[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First real boyfriend started at her 15th birthday. She felt like we would expect to meet him before they started dating so we were introduced at the HS football game the day before the homecoming dance.

We don’t really have rules except they can’t be alone in either house - a parent must be present. Also they couldn’t drive each until they had their licenses for six months - which is the law. Once they started driving I ask they they tell me when they are leaving and when they arrive someplace and let me know if plans change.

Other than school and school activities they really didn’t see each other a lot outside of school. it was only when parents could/would take them places. They tended to hang out at our house but sometimes would want to go to the movies or ice skating or something like that. The families shared the driving.

[b]We did meet meet the mom shortly on (single mom) and within less than a year the families started spending time together - holiday dinners, beach time, etc. [/b]

The big surprise to me is how much time they spend on FT together. They just
Do their own things but stay on FT. Like he can be gaming and she can be reading but they’re on FT.

He treats my daughter very well. They show up for each other when it counts. Both families show up when something important is happening for one of them. Both kids are rule followers and really
Busy with school and sports. Both are straight A students and grades haven’t dropped. It has been surprisingly easy to navigate. [/quote]

At 15/16 spending holidays and vacations together as families is WEIRD. So is constant face time while doing other things. Do they even see friends? This is way too deep. [/quote]

I agree. I have three kids in HS and they’re attractive and smart athletes- none have partnered up yet. I’m glad. Seems inappropriate to assume 15 YOs are having sex after three mos like PP wrote.

I didn’t even start menstruating till 16- was an athlete too. [/quote]
