My DD is 24 and she has recently ended up in a ‘relationship’ with a 36 year old.
He has two children to a previous woman. He only sees the kids every other weekend and lives alone where dd plans to move in with him.
AIBU to think they are at complete different stages of life and it won’t work and that it is a red flag he only sees his children two days out of fourteen? Do I have a leg to stand on by bringing this up to DD if she says she’s happy?

Feel like I need to clear a few things up.
I talk to DD and haven’t made her aware of my doubts. I am supportive and have made it very clear it is completely up to her what she chooses to do with her life and I’ll always be there.
However I have tried to mention subtly that there is a lot to consider for example is she ready to potentially soon become a step mother figure to two young children. She also wants her own children in the future and will he want to do it all again in a few years time.
Also she doesn’t know why the previous relationship failed as he does not talk about it other than ‘it didn’t work’.

Oh! Well she needs to find out why it didn’t work. This could change her decision to be with him.
