My son came to me about seeing someone a few years older than him: Advice?

When both are over 18, age difference doesn’t really matter. But in this situation she is an adult, he still a minor. She is probably gonna wanna do adult things that minors shouldn’t do. Just my opinion.

He told you that’s a plus but legally her age worries… what if someone reports them? She doesn’t need that kind of record :pensive:

I think it’s always appropriate to meet your minor child’s SO.

You say almost 18 I think people are so focused on that. When will she be 18? Next week or in 4 months? Is your son just 15 or will be 16 soon?

I was 15 and my first bf was 20. We matched on maturity though so it worked out… well for awhile anyway

Do you feel there is a difference when a female is a 17 y/o girl and then boom it’s her birthday and she’s an 18 y/o woman?
When my daughter turned 18,
I still saw her as my teenage daughter. She was no different from 17 to 18.
And maybe your 15 y/o is more mature then you think or maybe the girl isn’t a part of today’s trend of teens already looking like they are in their 20s.
I say that because there’s 16 y/o girls who come into our office that look older then me and dress like they are in their 20s.
So give the girl a chance and get to know her, before you assume anything

I would tell him that if they did anything, she could land in jail for statitory rape and possibly a criminal record. And yes you should meet her, and find out how far things have gotten so far.

When will he be 16 teen as long as you approve that your choice but if not it might be one of them going behind your back.

Not ok, switch the kiddos, your 15 year old daughter dating an 18 year old boy.

Concerned for the boy’s well being. The girl is either playing a practical joke or doing an experiment. Talk to him he will get hurt.

Legally that’s statutory rape.
He’s 15
She’s an adult

All the discussion you need

Explain the facts and put a basket of condoms where he can find them. Dont b surprise if you find one unopened in the dryer. Best of luck. Keep communication open always.

Not sure on your laws or where u live. But he’s underage lol and she soon won’t be

No go…15 is young…girls mature faster…do you want to be a grandma?

He shouldn’t be “ DATING “ anyone at 15…whatever !

I was 18 dating a 16 year old when I became pregnant. I don’t think it’s a huge deal. Mentally their going to be close to the same for maturity. I had my first son when I was 19 then and his dad turned 17. I don’t see a problem with it. Now if it was a 15 year old and like 21 year old that’s a bit different. If they’re both mature then I say let them be together.

I think it’s ok. Now keep in mind girls mature faster than boys do though.

17 almost 18, and 15 isnt bad. They’re in school together. Its not like she’s 21 and picked him up somewhere.

No different than 18 yr old guy dating a 15 yr old girl

I feel like that’s a bit too much of a difference in teens

Do you like the girl? Have you met her parents? What do her parents think about their relationship?

If it was a girl seeing an older boy you wouldn’t even question it :woman_shrugging:

Tell him “How About No” he is too young.

Kids will be kids just keep a eye on it so not interfere … coming from a male trust me just support him

I dont really see a huge issue here. They’re both high schoolers. My current fiance was 17 almost 18 when we started dating and I was 15 almost 16.

18 years old typically have experienced sex… So dating one he might get pressured if he hasn’t already had sex yet

As long as the parents agree they wouldn’t be a problem

You and him should research your local statutory rape laws…let him see the evidence.

Switch it. If you would still be okay with it, then its okay.

Not good she is adult he is child legal issues if they mix it up

Meet her if you want. Do they go to school together? If so, I wouldnt have a problem with it. When I was 15 I was in classes with 18-20 year olds. There is a romeo and juliet law to protect people like that. She isnt 18 yet and if they go to school it wouldnt be a big deal. It’d be a different story if they didnt and she was in college now or something. Anyway, make sure you look up your state laws too and inform them of those risks. Even if it’s legal someone can still be an ass and cause problems. My friend ended up becoming a registered sex offender because he was 18 and she was 16 but they had been dating for 2 years and been in art class together for years. Someone reported them and he went to jail for no reason. It was probably because of the shitty justice system but still. That should be brought up to them too.

