Daughters dating older boys

Hello everyone, hope your week is going well. Here's a questions for parents. (With my daughter only being 2 and my son only being 4, I haven't had to worry about this yet.) What do you do if your daughter, lets say she's a Freshman in High School, and she wants to date a Senior in High School. What do you do? I've heard many concerns from other parents who have teenage daughters who really don't know what to do. They feel if they say no the girl will sneak behind their backs and see him anyway. The parents don't really want to say it's ok because older boys can be more experienced than younger girls. Lets see what you have to say!!

Thanks for blogging and have a great week!

My daughter was not allowed to date until she was 16 (old school parenting), today is a different day and a different culture. Kids, especially girls are given liberties too young. If you can't keep them from wanting to date older guys just let her and him know, especially if he is 18 , if you touch my daughter inapropriately everyones going to know because your pictures going to be on the States sex offender website and you may be bunking with Bubba for for awhile too.

I have a daughter that will be approaching this age shortly, and I think that it comes down to how confident you feel about the morals you have instilled in your kids. You have to hope that they know right from wrong and are going to pick right choices. Of course all kids are going to make mistakes but I think it's how they recover from those mistakes that matters.

My daughter is 15 and a Freshman and she wanted to date a Junior. I decided that would not be ok. I told her that I trusted her but I didn't trust him. She admitted that he was experienced, but she didn't think he would pressure her. I told her he probably would. A week later, she told me that she didn't like him anymore because he got drunk and got back with his girlfriend. I asked her what upset her more: that he got back with the girlfriend or that he got drunk? She said "that he got drunk." Maybe next time I'll say "yes" because she seems to have her head on straight and know what her values are. Or she is really good at telling me what I want to hear!

Posted by: Riann My parents had this dilemma with me when I was 14. Ultimately, it came down to their trust in me. Lucky for them I was a responsible girl who picked a nice guy. We ended up dating for over a year and my parents loved him. Had I not been a "good girl" I'm sure they would have kept me locked up, but my parents raised me to be responsible and I would never want to disappoint them. Now, it's 10 years later and my parents have a teenage son, my brother, who they do have to worry about. They have their hands full, but I think, even though he's a bit more "wild" then I was,they instilled the same set of values in him.
