Met the culprit , he's 22 years old , a uni drop out and a spoilt rich kid . He showed up this morning and wanted to see her.

I have told him (and my daughter) he and my daughter can be friends until she turns 18 , and she is not allowed to date him until then or go anywhere alone with him , especially in his fast expensive car (I've seen how he drives and hoons about (though at the time I did not know he had been eyeing my daughter) and I am very unimpressed with his lack of maturity. He didn't recognise me, but did recognise my beast (it's very distinctive) which was parked in the driveway next to the house when he called.

I have also contacted his parents and appraised them of the situation and they are in agreement with my actions. Told his dad about his hooning as well while I had his ear on the phone , he was (well , very pissed !!) , a subsequent phone call from his dad informed me that he had confiscated his son's car keys and taken away his driving privileges . :clap: :clap: I guess it will be a while before visits again (since he lives at Nelson's Bay (about 100 km north of here) and he no longer has wheels). That'll cramp his style. :loling: :rotfl: :evil1:

My daughter is still on restriction. She can still see him , but must be chaperoned by one her brothers or parents or cousins , and never in the house by herself , or any room with the door closed (it's not that I don't trust her , it's him I don't trust.)

Good lord, thats the guy that sent her the flowers?? I think you really did a good thing here by restricting them to friendship till she turns 18, cuz that guy doesnt sound like someone that can be trusted. He probably goes out and parties alot as well.
Personally I don't like those kind of guys,they cant seem to be trusted nor are they very mature either, I know im only 2 yrs older but still I think you handled this in a very good way if I may say so.

Yes - I think your assessment is spot on about him - times I saw him and his mates (late at night at Newcastle foreshore and also on Kormerant Drive on Kooragang Island where they were hanging out and hooning , places where I can be found regularly at those hours while fishing for the BIG ONES) , there were girls with them and lots of amber fluid and strong liquer being being consumed.

I've seen him and his mates when they are off their faces , I don't want my daughter mixed up with that.

Just shows that you need to be careful if acting stupid or antisocially , it might come back on you when you least expect it (someone you want to make a good impression on might already have seen what you get up to.)

While I think its good the way you 2 look after your kids, I suppose im a bit jealous. My dad would NEVER look after me when it comes to guys like you 2 would.
Just yesterday he and my mom got in a fight, then my dad came upstairs to take it out on me, he started cursing on my mom and then he said to me; dont u ever ever get married cuz it will only bring u trouble.

Im not learning anything from my parents and I really wish they could be more like you 2 are.

Blimey Somerled! A 22 year old interested in a 16 year old? That's a bit odd.

Good call.

It's pretty common .

The girls are attracted to older boys because boys the same age as them are idiots (and have no money / experience).
Older boys don't mind that.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I have no doubt that you will one day have a very successful marriage, if only because you've learnt what a marriage should not be like.

Probably a good thing that you are now 18 , and have a choice , but I wouldn't break off completely with your parents , they might be awful to each other , and awful parents , but they might be great (even doating) grand-parents and your relationship with them might change for the better now you are an adult and once you fly the coup.
