-- he's mouthy and brash, blustery, arrogant.  I think he tries to tell my daughter what to do too much.  She defend him--all his friends say he's a nice guy, etc, he works regularly, doesn't believe in debt, and other good things.  I have advised her at least it might be a good idea to get a prenup-type agreement to protect her and her little girl's interests, including the house.  She didn't like that.  His mother and father apparently abandoned him, and his grandmother, who he says he does love, raised him.  My experience is that most grandparents are indulgent, especially with a boy in that situation.  Maybe I'm reading too much into that--just cautioned my daughter to be careful and go into it with her eyes open.
