Letting your kids date

[Aristotle]

I agree with a lot of you. It's easy to feel comfortable in terms of dating with your son since you know, if you raised him half right, that he would take responsibly for any mistakes and eventually take control of his own life. With girls, you're always afraid some smooth talker will come along and "ruin" your daughter's life in one fell swoop.

EDIT: I took a gander at this after I posted it and, in conjunction with taking a gander at my avatar, I have decided I will not post any more in the Parenting forum.

Let them date. Honestly, think back to when you were younger. You wanted to do the things you were not allowed to do, so do they.

Besides, a dont do this Jhonny speech can't hold its own against raging teen horomones, LOL

Our son is 15 and not yet driving. He is handsome and popular, and as far as we know, he meets with other kids in groups in such places as the mall, bowling alley, sports events, and school functions. They call it "dating", although by our adult standards it really isn't.

I also have 2 Goddaughters, and although it is a bit of a double standard, I'm so glad I have a boy instead of a girl.

I don't have any kids, but thinking about it when I do and they grow up and stuff. I'd be a lot more cautious about my daughter dating than a son. My reasons would be this, with my son, he'll be raised to respect women and treat a lady right. So anygirl he dates I'll expect him to treat her right. Also if he starts having sex and has a kid, I'll support my son but it will be time for him to step up and do the right thing.
If I have a daughter, I will do some serious looking at her boyfriends character. I'm not going to forbid this/that or whatever....hmmmm

I just thought "if you raise your kids right, you shouldn't have much to worry about"
so maybe I won't

i entirely agree

You should def let her date. Teach and talk to her about her experiences so she will know what to and not to do. Give her some direction now before she goes into college. Because the majority of girls that are in college and havent been guided by someone are total sluts. Excuse my language
