[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is a freshman. He has a big school dance coming up and asked a sweet girl, who happens to be Indian and has strict parents. Her parents apparently don’t know she is going to the dance or that she is “dating” DS. Dating for them so far means meeting for ice cream after school and FaceTiming late at night.

Do I do anything?? I don’t like that she’s lying to her parents. He says she’s frustrated and doesn’t care. I will be meeting her in person tomorrow and plan to offer to meet her parents with DS. What else should I do? [/quote]

We live in a community with a lot of Indian families. Majority of them are strict and don't let their kids (especially daughters) date, regardless of race, ethnicity. The biggest priority for them is education and they don't want anything to get in the way of that. I get it. I also know that many of my daughter's friends who are Indian talk to/date boys in secret. Telling their parents is not an option they would even consider or else they risk losing all privileges (going out with friends, going to functions, etc.). OP, don't bother meeting the parents. It will likely result in this girl never being able to see your son or hanging out with friends for a long time. It's a cultural thing and you won't be able to change their minds.  [/quote]

It is not appropriate for the young people to be doing this dating and such in the high school years. No.  School is for learning.  Children must focus on their lessons.  Later on, when the time comes, the parents need to be the people who help the child and find the right person from a good family for them.  This is what decent parents do.[/quote]

Can’t tell if this is for real or parody.[/quote]

It’s Lane Kim’s mom, or almost exactly what she says in season 1 or 2. [/quote]
