How do I put an end to this?

DS has just met a girl who he has been referring to as his girlfriend. His teachers have confirmed that they are hand holding and doing lots of kissing and cuddling. He is very enamoured with her and talks about her often.

What is the problem then? Well this little girl has very odd parents, they are always late to collect her, dressed scruffily (think tatty coats and sports wear ) and seem very disinterested in their DD. TBH I just don't think they are 'our sort of people' and I'd like DS to distance himself as it is an unsuitable match. I mean, when i was helping out at lunch a few weeks ago they sent her with no lunch and dashed in 10 minutes into the lunch hour with a bakery sausage roll. Luckily I always pack plenty of food for my DS and we were able to share some with her, but really. What lack of thought and supplying such a poor diet to this girl?

I'm concerned also that DS is going to loose interest in his studies as he seems so infactuated with this girl, (BTW her name is Chardonnay ) I want him to do well with his education and be a success in life. This girl with her lowly prospects could jeopardise this.

Does anyone have any tips to try and help me bring this relationship to a pain free and DS instigated close? In other words what can I say to put him off?

TIA.

BTW name change in case I'm recognised. I'm a very influential figure in my community.

ROFL !!!

Why didn't you send him to private school if you wanted him to avoid socialising with this sort of riff-raff?

Carmenere · 17/11/2008 15:52

I don't mind a good honest snob but I HATE aspirational ones

ledodgy · 17/11/2008 15:54

He's 5 isn't he?

NotGoodEnoughForMySon · 17/11/2008 15:55

Oh I'm not a snob and I'm not aspirational. Only for my DS. He was a very much wanted child.

As for private, well it was a decision to school him based on our religion.

Does no one share my concerns about DS's relationship negatively affecting his schooling?

I think you should take him out of that school immediately and send him to private school.

Fimbo · 17/11/2008 16:00

Did you offer her your spare Fruitshoot?

stillstanding · 17/11/2008 16:00

LOL. Have you been around her much? I imagine just a few short conversations with you and she will run for the hills

imnotmamagbutshelovesme · 17/11/2008 16:01

You can do better than that.

The post I mean, not the girlfriend.

NotGoodEnoughForMySon · 17/11/2008 16:01

All I can hope I suppose is that they won't go on to the same schools next year. I was rather hoping to put an end to it before than though.

TheNewsMonger · 17/11/2008 16:03

if i were you, i'd invite her 'round for lunch, drug her, and then insert a mirena coil to make sure she doesn't get impregnated. you wouldn't want to merge genes with such a creature.

NotGoodEnoughForMySon · 17/11/2008 16:07

if it is your DD ivvvvy (which I very much doubt as I'm quite confident you are not computer literate) then how old is your dd?

TNM, our family does not believe in sex before marriage.

If only Shakespeare could've written something more like this.
