This should really be in all the parenting books...

Well before they reach puberty, you should start forming relationships with "connected" characters, who, without much encouragement at all, will scare the tar out of anyone who messes with your family.

Plan B: Love him to pieces. Invite him over for dinner, visit him at school, introduce yourself to his parents, etc. He'll be gone in no time.

My problem is the same, however my son is with a loser girl. Don't push to hard...that'll push her away...talk with her and hopefully she'll see the ways.

Let "Us" at him.

The venom here could reduce a Harvard Prof. to an ugly kid's first day of HS.

If that doesn't work...take him out for a walk.

It;s probably her first boyfriend so give it a little time. She will soon realize what she has and move on to the next one. If not come over and I will let you borrow a shovel:wink:

well i am a ex stepmom to a 15 yr old son that has a girlfriend that me and his dad cant stand, she is a bad influence on him and since he has been seeing her he has got into trouble more than he ever has, he is normaly such a good kid. we havent told him how we feel about her because we are afraid he will want her all the more. I did tell him that he was a good kid and could do a lot better.

The only thing you can do is let her figure the bad side of him for herself...grit your teeth and be there for hergrumble

Yep, that's the way to do it.
