[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 17 yo ds has a gf. She’s lovely but honestly, they’re in high school and I’m not getting invested in them being together forever. As long as he is happy and there doesn’t seemed to be any issues, I don’t care who he dates.[/quote]

Thing is that you may seem nonchalant to yourself but you are telling them that they are too young, doomed to break up and you don't care about what they have together. You are practically hoping for them to break up.

Legacy or not, anyone's chances of getting into an ivy are slim, unless her dad gas a building on campus with his name on it.

Its not about you being a realist, its about taking someone and their relationship for granted. With a high divorce rate, a realist shouldn't even take married couples seriously but that's not what people need from you. You need to respect every 18+ adult relationship. Even with a chance of breakup, its not make-believe or pretend, it is real until it ends.

Im a realist. They’re 17. They both are college bound. She’s a legacy at an Ivy that my son has no interest in attending. If they do stay together through college, great. But I think that’s unlikely. [/quote][/quote]
