[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS, 13, has had a "girlfriend" for a year.  He can call and text her, and they are Google + friends and email-- but we monitor his accounts and have never hidden from him that we are doing so.  He can invite her to our house, as long as an adult is home, but is not allowed to be in his bedroom with her or behind closed doors.   She has also been invited on family activities, like apple picking and the fair, and over for dinner.  They can go to our neighborhood pool in the summer-- but once again, only with  an adult present to keep an eye on things. She's a sweet girl, and we try to facilitate their being friends, but we monitor closely.  We've said "real" dating is for 16[/quote]

Sorry but that is completely inappropriate. If they stay together, they will be banging by 14.  [/quote]

Not in my house, while I am monitoring what is going on.  This is not a they head down  the basement and I see them two hours later situation.  It's a stay in eye sight of an adult one, complete with Duggar style chaperoning-- at home and in public. I suppose I could say no contact at all until 16, but I feel more comfortable with kids  gradually earring freedom and learning responsibility.  And in our house, You earn the freedom to go on a "date"-- that is be alone in public, no earlier than 16, and once you've shown you are responsible enough. I doubt we'll ever okay e tended perIons of alone time at home-- or at least before college.

So you think that your DS who you said could have a girlfriend as young as 12 but not officially go on a date alone until 16 won't do anything but hold this girl's hand? Kids have oral sex and intercourse in school all the time.  During, before, after, at football games, dances etc...   You are oblivious if you think your son will go potentially up to 4yrs with the same girl and not feel her up, finger her, get a hand job, oral sex etc... any chance they can.

And by the way, Duggar-style is NOT letting their kids have boy/girlfriends at age 12.  Give me a break.  [/quote]
