She's 18 and still living at home. She's been dating a 22-year-old guy for months. He doesn't have driver's license and works at McDonald's. Her defense is that they've been friends for 5 years and he's a supposed to be a sweet guy. My daughter weighs 250 lbs. and I feel like she'll just date anybody who shows interest.

Ok, I'm sorry, but I have a question- did you or did you not just say that she's 18? I'm afraid that if that's true, you need to back off. Legally, she's an adult, and she can date whomever she wants. Unless he's hurting her, or doing something illegal, you don't really have a leg to stand on. I think that saying that she's 250lbs and only dating the guy because he shows interest is awful. That's almost like saying you don't believe she's capable of finding someone to genuinely like her!! Just because she's overweight doesn't mean that she can't find someone who is attracted to her. And just because the guy works at Mickey D's doesn't give you a reason to hate on him either! At least he's got a job! He may be a sweet guy! Have you tried to get to know him? Maybe the whole problem is you.....Sorry.

Look at the facts. She thinks he's sweet. He works. He likes her. They're both young adults. If you try to "lay down the law" at her age, she'll simply rebel - probably move in with him. Just because she likes a guy who works at McDonald's doesn't mean she's settling for "anyone who shows interest." Just because she weighs 250 lbs doesn't mean she's desperate. Give her some credit.

Wait a minute. She lives at home (since she's only 18, I'm guessing she's always lived at home), this guy has been a friend for 5 years, and you've never met him?
Something's fishy here...

Here's my take on it. So what if her boyfriend works at McDonald's? At least the guy is working. And after having been friends for 5 years, I think she should know whether or not he is a good guy. I don't think you have any right to try to break them up. It's her decision whether or not to keep him in her life. And I don't see her weight as an issue concerning this subject.

No don't do it. She will hate you forever and might just do something to spite you.
Sometimes lessons have to be learned with hands on experience. Don't worry so much 18 year olds always seem to be dating the wrong guy, haven't you noticed that?
It's a rite of passage of sorts, she will get over him. I guarantee it. She'll see his downfalls and all will be well. But she needs to see on her own so in the future it doesn't happen again.

why don't u just leave her alone? is there anything wrong with not having a driver's license and working at McDonalds? Unless that guy is a real jerk, you can end her relationship. If they are good friends, why not let them continue with their lives?

You can't end a relationship for a 18-year-old, no matter how wrong you think it is.
I wouldn't want my daughter to date someone that age with a dead-end job either, but if she's legal age, she can do what she wants. Sorry, Mom.

so, do you think because your daughter doesn't weigh less than 250 lbs. that she'll take any guy who comes her way? what does weight have to do with it? as long as their is nothing toxic or dangerous within their relationship, then i think you should let it be.

What if they really are in love and meant for each other? Do you have any proof that he's not a great guy (besides the fact that he doesn't drive and works fast food)? As long as she's happy and he treats her right, let her be.

You can't end their relationship, but you can make her move out and learn the value of a dollar. Maybe she'll change her mind about this wonderful guy...
