1 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: This is from Nonah on Steve Harvey FM. Nodah writes, 2 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: I really don't like my teenage daughter's best friend, and 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what I can really do about it. 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: She's rude, dismissive, and disrespectful, but my daughter absolutely adores her. 5 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 1: I can't shake the feeling that this girl is a 6 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: bad influence. I know how important friendships are at that age, 7 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: and I don't want to push my daughter away by 8 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: criticizing someone she cares about. But I have my limits 9 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: on what I can put up with. Should I step 10 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: in and limit my daughter's exposure to this bad influence? 11 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 1: Or is this one of those situations where I need 12 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: to let her figure it out on her own. 13 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 2: How old is the daughter? 14 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 1: She doesn't say. It's a teenager, though, but she doesn't 15 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: say how old. 16 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 2: Well, I'll say this again. Two most important things you 17 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: can provide for your child. Love and guidance. Yes, don't 18 00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 2: ever stop guiding. Folks, don't ever stop guiding, because, whether 19 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 2: they realize it or not, you do know, you really 20 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: do know. How many times I heard daddy, it ain't 21 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 2: like that, no more? Okay, but this he is though? 22 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I got all you said. Yeah, yeah. 23 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, well it wasn't no technology when no phone camera 24 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: got all that. 25 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: This hit the same. Yeah, we just won't be posting it, 26 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: but it's the same. So so how should her mom 27 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: approach it? 28 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: I don't know hell and I don't know the baby. 29 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: Okay, well, you. 30 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 2: Know, sure, I can't help everybody. I just told her, 31 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 2: don't stop guiding. 32 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, she doesn't want to, you know, turn her 33 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: daughter off. That her daughter. Okay, okay, okay, we'll go 34 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: on and be her friend then. 35 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: See, that's what the frustration of these parents today is 36 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: you so busy worrying about whether you liked or not 37 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: that you sit there and watch your child make a mistake. 38 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: You know you can't do that. You got to say something, 39 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: for sure, You have to. You gotta say something, all right, 40 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: all right, we do have time for another one. Alicia 41 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: and Steve HARVEYFM says, I've been dating my boyfriend for 42 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: a few months and he lives with a close friend 43 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: who's always been super nice and welcoming. But I've started 44 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 1: noticing something uncomfortable. When we're in my boyfriend's room being intimate. 45 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: The TV in the living room suddenly gets quiet or 46 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: pauses and more than once. It felt like his roommate 47 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: might be listening outside the door. How do I bring 48 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: this up to my boyfriend? What? 49 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: Why don't you just bring it up? 50 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:46,839 Speaker 1: Yes, say something or open the door man? 51 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, just why don't you say something your boyfriend?
