One of my doctors had a couple of rebellious daughters that would bring home ever increasingly unsavory characters as their dates... Rather than get upset at the tattoos and piercings, and gawd knows what else, the affable doc would throw his arms around the "date" and exclaim, "Welcome to the family son!..., we're looking forward to becoming grandparents..." The doc says he never had to discuss the daughters' choices w/ them, because he always (over) encouraged the situation publicly, despite what his real feelings were. The daughters both grew up to be very successful, and eventually married fine, upstanding gentlemen.
There has to be a certain amount of trust in the choices our kid's make.
Hopefully son cbelt3 can learn and benefit from his sister's circle of friends, even if this isn't the appropriate (lucky?) opportunity.