I guess not all 18yo are mature it is still only teen years

:roll_eyes::roll_eyes:I swear some of yall legal scholars kill me. Meet the girl, judge by that and pat yourself on the back you have raised a son who is open and honest with you.

My 15 yo son can only see 14 - 16 yo young ladies…

Get more info. They could just be casually dating or serious. Use that information to help decide from there.

My daughter is 16 & boyfriend is 19.

If a 32 year was with a 35 year old would anybody think twice about it? No.

That’s a no. She is legal, he isn’t.

Well if you all read her post the girl is SOON to be 18 which means as of right now she is 17… either way the law only cares if they are sexually active with each other…

I know I’m old school, but would not happen on my watch!

It’s only two/three years. No big deal!

As long as she’s nice, respectful and she makes him happy, I don’t see the issue. It’s not like she’s 25. As far as I see…she’s still a kid. A teenager. Just have a talk with him. Make sure he knows NOT to get her pregnant!! At 15, his hormones are probably going wild and he needs to make sure he’s responsible in the relationship. Tell him if she gets knocked up…that’s a lot of years of saying bye bye to a good chunk of his paycheck later! :flushed: Better to learn those adult problems NOW and not later. He’s a child probably still very naive. He needs to be careful.

Ok. As a mom of a 15yr old boy, I would probably be freaked out. BUT…I have a very close family member who dated an older woman…when he was about 17, she was already in her 20’s…mid20’s if I’m not mistaken. They hid it from the extended family but had the support of their immediate family…his mother. They have been together for about 13 yrs. Have a great son. They are happy. Successful. Doing great. You can see the love radiating off of them both. They are great together. Soul mates. A perfect match. So I guess you have to just read each situation as it comes. Could be the best thing that ever happens for the kid

Age doesn’t really matter

U r lucky mom.

I was 17 when I met my now husband. He was 25. Been married for 21 yrs.

Meet her. Trust your instincts. Just keep discussions open.

Everyone talking about statutory laws… but are wrong. It varies state to state on specifics, but generally a child between the ages of 12 and 17 can legally have sexual relations with anyone as long as it’s no more than 3 years older than them (4 years in some states). Therefore, an 18 year old with a 15 year old is not breaking any laws.

I would want to meet her parents more than anything.

All I got to say is she knows more than he does.

Check age of consent in your state !

Meet her and see how she is. Give her a chance

I raised boys wait for him to bring her home

Meet her and get to know her.

Just let it go the distance for now be supportive

Whatever you do…don’t try to discourage it…that’ll only push them closer together…just keep a close watch…and remind her it’s statatory rape if she has sex with him…

I dont think its a problem unless she is a lot older

Meet her and see how you feel then

Meet her and see how you feel.

Meet her before y judge her

The problem would only be on your end… If he got her pregnant or whatever you could charge her with statutory rape.

2 yrs difference isnt a big deal

When i met my man he was 14 and i was 17 i m not telling that we didn t have our ups and downs since we were young and like other couples after all we. He was a bit jealous cause i was older than him but we cope together we have a girl together age 12 good luck to your son

Its illegal…dont do it

3 years age isn’t bad

I’m just going to throw my opinion out there in my for my guess I’m going to say. My son is 18 years old and if he were dating a 15 year old girl. People would be calling him pervert and a child molester. Because if it’s 18 year old dates a 15 year old like I said people see it’s disgusting. Yet some people see it okay if a 18 year old girl dates a 15 year old boy. To me I don’t think that’s good age to be dating at. But I would definitely say meet the girl and see how she is and go from there I guess. But also if my son was 15 and an 18 year olds trying to date my son I will put my foot up her ass she would not be dating my son.

Just keep in mind, if he gets her pregnant, YOU will be paying child support until he turns 18.

