How invested do you get in your kids' boyfriend/girlfriend...?

It's my DSS but his dad is thinking the same. Nice lad, lives with his mum - 26 - but young for his age - good job.

We've cooked for/ taken out for dinner/hung out with/been on holiday with the previous 3 serious girlfriends - all of who were lovely. There's been a fair few ones we haven't really met too. He's been really sweet with all of them, he's a nice lad.

But for one reason and another, really because he's a bit immature, they haven't worked out.

Latest one, again is lovely, but has 2 kids under 3. My heart is sinking a bit as he's asking her out for dinner with us, can she come round for tea etc etc.

It's not going to last...and I think I've run out of investment oomph. Anyone know what I mean?

Different for us as our 2 dd live at home but they are both in their first serious relationship, we have met the parents, they come on holidays, Christmas, special occasions. I really like them I'd be gutted if they split.

Zero. Am friendly if they are here, given them lifts, might have a chat but zero emotional investment at all.
