Dear Juan: I'm dating my son's teacher!

Hola amigos, it’s your pal Señor Juan!

Before Juan give advice today Juan ask reader please pray for Uncle Paco he is in hospital.

You read you say “¡Dios mío! Why Uncle Paco in hospital Juan?” Uncle Paco have accident at work get hurt is very bad and Juan tell you about it now.

Uncle Paco work very hard at shop Uncle Paco Tacos and T-shirts Uncle Paco work every day all day long open to close. Mi Hermana Josefina tell Uncle Paco “Tío you work too much you must slow down”. Uncle Paco say “No Josefina you are just lazy I work very hard make mucho dinero.” Juan work very hard too but Juan also know must take day off to rest. Even Señor Dios take day off on Sunday so it is okay. Juan tell Uncle Paco and Uncle Paco tell Juan “yes and maybe Señor Dios pay bill too oh wait he no pay bill so I must work every day”.

Uncle Paco work very hard. Uncle Paco heart also work very hard. Uncle Paco heart work very hard and say “okay señor I must take break now”. Uncle Paco have heart attack at work fall down and hit head on grill. Boricua Luis come ask Uncle Paco about menu see Uncle Paco on floor call ambulance. Uncle Paco no die so that is good but hospital say keep him for week. Uncle Paco say okay I take break but Juan cover for me por favor. Juan say yes that is fine and Juan tell AJ and AJ say okay family come first only do one Dear Juan article this month it is fine. AJ also say he visit Uncle Paco soon.

Today Juan answer question from man who date son teacher.

Dear Juan,

I’m a single father with two boys (12 and 8). My 8 y/o started 2nd grade this year and of course that means meeting the new teacher.

Well I went to parent teacher night and met the new teacher. We talked for a little bit and we really hit it off. Long story short we went out on a date together. Then we went out on another date. I really like this woman and I think this relationship could go somewhere but I don’t know what to tell my son. His mother isn’t in the picture anymore (drugs) and I’ve brought home women a few times and he’s been fine with them but this time it’s his teacher so that might be a different story.

We really like each other a lot and want to make this official but I don’t know how to tell my son that I’m dating his teacher. How do I tell him?

This stupid question Señor Erik why you ask this?

You read you say “what in the hell Juan I ask you for help why you call me stupid?” Juan say you are stupid because you ask question have very easy answer but that is fine because Juan answer anyway.

You say you bring home many woman and son okay. What you tell son when you bring woman home then? That is what you must tell son now.

You say “yes Juan but is different now I bring home son teacher you no read question?” Juan know this. What Juan no know is why is different? Yes woman teach son but why is different? You bring home other woman she have job so you bring home woman have job but job is teach son. Is just job Señor Erik. Juan think bring home woman teach son very good because she already know son. Juan come to America many year ago date woman Brittany with three kids and Juan know is very hard date parent meet kid first time. Brittany have son 9 year old ask Juan play kickball. Juan say yes play kickball with son and son say “okay I kick ball now” and kick Juan in balls. You bring home son teacher he no kick her in balls because he know her already. Son also no kick her in balls because she woman no have balls so that is good too.

You bring home teacher say “mijo I have to tell you something muy importante” and son say “yes Papa but why is teacher here too I no at school I am home”. You say “yes mijo that is what I tell you now. I am dating your teacher mijo we like each other very much. We go to dinner at Uncle Paco Tacos and T-shirts tonight you come too mijo we eat mucho taco and I buy you nice shirt.” You do this you go to dinner and son see is okay you date teacher. Juan no sure you live in Philadelphia if no then you must go to different restaurant like Applebees or Longhorn Steakhouse. You date teacher she give son good grade too so that is also good.

Best of luck to you amigo.
