[quote=Anonymous]Land the helicopters!   Do you all even remember being in MS?  They are probably texting more than with other friends, going to movies together and getting to know each other.  It's the beginning of learning how to date members of the opposite sex, and it's better they start this under your roof where you can monitor their behavior and mental health than when they are off to college. And hopefully, they are balancing things well: grades aren't slipping, they are still engaged with activities and friends of the same sex (as opposed to going all in 100% of every minute with the new significant other).  The rules we had at that age were no hanging out at either home unless a parent was there, and we had to know where they were (but that's a rule no matter who they are with, male or female).

Ask questions.  Larlo, how is it going with Larla?  Tell me about Larla? Be interested but not not obsessed.  Be curious but not invasive.  Be there to answer questions.  Be a parent[/quote]
