Going out with the opposite sex
| Mon, 11-06-2006 - 2:45pm |
DD is 10.9 years old. Yesterday a friend of hers called to see if she wanted to go to the movies with two boys. It was an easy one this time b/c she is just getting over the flu so it was easy to say no.
Well her friend's mom called (she is my friend too) to ask if Kelsey was allowed to go. I said no b/c of the flu thing and i also said i thought she was too young to be going to the movies with boys. I think if she is going to the movies at 10 then what is she going to want to do at 12. If she wants to go with a girlfriend and i drop them off and pick them up then that would be okay.
What does everyone else think? Am i being silly?

Nope don't think you're silly at all!
It sounds like that was a couple thing! If so, then I agree with you that 10 is too young. On the other hand, if they are all just friends, I don’t see anything wrong with going out to a movie together whether its 3 girls and 1 boy, or 2 boys and 2 girls. My son (he turns 12 next month) went to the movies with 2 girls and another boy recently, however there were around 6 other kids invited and the attendees list changed considerably with the final outcome being 2 girls, my son, and his best friend. That was fine with me.
I may be more relaxed with mixed gender activities since I have boy/girl twins.
