[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think anyone against teen dating it really weird, but there are plenty of helicopter parents of this generation.

I would still make sure all is well on their parents end.  Maybe something happened that is making them second guess the relationship and she isn't telling you [/quote]

+1000. I had lunch with a mom last week who shared that she doesn’t let her 14 year old son date and seemed bothered he’s dating someone.  She said they tell people they are dating but she doesn’t allow him to see her outside of school. The mom also read his text messages with the GF.  Apparently the son told the mom “don’t worry mom you’ll always be my first love.”

The entire time I was thinking - GET A LIFE. 
It comes across as almost stalking the child and monopolizing their time.

Also it makes dating a bigger deal than it is.  Getting to know the opposite sex and having romantic interests is a normal part of life and growing up.  Acting like it’s some extreme event isn’t doing your kids any favors.
