[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is 18 and dating a boy the same age. I just asked her questions about him today because I'm going to buy them matching holiday pajama pants. Yes, he's invited.

Am I slightly uncomfortable that my wittle baby girl is in a semi-adult relationship? Yes. But do I want to drive her away by saying someone she feels strongly about is not welcome? No. I want to get to know him. So come on over. Tell me everything! [/quote]

They are 18 and adults.[/quote]

No, they are just 18. She's not an adult. She's just an 18 yr old.[/quote]

Whatever. We and the law disagree with infantilizing your adult child.  -NP [/quote]

Whatever indeed.  She dropped out of high school due to debilitatingly severe anxiety and a raging eating disorder and hasn't done anything but various therapies for well over a year. I assure you, she is NOT qualified to vote or defend our country or buy a gun. I will continue to meet her where she is and very gently support her efforts to move her life forward. But yay for you, for assuming you know my "adult" kid better than I do. [/quote]

NP. Adults have eating disorders and anxiety too. Just sayin’
That’s nice you are supportive and got matching PJ’s - good call! [/quote]
