what’s up?


I have a 14-1/2 year old freshman daughter who was just asked to homecoming. I am allowing her to go, as they are going in a large group and I have just met the young man for the first time. I still maintain she’s too young to date one-on-one and she cannot get into a car with someone that I have not met/do not know. What rules have you set up with your teen and dating?
I have a 19 year old son who did not start dating until he was a junior/senior in high school. He was interested in school activities, sports and working – so I was not prepared for this to happen so soon.
Please no sarcastic comments – I am looking for parents’ replies – not other teens. Thanks!

Ms. Rather Unique™ asked:


Is it really that hard to just end the relationship? How could they even put up with that and allow an individual to physically/mentally abuse them?

I just never really understood the whole concept of women staying in abusive relationships, whether its because they supposedly “love them” or because they have children together.

I just can’t fathom why anyone would stay in an abusive relationship, so why?
Serious answers only please.
I know this has nothing to do with pregnancy&parenting.
