[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 424210"] I hear a lot of advice here about not forbidding the relationship as it will drive your child into rebelliously committing to it even more deeply, and I "get" that. Still, if I find a boyfriend of one of my daughters (both PCs and doing very well in college, so no risk of that) to be a rotten jerk (or worse, as is evidently the case here), I would surely bar him from entering my home, just as I would bar anyone whom I didn't like and didn't want to have around. You don't have to tolerate the presence of a druggy, repellent loser in your home simply because he's dating your daughter--quite the contrary, as a matter of fact: it's *your* home, after all. You can tell your child that you will make no comment on the relationship or the boyfriend--it's your prerogative simply to remain mum about him--but that you don't want him on the property at all, period. If she pitches a fit, she's 18, right? There's the door, kiddo. Nobody's forcing you to live here. [/QUOTE]
