Got home this morning and found my 17 year old daughter asleep in bed with her 24 yo bf.
They've been "seeing" each other for a while and the ex has no problems with him spending the night at her place. I do not condone him spending the night at my house.
Before he left, I pulled him aside and talked to him about what I thought about his relationship with my daughter. When he denied he was having sex with her I about threw a gasket, but I held my composure.
I "suggested" that he needs to be dating girls his own age, not teenage girls. I also told him I wasn't a fool and that I know what it's like to be his age.
My daughter is attractive and has a good head on her shoulders, has graduated HS early and has a job while my ex and I continue to have shared parenting with her. This was the weekend she was to be at her mom's and she knew she was not to be at my house this morning/last night (while she knew I was away).
I understand his attraction to her, but just think given the age differentiation, it's not a good relationship. I told him that there is a time and place for everything, it's just that now is not the time and my house is definitely NOT the place.
My daughter and I have a good relationship given our living circumstances and she is growing more mature. My fear is this incident will put a strain on our relationship. Eventually, she will hopefully understand the way I feel.
I want to trust her and I have confidence she knows the right thing to do. My concern is that this 24 yo man-boy is influencing her the wrong way.
