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.

I don't know who small ships is.

I'm feeling more than a little sad that no-one on here can appreciate my concerns for my DS.

I don't know what more to tell you.

TBH i think you are worrying about nothing. Surely your son's cotton wool protective suit would prevent any form of sexual contact with this brazen hussy.

If you're really concerned just meet her at the door with a bucket of disinfectant and a change of clothes, then make sure you change ds's boden baggies for an all in one bio suit. With ear defenders obviously to prevent him from copying her accent.

Or alternatively you could try introducing her ot people as The Help and pass her off as a member of your staff.

HTH.

Is your son's name Ian Derrick by any chance?

KatieScarlett2833 · 17/11/2008 16:18

Well, according to my DS, Merlot and the twins Cabernet and Sauvignon, your DS should dump her immediately as, let's face it, Chardonnay has never been the same since Bridget Jones.

It's possible he might do well at school regardless of the social class of his girlfriend's family. I've seen claims ? not verified, mind you ? that people with working class girlfriends don't always end up as crack-smoking academic failures. Though, of course, that risk is there.

Ivvvvyygootscaaared444 · 17/11/2008 16:22

That post is shite.

i love to read a good troll post.

But that's crap.

KatieScarlett2833 · 17/11/2008 16:29

No dear, Chardonnay is tres passe. For true class, it has to be red. And sweetie, don't threaten, you know I'm right.

Ivvvvyygootscaaared444 · 17/11/2008 16:29

NotGoodEnoughForMySon · 17/11/2008 16:41

hmm the problem is though, my DS is still very mummified, encouraging the relationship will make him all the more enthusiastic about it.

KatieScarlett2833 · 17/11/2008 16:48

As it has to be red, why not go for "Rouge"?

TotalChaos · 17/11/2008 16:48

mummified? you telling me your DS name is Tutenkhamun?

KatieScarlett2833 · 17/11/2008 16:50

Sometimes you just have to unwrap the bandages.

Ivvvvyygootscaaared444 · 17/11/2008 16:50

Hay yes leeanna says she will do red for a boy and rouge for a girl - wicked

NotGoodEnoughForMySon · 17/11/2008 16:53

No, don't be so silly! I thought everyone knew he died in the 20's or so didn't he?!! Bless you. No, he is a good boy and would do as I ask, however I don't want his feelings to be hurt. At this age when they are just realising girls are different it is important to be careful with their feelings - my psychologist says so.

Glad to be of assistance. It's so easy to get it wrong these days. Congratulations on becoming a Grandparent, it's so rewarding when one's offspring find a new way to increase their disposable income, non?

Ivvvvyygootscaaared444 · 17/11/2008 17:02
