[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will go first. - No sleepovers. I have held 1/2 sleepovers...(kids wear PJ's, have fun but get picked up at 11:00 pm). - No dating in HS. - No carpools for my kids. We did offer rides and ran carpools for our friend's children if they asked for it but never for mine. [/quote] I'm curious about the no dating in HS thing. How do you prevent your 16 year old, for example, from having a boyfriend? She is out of the house at school for a large part of the day, and then presumably is allowed out with friends at least occasionally. How do you prevent her from having a romantic interest, which is so natural and normal at that age? [/quote] I knew plenty of people in HS whose parents “forbid” them from dating. Guess what? They definitely still had boyfriends and girlfriends. They were just sneaky about it and had parents that “trusted them completely” because of course their kids never lied. [/quote]
