How do you get a man to stop allowing his grown kids to control his choice of potential mates? They just don't want him to date anyone and i think that this is unfair.

Inheritence is one of the reasons probably and i do not think that that is the only reason. They are very selfish and controlling. They have never grown up because their father has never allowed them to. Their father (my boyfriend) is an enabler and feeds into their behaviour because he has a huge need to be needed. Any suggestions??????

Thanks

vsnod agony auntIt's really up to him on what to do with the kids. As a parent, he is more responsible for this than they are. Did he divorce their mother? Because he could be letting them act like this because of guilt he still has. The best thing for you to do is talk to him honestly about things (without getting angry). Also, don't make it seem like you want to come between them, you just want everyone to get along.

daniellexxxx agony auntWell it's up to him to tell his kids i think it will make it worse if you tell him. As they are still his little children no parents think there kids grow up.

Just make a hint like a joke one day about it and see what he says you mite get through to him you never no. Theres nothing worse than spoilt little brats that run peoples lives.

Good luck.
