[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 145679, member: 393"] [B][COLOR=Teal][SIZE=3][FONT=Century Gothic]MWM, husband's infamous response to kt's announcement of her first boyfriend was "get thee to a nunnery". Scared the bejeebers out of poor kt - I just sat at the table laughing my fool head off. I'm seeing in more & more; to fit in, you have to have a boyfriend. Now, I'm not sure how much the boys are into this - what I see (which isn't a whole lot this year) is that the boys were more into sports & guy things. It seemed more in kt's & her friends minds that these guys were indeed boyfriends. I understand your concerns for your daughter; however she's going to do this now when all her friends are in the throes of young love or she's going to wait & feel a bit left out. I would hazard that she'd rather be with her friends & risk being hurt. (As a mom, I'd rather now when these relationships aren't quite as intense as in the later teen years). Good luck. by the way, my husband is threatening kt that he will chaperone (sp?) each & every one of kt's dates - he in the front seat with her date - she in the back seat being totally humiliated. Every dad's dream. Mom will have to reign him in - play mediator. [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
