My daughter told me something last night and its just rubbing me the wrong way! I felt weird posting on FB so I'll do it here-

DD is 8 and in 3rd grade

she came home yesterday and told me that a boy in her class has a crush on her - she was so excited because while she has a had a crush on a boy before this was the first time a boy had a crush on her.

She said they were going to get married and move to AZ - I asked why AZ and she said that's where he wants to live. Then she said they are having 3 kids - she has always been adamant about NOT having kids - now she wants 3 because he does. I told her it was ok to say NO about anything and her response was "I cant say no to him" Umm, YES YOU CAN!!!

She said they haven't kissed yet - I told her she's 8 and doesn't need to be kissing boys - she asked if it was ok if he made a kissy face at her far away since their lips didn't touch (what? that's weird she is 8!!!)

He also told her to not tell anyone but she said she told me because she was so excited.

Ugh -the whole thing rubs me the wrong way - the secrets, her willing to do whatever HE wants

Am I overreacting?? We talked last night about making your own choices and how saying NO is ALWAYS acceptable but I feel like I need to say more

What would you guys do? Anything? Nothing? Just a simple crush and let it go?
