A friend of mine has a daught er who is 14. He is letting a guy come by his house, frequently let me add, to see her that is 24. Me personally, I would call the cops and call it a day, but he is on some "I trust my daughter" trip. Am I crazy os is he crazy? Any any event, would you allow this to go on?

Nope, I do not think I would, and I know for a fact that my hubby would definately not stand for it. What does a 24 year old want with a fourteen year old anyway, that is what I would be thinking. If it was my daughter then I would tell her that once she turned sixteen which is the age when I cannot really do much about it then if she still has feelings then fair enough but until then no chance.

EVEN 16 IS A TOUGH ONE TO SWALLOW. (SATC) I started courting my wife when she was 16, but I really didn't know she was 16. So she graduated HS @ 17 and we were married when she turned 18 and I was 21. I can somewhat understand this kids position. If the father is allowing them to see one another then he is pretty much ok. ( Ido feel that therere are a lot of attractive older girls his own age that he could be seeing and that makes him somewhat of a loser, but, older doesn't always mean respectable these days, LOL.) My thing is I don't understand what her dad's logic is. He is offering complete and total trust to a 14 year old and some loser 24 year old. No he has not been to college, and yes he does appear to be a stoner. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

The Dad is either clueless or in denial. You don't have to deal with problems that just don't "exist".

That's true. I definitely think he is in denial. But then again, I say he might just be stupid.

Hi carter, i will not allow.. because 14 is not mature age, they need guidence to behave and understand the other person. I think te man should be stoped and the daughter need to guide properlly. hope you agree with me.. thanks and enjoy

Personally, I don't think I would want my daughter hanging around a guy that old. But I should probably also add that when I was 16 I dated at 27 year old preacher. I was raised in a christian home and I remember my parents sitting down with him before we started dating and telling him their views on pre-marital relations, etc. He never laid a finger on me, not even one good night kiss. We dated for a few months and nothing ever happened. I eventually broke it off, but I guess my parents put enough of a scare in him that he wouldn't lay a finger on me. But I think those were very rare circumstances and that a 24 year old man hanging around a 14 year old girl should not be taken lightly. I think this father really needs to do some soul searching about this.

no way would i allow that. sorry but i don't see any reason why a 24 year old would be going to see a 14 year old. i'd definately give him a "special talk" and if he ever came back again i would call the cops. I would trust my daughter, yes, but i would not trust the 24 year old. that's just rediculous
