Chapter 1: What should I do if my son is dating someone significantly older?
Okay, good. Because my nine-year-old is not having me right now. And so I need to pass on nine-year-old parenting questions. But I'm happy to lecture you on adult child questions. What's up?
Please do. So my 20-year-old son, he's my oldest. He has started a relationship with a 37-year-old woman. And I want to know if I'm irrational for trying to steer him away from her.
How old are you?
I'm 39.
