now that i have your attention :)

how young do youngin's start dating these days?? my almost 11yr was asked out by a 12yr to the movies today - is this normal?? i mean hes been out with a group of friends and i know he has kissed a girl (his bros are great for recon) but this is a one on one thing

she seems nice enough but ive not met her folks yet, son is traumatized by my messing with him already so do you let your under teens date? 

lol i love this topic name. i clicked on it and my daughter is only one just bcuz im nosey. 

My son is only one... But i think going to the movies if fine. 

i had a 12 y/o "ho" lol send my son pics of her in a bra and some booty shorts, i immediately took his phone and text her back telling that was not a good thing, and that she was too young to be sending out pictures like this, and that if i saw them again i would find her mother..come to find out she send them to a few more boys too..i tried texting her but apprently she no longer has the same number, and i still have my sons phone, hes not getting it back for awhile.

i have let my son go on movie group dates but not alone.. 

I have no idea.. I know I was asked out at that age but hell if my parents let me set foot out the door.. which resulted in sneaking around.. lol. I don't know.. its tough.. 

@juju, wow! kids are so aggressive these days its scary! ive had giggling girls on my doorstep asking for my boys and like i said i know hes kissed a girl but its scary to think how quick they are growing up. ive seen one of my nephews facebook and hes about 14 and the girls on it are very blatant and sexual with their pics - ugghhh!!!! 

45. That's my final answer, lol. 

we deleted my sons fb, not because of things he was saying, but because of things other kids were saying on his page, the cursing, using the "n" word. my sons a follower, so i had to step in and explain to him this will not be tolerated if you cant tell your friends to have more respect on your page, you will not have a page..so we deleted it. 

Group dates are fine, the My tween hasn't asked but my teen she tried slipping a Boyfriend passed us and she is 15.

Maybe agree to a group date and a parent has to be there or if they want to go just the two a parent has to go and the parent can sit a row or two behind or infront. 

My first date was in 8th grade so that's like 13? We went to dinner and the movies to celebrate his grandmas birthday. Lmao. My first real boyfriend wasn't until I was 15. 

I had my first date when I was in 8th grade. I was 13. I told my parents and they didn't even care. My Mom took me to the movie theater the meet the boy (She knew his parents) and picked me up afterwards. I have always thought back to how I can't believe the way they trusted me with boys. They knew every boy before we dated and we were a very close family. My parents never told me not to have sex, I just knew I shouldn't. I didn't even lose my v-card til college. I feel like girls now dress/act like whores and want to give mine the same respect that my parents gave me but I am terrified! 

I have 2 girls and I'm gonna be in my ninja suit when they start dating!! Expect me to be in the back at a movie theater, spying! Lol 

It's scary to let them out on a date at any age but I would think anything under 15 should be group dates or mom/dad chauffer them to and from. I have a son that's 8 y/o and the way some of the girls in school are now a days is down right scandelous! 

is down right scandelous!

We went to the sunset market and i heard nothing but girls hi Tiante, hi Tiante..is that your mom?? no lie atleast 6 girls were giggling and saying hi to him. They could have been there with thier parents, but I didnt see any. 

Hahaha BadMomma....I consider 13 acceptable to go to the movies with another. However, I would be in the car waiting (drive them there and bring them home). I know many people will say no way, too young. But it's the movies. I don't like sneaking around. I never did it to my parents because they gave their permission for things like that. 

45. That's my final answer, lol.

LMAO......lovely, I always enjoy spitting out perfectly good soda!!

i so glad we dont have girls, i would be the worse momma of a girl - i would be the momma breaking into her journal, sad but true

i think im going to tell him yes he can go but im going to drop them off, watch them go into the movies and be there when they finish - i dont know if i will watch the movie as well, hubbys suggestion is send his brother in to watch and take notes *roll eyes*, knowing B he would film them for dad

and another thing, we raise our boys to be gentlemen so my instant thought is he pays for her but she asked him out so how does that work - ugghh, i need a handbook 

I have a son that's 8 y/o and the way some of the girls in school are now a days is down right scandelous!

Here's the thing about this: I have 3 girls 13,8,6 and honestly I don't think they would act like that, but if they did I would hope and pray that the mother of the boy would inform me. How am I suppose to know how she acts at school or at a friends house with the brother's friend, ya know? I realize people are scared to death to talk to another parent about what their child has done, but please let me know.

ETA: I can't correct what I don't know about. 

curiosity got me and im looking at my 14 nephews FB page

there are lots of photos from 13-14yr girls in skinny tank tops and shorts showing a lot of flesh and posts like "confession; i like you a lot, and you good looking and nice. i wish you would notice me (:"

my 14yr nephews response: "You going footy tomoz?"

what does this mean, see you tomorrow to make out or im really interested in watching football ??? 

honestly I don't think they would act like that, but if they did I would hope and pray that the mother of the boy would inform me. How am I suppose to know how she acts at school or at a friends house with the brother's friend, ya know? I

i think similar about my boys - i know we raise them to be gentlemen but uggh, life is complicated and peer pressure and horemones what if they are acting in a way that we wouldnt be happy about 

I was just talking to my friend the other day, and her two little sisters, ages 13 and 14 are already on birth control. I was shocked. At that age I wasn't even thinking about having sex. 

LIMITS! My oldest is 13 and just now got her own phone at Christmas. But it doesn't text nor receive them. She also does not have a FB page.

Whats that saying "All in good time my child"...isn't that from some Disney movie?? lol

I honestly never know what to say when I read/hear something like this. Mainly I think "how sad" that our society has changed so much that it's acceptable and sometimes the norm for 14 year old girls to be on BC. 

and her two little sisters, ages 13 and 14 are already on birth control

i think thats really sad 

Kids these days are nasty...My sister (shes 13) has told me that some of her friends talk to her about sex they have. I'm like geez!! Earmuffs girlfriend. But my first date I was 12...it was with my neighbor, my parents said we could go on a double date. So my parents and my date and I went and ate dinner then my parents dropped us off at a movie and then picked us up! I was glad my parents came cause I was nervous. I was so scarred I barly talked to my date the whole entire night.

It is really sad, considering their home life isn't the best. My friend got pregnant at 17 with her first. 

My sister (shes 13) has told me that some of her friends talk to her about sex they have. I'm like geez!! Earmuffs girlfriend

if this was me i would encourage her to talk to me and on a equal level let her know her options and how she doesnt have to be like her friends

you are very lucky she is talking to you, dont turn her away because it makes you uncomfortable

Oh I know, I love her so much. She comes to me with everything. We have another sister who kinda hurt us all, but in that process me and the baby sister came together 

My daughter is only 9 but I don't think I would be okay with her on a date alone at 11. I don't even think I would be okay with a group "date" with other kids since when I was a teen I was just as bad in a group as I was alone with my boyfriend. I would likely allow her to go to a movie but sit a row or two behind. I know, I am lame. lol.

Eta: It's not that I think my daughter would have sex or something I just feel 11 is too young to really date. It's one thing to have a title of a girlfriend but another to actually be one. 

well im prego with my 1st child so take this as u please... at 12 i was innocent but not to long after i wasnt as innocent && im not saying i was putting out im just saying i wasnt as pure! so i think personally at 12 it should still be a group of them going and not a 1 on 1 thing quite yet! good luck
