I just wonder if you can do this?
FWIW, all of the people that I've heard of who have grown up under such circumstances have wound up quite confused and nowhere near the target profession.

As far as the preteen thing goes, undone ...

First, be grateful that you are not her parent.

Second, take a deep breath and remember that it doesn't last forever, it just seems that way.

Third, WTF is an 11 year old doing with a "boyfriend"???
Oh, that Jim Jones. Ok. Mmmmm poisoned kool-aid.
It's looks like the 11 year old neice "broke it off" with the guy sighting "You are too immature"
He responded that he could be more mature.
She said, "No, that is just the way you are."
All I know is when I was eleven boys ranked right up there with rotten egg farts. You would do anything to avoid them.
Maybe my girls grow up measuring all boys against their dad, No one could possibly spoil them as much as he does.
Thanks for the good advice Wolf.
