[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both are 16, both go to the same school.  They've been going out for the past 3 months.  We've met the parents too.  We really don't like the girl.  Dresses like she has just rolled out of bad, poor grades, hasn't picked up a book probably since kindergarten.  Compared to DS' previous GF, she's a total loser.   Absolutely uninhibited, inserts herself in all conversations.  Parents are clueless or don't care.   Yet he sees her as funny and utterly helpless, [b]wants to bring her to family functions[/b].  [b]How can we put a stop to this?[/b][/quote]

Well, since he's a minor subject to your rules and it's your family function, you [i]could[/i] simply say she's not welcome and forbid him to bring or invite her. However, just because you [i]can[/i] do something does not mean you should or that the heavy-handed approach is a good idea.

It might be a better idea to welcome her or at least be neutrally polite to and about her for the short duration teen relationships are likely to last. Doing otherwise would likely just make her more attractive to your son and put strain on the parent-child relationship.[/quote]
