You already know this is a problem and this should not be going on. Your husband has every right to be livid. I wish my husband would have that much reaction to things that he should have stepped up to the plate and been the head of our home. Either the friend will live by your rules or he can go elsewhere. Simple as that. It sounds as if your daughter's friend may have gone too far already. I don't know the law in your state, but keep in mind if this boy is 18, the friend is 16, her parents get wind of this, it could be your behind on the line. They may not like what you have to say, but that's too bad. When they have kids of their own, they'll see if differently. You can't be a buddy and a parent right now.
