[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so interesting. 
So one parent wants their kid to have a one night stand/fling…& is willing to plan a whole trip to magical Turkey (???) on the hope this will happen).
Another parent sat down their 13-year old to engineer social climbing relationships & ruthlessly cull less advantageous relationships so she can achieve the goal of going to a college where she is dating a guy in the best frat (who she may then use as a stepping stone to meet an even more desirable frat guy, if the opportunity presents itself).
What???
I have always thought people who have strong opinions on their kids dating in high school are kind of clueless. You can’t really stop a kid from having a crush or falling in love - sure, you can forbid dating but they will find a way to be together at a dance, text, share emotions for each other - you can’t control how their heart feels, so they will still have a bf/gf (even if they can’t see the person outside of school or whatever rules you put in place). But this kind of involvement in their feelings/relationships is crazy.  [/quote]
