[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 187958, member: 3626"] Another one that says stay out of it. My daughter has had two major boy friends. I truly did not like the first one. I did, however, listen when she vented. If she asked my opinion, I would couch things with the fact that this was me, not her but if guy says he's going to call, he better call. If he says he's going to do something, then it better get done. If a man put me down in front of his friends to look good, I'd be out the door. That is what I expect in the men whom I date. I'm worth it and so is she. She stayed with the dork until he made the mistake of yelling at me. She told him that she can talk to her mother that way but no one else can. rofl That was the end of that slacker. Her next boy friend was and is a sweetie. However, he's trying to work a full-time job, be a manager for a Christian band and be a record producer. That didn't leave a lot of time for her. She broke up with him when it became the norm that he would say he was coming over or would call her and never did. They still care for each other but she realized that she wanted more out of a relationship than he was capable of giving at this time. Your daughter has to learn to make her own decisions. It's hard to not step in and tell her what she should be doing. You can see it. She has to decide on her own. If you tell her and she follows your advice, you're going to lose -- she'll always wonder if that was the right choice, if she shouldn't have followed her heart. Just be there for her. Don't tell her what to do. Don't even suggest it. Just let her come to you to vent and hold her when she cries. That's the best thing you can do. [/QUOTE]
