Blonde GF

My first post on tmdb! So, my doubt is about the kid's blonde girlfriend. At one point, Lee drives his nephew and the blonde GF (forgot her name, sorry) to his brother's house, and then leaves to do some stuff, knowing full well what they will be doing in there in his absence. I understand that this means that Lee is giving the kid permission to go ahead and pork the blonde after specifically forbidding him the same with Sylvie. To me, this means that: a) Lee doesn't give a fuck about Sylvie's feelings (he doesn't like her? If this is the case, I didn't get why) , b) wants his nephew to explore the consequences of the path he's gone into and take responsibility for it, since he's getting "of age". When he drives away, the couple says something about Sylvie, which I missed, since I'm not a native English speaker. Can anyone clarify this situation to me? Is it that the events brought Lee closer to his nephew and the fact of forbidding this to him doesn't make sense anymore? Or is it that Lee specifically didn't like Sylvie and wanted to encourage this other relation instead?

In the morning in their house, she was extremely rude, he thought she is setting up table for all of them and even thanked her, while she just set up table for her and her BF.
Later when he was making arrangement some teenager hold his hand while he is calling and dealing with mess and telling him Patrick doesn't need to be around to hear this, while Patrick was fine with that.
I fully understood why Lee didn't want that annoying smartass girl back in their house. Later when he asked him if he doesn't wanna call her, he just thought it will make Patrick happy since he saw he ain't feeling well.

I had no bigger interpretation from this except Lee knew that Patrick had sex with Sylvie and didn´t have it yet with Sandy.
The fact Patrick had two girlfriends didnt bother Lee at all and it´s only called male socialization and solidarity.
It´s not usual to have men confronting men for doing shit to women.
