Hello- I'm new here
| Wed, 01-02-2008 - 9:57am |
Hi. I have been reading posts here for a few days now. I'm a stay home Mom of 3 girls, 13, 10, & 8. Being the parent of a teen is a whole new ballgame for us. She is a good kid and makes good grades, but sometimes does really stupid stuff (as I guess most teens do).
Well, just wanted to join and say hello. I'm sure that I will be a frequent poster since the teen thing is so new for us.

Hi there, I am new here too! My DD will turn 14 on 2/10 and I decided I needed to start visiting this board now as well--we are definitely dealing with some major teen mentalities and attitudes as well!
Anyway, I am Laura 30 year old SAHM to Emily almost 14, Jordan 9 and Carys 4 1/2 and we are in IL!

Thanks so much for the welcome. I already feel so at home here. My 13 yro has her first boyfriend. Granted they are not allowed to date, but they do get together with in their large group of friends for movies and laser tag games, and some times trips to the mall as a group. My DH is having a really hard time with the fact that she has a boyfriend. They had a little tiff last night and she got really upset and was crying, I thought her Dad was going to drive to the boys house and rip him a new one for upsetting his "baby girl". I told him this is just the beginning and that he needed to get used to this type of thing and it would be all over by morning (and it was). His response was NO! I do not have to get used to it, and I will not ever like it. If he had his way he would lock her away in her room until she turns 40!!!!

Hey There!
Welcome to the board.
I thought her Dad was going to drive to the boys house and rip him a new one for upsetting his "baby girl".

Deja vu...
I can empathize with your husband. With the onset of the first "boyfriend" the typical response is termination... :-)
However, there *are* healthier, legal,
Hi, and welcome!
Daddies do tend to have a real problem with any boy that makes their little girl cry.
