@regberadaisy: I totally forgot about being legal and an adult, hahahahah. DH said he's not leeting DD date until she's 30, hahaha.

I was 13 when I had my first bf but my parents not only didn't set an age limit but they also didn't even know for awhile, lol. But that wasn't bc I was a bad or sneaky kid but because it was pretty arbitrary, we rarely were even alone. So I don't think I'd set an age limit, I'd just be honest about being responsible, etc ( and just because I dated early didn't mean I was risky, I ended up being a later bloomer than most people I knew, like my hs bf cheated on me bc I wouldn't sleep w him...)

Probably 16 but it would be conditional on how mature she seems by then

@regberadaisy: I was one of the ones that chose 12 years old! But to my defense, I was thinking about walking to the pizzeria with a boy in her class.

If it meant any hanky panky, then 21+ and even then, I don't ever want to hear about it!

@swurlygurl: as a boy mom, I am kind of offended by this, even though I know you probably wrote it in a joking manner. Parents need to support each other.

@looch: I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be offensive I did say that in a joking manner, I don't really think that about boys. I have 2 nephews and I know they're going to be wonderful, respectful young men. I'm a little traumatized by watching my younger sister's very scandalous high school years though...

Aaaaaaaaaaaah! I have no idea! I don't wanna think about it! I'd prefer that they'd wait until they're looking for a spouse, but that's going to have to be their decision. For actual, official dates, I think 16 or 17- whenever they'll have their full drivers license. I will drive groups of friends around, but I won't drive them around for solo dates. Although, I know a lot if kids who married the guy/girl they started dating at 15 or 16 (this is a cultural thing though, I think). And special dates, like, being asked to prom at 15 would be allowed, as long as we've met the guy/girl. But we'd have to meet anyone they chose to date before the age of 18, I think.
Mostly, I just want my baby girl to know who she is and how valuable she is all by herself, without needing a boyfriend to prove it or having to let him touch her to be a worthy girlfriend. No, no, no.
