[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's a bad idea especially before college. If she's introverted etc the last think she needs is starting college and that girl that has some long distance boy friend that's jealous and she will be tied down and not able to explore. I would shut it down. 4 years is a lot of difference at that age.[/quote]
I can't get my kids to eat their damn dinner, I have no idea what "shut it down" would look like with a 17.5 year old, other than she starts sneaking and being resentful. There's nothing wrong with giving advice, of course. Young people need to make their own mistakes. "Shut it down" should only be played for the very big issues, like DUIs [/quote]

Tend to agree with this. And why are so many posters jumping to worst case scenario.  That he's this terrible abusive guy who is going to ruin the daughter's life. Sure it could happen. It could also happen that he's quite lovely towards her and the relationship lats as long as it lasts maybe a few months or years or forever. if she had just turned 17 and had another year of highschool I'd feel differently, but she's nearly 18 and nearly graduated this is an area why you treat her like the young adult she is like people on this forum are always crowing about [/quote]
