Now over a year later DD is getting feeling they don’t like her and the relationship. They don’t go to the same school or live in the same town. They see each other at most once a week but more often every other week or more. They are both great students w serious outside sports commitments. They do things separately with friends. DD thinks BFs parents thought it was cute at first but didn’t expect them to stay together so long - and now think that he shouldn’t be involved in a long term relationship. Dad wants him to be a guys guy and the mom wants him focused only on studies. They are a bit helicopter parents. We on the other hand are totally fine w them being together. It’s not all the time and her academics are good.

Does your DS have a GF and, assuming it’s not an unhealthy situation, are you ok with it? I’m not going to get involved but just curious about what boy parents’ views are. I shouldn’t care but I think my DD is great and can’t understand it for her.

All teens talk about marriage when they date. It rarely amounts to that. Let them be

Also, at home there was no cultural pressure on my kids to lose their virginity.

They hooked up. You just didn’t know it

DP. You know you’re lying. Many of us have told you that we were good kids.

New poster here. I was a "good kid," too, so I know they exist. But I would never make assumptions about someone else's hook-up habits.