Her being 18 makes her an adult. When she turns 18. He is still a minor. That can lead to serious charges. Even consensual sex can be considered statutory rape.

Let’s make sure sex Ed is up to date !!!

If he’s 15 it’s probably a fling and he’s infatuated :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:… meet her if you get good vibes let it play out because he will probably move along but if you forbid it then he will just do it behind your back.

However if they have sex or she touches him sexually it’s classified as statutory rape

A few years isn’t a problem when he’s older, but when she’s 18, she could be accused of rape, especially if the relationship falls apart. (which it likely will) If she’s still interested when he turns 18, and he hasn’t found the next love of his life, they can resume their relationship. Of course getting a 15 year old to listen and take advice is the biggest challenge of all!

Time for a very serious talk about being a daddy and responsibilities. No matter the age
If he were a girl and the guy was 18
If they have sexual relations it could be legally looked at as sex with a minor…

Depending on his maturity he may be “too mature” for other girls his age. I was always interested in older people because guys my age were what i considered immature idiots 🤷😂 i would meet her and see if their maturity levels matched. Have the sex talk with BOTH of them so all of you are on the same page. See why theyre interested in each other

It’s only 3 years, I would definitely want to meet her and get to know her before deciding on how to feel. I would definitely be happy that he told her. As long as she makes him happy and genuinely cares about him, I’d be okay with it, but if she does anything wrong, step in asap. Im pretty sure in most states, as long as the parent of the minor is okay with it, it’s fine. As long as it’s only 3 years difference.

Are you kidding me? Your son is only 15 and in my book he is still a boy, I know that Parents are way more liberal now but 15 is to young for any kid, boy or girl to be having sex, she is of age of consent of 18 and even then some females based on their quick decisions don’t always think before they do, your son is not old enough to understand what he is getting into, all he knows is that his hormones are out of control and this girl will see to his needs not about what consequences that will come from sexual activity done so young, I don’t care what generation it is, kids needs information about the consequences of their actions, its too easy to give in without thinking and at that age they are not mature enough to think that pregnancy or disease can happen to them and you as his parents will be left holding the bag, I had a strict Mom and as soon as she found out my immature 16 year old ass had a crush on a 21 year old Vietnam Vet who had just gotten out who I met through an aquatance she stalked my butt good and forbidden me to see him, I listened to her and I’m glad I did because I didn’t realize he had PTSD and he could have hurt me so I realized that I was immature at 16, waiting till you are grown up is better and I ended up with 3 daughters so you can imagine how their father and I tag teamed to watch them!!!

Ok.you really really need to look at this at how would you feel if it was an 18 yr old young man dating your 15 yr old daughter. Come one most would swing that bastard from his balls and then some, this is grooming at its best. Its wrong when 18 yr old guy does it ,just as wrong when 18 yr old young woman goes after 15 yr old guy,

She’ll be an adult soon. Statutory rape if they have sex as he’s only 15.

Meet her and then decide how you feel

Gosh some of this advice. Lol. I guess when you we’re 15 in high school you never liked a senior. Come on! Depends on each individual and how mature they are. I’ve seen some really dumb 30 year olds. Rape?! Bit of a stretch. Gosh ripping this poor girl apart and we don’t know her.

Life has been so miserable after my boyfriend broke up with me 6 months ago. I never thought he could hurt me just like that then i realized how much i loved my boyfriend when he ended our relationship and i had to look for options to make sure i get her back to myself for i wasn’t living fine anymore. I was directed to a Spell Doctor known as Dr Mamudu by my cousin who he claimed he helped him in winning a lottery. I made contact with the Doctor and i was surprised and amazed when my boyfriend came back to me with he knees on the floor pleading to me for forgiveness to take he back as my lover. I thought i was dreaming because all this happened just within 24 hours and it happened as the spell Doctor as said. For that wonderful encounter with this man, i took a decision on my path that i will let the world know about Dr Mamudu for he’s able and capable to solve any problems.
