[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents knew nothing about my dating life until I met my husband when I was 23.

That didn't mean I didn't have one. I just didn't tell them. [/quote]

I'm puzzled by posts like this acting as if it's normal to hide a companion from your parents for 20 plus years. Our kids have been bringing home boyfriends and girlfriends since probably middle school. You have to be a pretty oblivious parent to not pick up on or care about who your kids spend time with. OP's son probably is not keep a secret, he simply does not have one. If he had one, she'd visit his parents and/or he'd visit hers.[b] Taking a college companion to your hometown during a school break is a right of passage in college. [/b]And, you know, there's this thing called social media kids, especially young women, post relationships on.[/quote]

No, it is not. Many people do not tell their parents about their dating life unless they are dating somebody who is very serious and they’re considering marriage. It is certainly not a universal right of passage to bring a college girlfriend or boyfriend home for a break at all.[/quote]
