[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course my 12 year old boys can go to the movies with girls, they are people and I don't segregate my boys from girls. I don't really understand the all boy activities.

This is different. I'm all for class parties, big group activities, all-the-kids-on-the-block are going type of things. That is very, very different from two boys deciding they are interested in two girls, and the four of them double dating, in effect, to a movie.[/quote]

I am quite sure if the OP's son is correctly socialized with girls it would not be all that big of a deal for 2 boys to go to the movies with 2 girls. If this socialization has not happened properly you simply say. Of course you can go to the movies with girls, the girls can meet you there or carpool (just like with boys), you are not paying (just like with boys), this is not a date. Two boys should not have to questions whether it is okay to ask 2 girls to go to the movies with them.[/quote]

Ha.  It is not the double date at 12 that you (typically) have to worry about.  It's the romantic LOVE of star crossed 14 year olds that you have to worry about.  Don't be afraid to look down the road a stretch and see what's coming straight at you...[/quote]
