[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not American, but I don’t see the issue with carpooling. What’s wrong with that? We don’t do sleepovers due to a fear of SA, and [b]we wouldn’t allow dating, because we don’t believe in intimacy before marriage[/b], but what is wrong with carpooling?[/quote]

How will you control this when your kid is in college?[/quote]
We don’t. We have three, one in MS, one in HS, and a college freshmen. They won’t do it because they just aren’t interested, and would rather wait.[/quote]

This whole thread is very bizarre and truly divorced from reality.[/quote]

What is bizarre? It is considered ok for American kids to fornicate from their teen years by their parents. Around the world it is not the norm.  From an immigrant perspective - there is no need for our children to follow this practice.  But, if they do? There is something legally that can be done by the parents only as long as they are minors, but otherwise what can you do? Maybe cut them off from the family or something.  I mean in many families there will be consequences.

On the other hand - It is ok for American kids to not love Math. Around the world, it is a cause for great concern for parents if their kid is not proficient in Math.  It is just the way things are.  Maybe American parents do not see the value in getting upset over Math.  And if that is the case - isn't that their choice and cultural preference? [/quote]

Allowing teens to fornicate with parental approval is a french and nordic country western European thing.[/quote]
