Teenage step son seeing an older woman

[Rocco14]

My 17year old stepson is seeing a 29 year old single mum, he is immature, looks about 15 and has no job, nothing to offer her, what do you think she is doing with him?

Sorry I think that's icky and weird.

Have you met her?

How did they meet?

Building her prospects for getting on The Jeremy Kyle Show?

That is icky, what's his dad said about it?

They met on Instagram ??at first his dad couldn't see why I was appalled till I mentioned what would happen if he got her pregnant. We have met her she is not shy, she picks him up and takes him out to eat or the pictures as he has no money, her daughter is 9 the same age as my daughter, his step sister. As I said, he is really immature, we are kind if hoping she loses interest soon, if it was the other way round,our daughter older man my DH would hit the roof and not allow it. Because I am not his mum I feel like I can't do much.

I was 17 when I was first with my now husband who was 29. I would tread carefully as you'll be rightfully told where to get off. I would have done had my mother said something.

It fizzled out when I was that age so I would probably bite my tongue and wait it out in your shoes.

What ever you think, you've got no choice but to let him get on with it. You'll only make them star-crossed lovers and make tensions if you do.

Agree, say nothing and hope it doesn't last. Has he had many relationships to compare it to?

He hasn't had any long term relationships, but goes through phases of meeting random girls through twitter or Instagram, it is always older girls but never this old!! His mum left after she got caught having an affair and never fought to take him when he was only 13 so I think there are mother figure issues there, he was 14 when I met his dad so we don't have a cuddling type of relationship although he does confide a lot to me that he doesn't to his dad. I am just going to take your advice to wait for it to fizzle out....

Thats the best thing for it Rocco. If you can't make mistakes as a teenager, when can you. He needs to learn for himself.

There is nothing you or his dad can do.
Just hope it fizzles out and maybe give him a good talking to about the importance of using contraception!!!
