Is there ever a time that parents should get involved in their teenager’s relationships? According to this dad, we should stay right out of their dating drama.
The dad explained that his son Dylan had been dating his girlfriend Melanie since year 10, and they are both now in year 11. Last week Dylan broke up with Melanie, and she didn’t take it well.
“I got a text yesterday from Melanie’s mum to call her,” the dad said. “She wanted me to bring back Melanie’s sweater that she left at our house a couple of weeks ago. I said sure.
“I told her she could pick it up. The mum came and said that I should talk to Dylan about how much he hurt Melanie. Melanie was very attached to my son and my son broke up with her in the ‘wrong way’.”
The dad said he wouldn’t be having a discussion with Dylan about the break-up and that Melanie ‘wasn’t special’.
“I told her I wasn’t talking to my son about anything. They’re high schoolers and stuff like this happens all the time and Melanie isn’t special. My son doesn’t owe you or Melanie an apology for not wanting to date her anymore.”
The dad further explained that his son wasn’t mean about ending the relationship, but he just wanted ot spend more time with his friends.
“The mum said that was bs. I said I don’t care. He doesn’t need a reason. It’s none of your business.
“She asked me if I cared about how my son treated his girlfriends. I said do you care how your daughter treat treats her boyfriends? She said it was different. I told her I had nothing left to say except I don’t care about her or her daughter.”
The dad has now taken to an online forum, asking if he was in the wrong for telling the mum he doesn’t care that his son dumped her daughter.
