Child lending adult money

[Funnythem]

I just wanted to know people a thoughts on this. Ds is 17 and he gets PIP. He has a friend the same age as him . Ds has been lending money to the friends dad. He gets UC and PIP so more money than ds.

It might just be me being a bitch . I don't think a bloke in his 40s should be borrowing money of a 17 year old .

Is he doing any "helping out " out your house ?

As your son "knows it all " I'd let him get on with it.... its the only way he'll learn.

You can practise your "well I did tell you " answer when it all goes wrong.

There alot of stuff going on with Ds so it's not that simple .

And it's me that gets all the shit .

I will try my best to get through to him though

Is DS seeking approval from a father figure?

Could DS's Dad / other male relative try to step in a bit for a more positive way to get that bond? (i.e. ask for DS's help to do a bit of DIY etc).

I don't think adult male role model would be taking money of a 17 year old . I do get what your saying though. He really could do with positive/suitable male role model. But I don't know anyone at all.

No this is not on at all.

Its starts with £20 here and there and then it could increase.

Are you sure DS is lending it to him and he’s not buying stuff off him like weed? (This is what I did when I was younger as my friends mum used to sell it).

I would wait until the 24th and see if he gets paid back.

Tell DS that he’s being kind to lend it to him but starting things like this can lead to falling out, which he doesn’t want.
Tell him to blame you and say that you won’t let him have the money or something.

Unfortunately, if DS is adamant that he knows best then I would let him keep lending this man money and learn the hard way.

I don't think its anything to do with weed . I would smell it right away in his clothes etc.

That's a good idea. To blame me etc I will tell him that.
