[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please do not let her give him any rings. [/quote]

OP here. Ugh. I agree, but also I hate this. DD selected and purchased these on her own. Spent $60 of her own money. Now I tell her she shouldn’t give it. There’s a strong possibility that I’m going to be blamed for the outcome of things if I start telling her what to do. [/quote]

OP, I agree with some of the other posters that you can try to have a conversation with her about it. However, I don’t know that can do much to stop it if she is determined to give the ring to him. I know if I pushed my DD she would still do it. Unfortunately, this is your DD’s life experience to have and you can try to make it easier/gentler but I’m not sure you can stop it entirely.

It’s so hard to watch them go through stuff like this. I’m sorry. [/quote]

+1  Same for my DD, they don’t trust mom’s advice [/quote]

Some moms give terrible advice. Like mine. [/quote]

I wish my mom had given me advice! She was a great listener, but what I really needed as guidance. I made really bad decisions as a teen.[/quote]

Is no advice better than bad advice? My mother's "guidance" was either useless, incorrect or awful. "Conditioner is terrible for your hair and will make you go bald." "Say hello to everyone you know, every time you see them, to make them feel good."  That's what you were missing out on over at my house. It took until I was 11 and a friend yelled at me for constantly interrupting our conversation as we walked down the school hallway to say hi to EVERY SINGLE person I saw that I knew for me to learn NOT to do what my mother had taught me. I was in HS before I was finally allowed to use conditioner. No other hair products aside from shampoo and conditioner, and I have curly frizzy hair that my mother INSISTED I had to brush thoroughly every single day with a brush. I could go on and on.[/quote]
