[QUOTE="therese005us, post: 278632, member: 7416"] I hope you can talk easily to her. the more you emphasis your disapproval, the more she will probably want to push the boundaries. If you have had sensible talks about the boy being a friend only.... explained th difference between 'puppy love' and a long term committment... like, do you think you want to MARRY this boy? have his family and be together FOREVER?? No, I didn't think so. It's perfectly ok to have friends which are boys... even grown ups do, but we don't marry them all or commit ourselves to them only. It's a phase... remember when she was 9 or 10, and she was buddies with all the classmates, but came home every couple days saying this one or that one didn't like her anymore, and she didn't like them? Oh! I thought that would never end with my daughter now 23. It seemed I was forever getting tissues ready for the tears when she came through the door. It was just as harrowing for me as her, as I wasn't sure how long it was going to last. Well, that's my tuppence worth. [/QUOTE]
