How do I stop my daughter dating the son of people who don't work?

    My daughter who is 19, has become smitten by one of the guys she went to school with. His parents, nor he, have never worked. How do I split them up?

    A parent trying to split up a child from their partner usually has the exact opposite result. So any action you take will actually most likely drive them more closely together which is exactly what you don't want. If this chap is as unsuitable as you believe he is, let your daughter find out herself and she will break if off in due course. Labelling him as unsuitable just because he or his parents do not work may be a dealbreaker for you or many others but may be not for your daughter. If the chap is actually a decent, kind person, that should be far more important but you haven't mentioned that.

    If as you think he’s a waster, and you’ve raised your daughter not to be she’ll soon get tired of him.

    Anything you do will just make things worse.

    Do you have any other objections to this guy, apart from the fact his parents don't work?

    Am pretty sure the op means this person (and his family) are some common as muck family who never had the intention, or will have the intention to work. Social welfare life for them.

    But I think you knew that but still asked your question anyways ;)
