs old. I like his girlfriend a lot but I don't really approve of them staying in his room watching tv with the door closed. I expressed my feelings but it is a losing battle. Some may say it is your home, yes but I have no say in it. trust me I have tried .I do forbid her to sleep over no sleep overs.

Your son is young and should not have a steady in my opinion . He should be going out with lots of friends. It is hard for them to understand at this age. I have issues with my daughter and am stressing over her, that's another story lol one day when I am not busy I will post.

As they say this too shall pass, unfortunately like ourselves you learn as you mature. Speaking until you are blue in the face will not matter.. He has to find out for himself. I do believe when raising children get to know their friends. Mandy dear guide him , talk to him and pray for the best. I am sure your values are instilled in him by this age. So don't stress out to much.. Just be there and talk , talk , talk... lol... Hugs oxoxo
