My Daughter's Boyfriend Isn't Right for Her: What Should I Do?
If you feel your daughter's boyfriend might not be the best influence, you're not alone. Many parents share this concern. I'm fortunate that my daughter didn’t date many boys, and those she did were wonderful young men. Now, she’s happily married to an amazing ex-military man.
It's well-known that forbidding your daughter from seeing someone often backfires, turning into a challenge to her independence. You need to approach this delicately.
If you're worried, here are a few strategies to consider:
1. Communicate Dating Rules Clearly: Instead of forbidding her relationship, make sure your daughter understands dating rules. Ideally, these should have been established from the start, so she doesn't feel targeted. Clarify when and where she can see her boyfriend, set her curfew, and establish limits for staying on the phone or computer. While rules are essential, avoid being overly strict to prevent rebellion.
2. Get to Know Her Boyfriend: Spend time with him and be genuinely polite. If he’s the type to wedge himself between you and your daughter, your friendliness will make it harder for him to succeed. A warm approach can make it difficult for him to paint you as unreasonable or mean.
3. Discuss Household Rules Together: Include both your daughter and her boyfriend in conversations about the rules. By doing so, he can't claim ignorance later. Keep the discussion casual and friendly, even if your daughter seems embarrassed.
Hopefully, your concerns are unfounded. Many teenagers act tougher than they are and enjoy challenging authority. By making it clear you're attentive and not easily manipulated, the boyfriend may either change his behavior or lose interest due to your active involvement.
Parents often worry about their children's social circles, especially if a boyfriend seems like trouble. How you handle the situation can make all the difference between guiding your daughter effectively or facing defiance. Stand firm, but be mindful of your approach.
