My 17yo daughter started to date a kid that is 18. He has a job, and plans to go to college this fall.<br /><br />So the inevitable question gets asked... Do I approve of this guy?<br /><br />I have to say NO. My daughter is still in high school, and has plans to go to college herself.<br />The boy is 18, an adult, and he's going to college filled with young women his age and older. I admire the fact he has a job and he has plans for his future, but he's now an adult. My daughter isn't.<br /><br />Do you really think he's going to mess around and wait for my daughter to get out of high school? I don't think so!<br /><br />I realize my daughter has to learn the hard way about things like this. I think she needs to get her head on straight, and stop being in such a hurry for romance. She needs to focus on finishing high school and get into college.<br /><br />Am I just being narrow-minded and set in my old-ways or?<br /><br />The Wife and I do not agree on this issue. She doesn't see anything wrong with the fact the boy is an adult, and my daughter is a minor. <br /><br /><br />H.
