    I feel for this dad because I am a dad to two teenagers myself. My feeling is that the more I try to tell my daughters what to do, the more it backfires on me and they will do the opposite. Older kids need to feel like they are making the choice, not their parents. I think all I can do as a dad is to give my daughters my opinion with good reasoning and support, and if they fall flat on their face, that's their problem. If they are to be independent adults, they need to make their own choices and live with the consequences of them. Hopefully we as parents raised them right when they show us they can make good choices and succeed off of the leg up we can give them.

    Tough one for sure - I was a little rough around the edges when I started dating my wife and I’m sure her parents were in her ear. They were from money and I was a poor kid from a broken home.
    We were in high school, and I made 6.00 an hour, I had nothing to offer. I went on to get a masters degree in Economics and now make a boat load of money - she stays home with our babies. My wife never doubted me for a second.
    It all comes down to the motivation and work ethic of the boyfriend. I think the dad is on the right track with offering the helping hand - id probably do the same thing.

    I think my wife's parents didn't like me either. At the time I didn't much like myself if it comes to that.
    After 53 years of marriage, I believe I turned out OK. People do grow up.
    Befriend the kid and see what you can do, as you proposed. Of our three children, one went to the GED requirement but after the Army he got his bachelor's degree and is today quite prosperous as his graduate degree recipient siblings are.
    Try the Marines. They were good for me and today I am quite wealthy with the best children and grandchildren you ever saw in you life!.

    My sister married a dead beat. We gave him a lot of time because he didn't have the same up bringing as us, but even after 10 years of help and support he showed no interest in improving himself or taking some self responsibility.
    Unfortunately my sister is extremely stubborn and proud and just couldn't admit she was wrong. She's basically wasted her entire youth on him now. She will never admit it but knows full well she made a terrible decision while all of her friends have progressed in life and enjoy financial freedom while she is mid 30's with nothing to show for it.

    Many years ago, I was just like the daughter in this scenario. I can tell you that the odds of the daughter and boyfriend staying together in the long term are very low. The longer she stays in college, the more opportunity she will have to make friends and build a social life outside the boyfriend. This might be enough to make her rethink the relationship. That's what did it for me. I like the idea of offering to help the bf get his GED. It positions her parents as the good guys, and it gives the daughter an opportunity to see how serious her bf really is about their future.

    Hopefully the boyfriend is really a good, misguided kid and all he needs is a better example of how to live (which what her family seems to be). Drugs and other bad addictions should not be tolerated. If you want to support your daughter's education, go right on ahead so she finishes but just remember that she is an adult now and can make her own choices. Hopefully you can guide her to the right path without alienating her.

I feel like if your family (or maybe friends) who you've known for decades can easily pick a stranger over you then that should tell you who you don't want in your life or is important or not. Especially if they are introducing a bad element into it. Pull all the way back. Stop paying for everything. She's an adult. You did your job. Let the chips fall where they may. Let them live their lives away from you and you live yours without that headache.

    This is very difficult, but actually the best thing you can do is being annoyingly nice to the boy. Be exaggeratedly nice to the point that he finds it becoming annoying himself. Of course the daughter might give a fit, so be it. Parents in law that are overtly nice and interested in the relationship of daughter-boyfriend typically scares away the boy by passage of time. This works much better then trying to create a wedge between them. Learned this from a psychologist.
