[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My parents controlled exactly what "dating" was for me in high school, and I appreciate it. I really wasn't bothered by it then, either.
I wasn't allowed to talk on the phone after 7 pm, so no "all night long" talk fests like some of my friends.
No boys in the house unless my parents were home.
No boys upstairs, ever.
I could go out in groups, and that was always verified (so 2 boys and 2 girls to a movie. It was actually more fun that way with a girlfriend!)
Boys had to come over first, spend some time inside talking to my dad. That was hilarious.
And it was limited to weekends, week days were for school work.
The result was fun, age appropriate dating a few times per month and no chance for a serious, heavy, too involved relationship that took over school focus and was too much for my maturity level.
I plan to do the same thing for my kids [/quote]

This is similar to my upbringing.  I don't think you can control the kind of relationship a kid has with others.  But you can set parameters on their interactions outside of school.[/quote]
