[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, he will not talk about it with you. This is normal behavior for a teen. Back off. [/quote]

+1 These posts lately are making me nostalgic for my 90s upbringing when parents had no clue what their kids were thinking or doing.[/quote]

Oh please. I was a teen in the early 90s. And, yes, my parents has zero clue what I was doing or thinking. I do not use that as the bar for good parenting given that they probably should have known more I was doing. a LOT of things that were problematic. I didn't trust them to talk to them.

I don't favor the know every movement or thought of some of todays parents. But there is a middle ground and the trick is finding that. [/quote]

Same.  My parents didn’t have a clue and I definitely did some problematic stuff.

It’s a balance.  My HS son does talk about the girl he’s dating, but mostly logistical stuff like where they went out for dinner, etc.  No gory details but we do try to stress being respectful and kind.  I dated different guys in college and there is a definite difference between guys who are raised being ‘taught’ how to date and those who received no guidance.

Look at all the talk of how Kelce’s mom raised her two boys right whenever you see him treating Taylor Swift correctly.  Clearly having a parent to guide your behavior while dating can be helpful.  [/quote]
