[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to let go. he’s 15, not 20. Daytime dates with a 14 and 15 year old seem pretty innocuous. What are you so panicked about? [/quote]
OP here, he turns 16 on Friday, actually.

I’m worried about his access to a car, and how he’s older in general. I think if we all look back, we matured quite a bit between 14 (which my DD just turned) and 16 (which he will be in 48 hours.) It’s just not something we are comfortable encouraging, especially as a first crush/interest. [/quote]

So as a fact check,  a child turning 16 on October 31 is not a redshirted sophomore unless you live in NY state or something and are not in the DMV?

My son is about to turn 16 and should be a sophomore.

I think it's kind of weird you're so obsessed with his actual age.  That's not how kids work.  He's a year older than her in school.  They're in the grades they should be.  They like each other in high school.  They want to hang out at the coffee place. This is all normal stuff.  High school there is a lot more social interaction between grades.  Keep an eye on alone time at houses and fine, don't encourage that.  But the rest of this, you are being super controlling and it will backfire.[/quote]
