[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 12, “dating” means that their “friend” is welcome to join you in wholesome family activities, come over for dinner, or do something involving minimal physical contact in a public area of the house with an adult present.  Not alone in the basement watching a movie. Not out in public together unless it’s a family activity.   Your daughter only goes to her “friend’s” house if you know the parents and trust them to hold to these standards.   And if she says she is with friends and not the boy, she had better be with friends and not the boy.

Either the boy really loves your Dad for her sparkling wit and amazing personality, or he doesn’t make it a month.

You are the parent. You give rides, iPhones, money.  I don’t have a lot of patience for “I can’t stop my 12 year old from...” You can put a stop to it at 12.  It might not be pleasant for you or the kid, but you can put a stop to it. And you should. Because it’s going to be a lot harder when she and her friends start driving.

The piece that jumped out to me is the “she’s the first in her friend group”.  Yikes. That’s not a good sign.

This OP. You need to grow a backbone, and stat. Also, get your DH involved in this. Has the young man in question come to the house yet to meet you both? You need to start setting the expectations for your DD now.[/quote]
