At what age will dating be allowed in your house? What kind of rules and standards will be set?
(I know for some this is a long way off, however you have to have something in your mind as a guideline, so share that)

>>>When they are 16, do we want our daughters dating 29 year olds?>>


Now that I am an adult AND a parent. I agree with you. When I was 16, I dated a 22 year old man. What business really did he have dating me? I wasn't sexually active yet, we couldn't really hang in the same social settings....what a dork! LOL......

I think that once a kid is over 18, they should be allowed to date whomever they choose, provided they don't live at home...LOL. If they live at home, then they have to be reasonable. As far as age, if they are 16, they don't date anyone 18 or older, until they're 18. EVERYTHING changes at 18...LOL

I haven't really thought about it much. I would say probably around 15 or 16 for single dating, he can go out in groups before then. He is just starting to notice girls so I think we are safe for a while. The same rules would apply for Rachel and Matthew.

Wow, i try hard not to think about this but it is just around the corner. I think it will depend on the maturity of each of my girls. Neither is allowed to have a boyfriend right now and thankfully neither is interestered either. I had my first real boyfriend when i wad 14. He came to our house yet i did not go to his house. We went to the fair together and that type of thing, we kissed but that is where it ended.
I can't see Tegan being ready anytime soon, she will be 13 in November but then again alot can change in a year. Kelsey is very mature for her age but i wouldn't allow a boyfriend for either one until they are at least 15....i think, can i change my mind and say 30??

They'll be allowed to start dating right after they finish their master's thesis! HAHA!!! Rules will include having all clothing 'staple gunned' to their bodies, being escorted by a priest and home by sun down!!!

I'm not over protective am I?
