If we get back to not letting them date or be unsupervised with boys until they are 16 then the numbers should go even higher. Kind of a parent pledge too. Today..what is there to look forward to at 16...a boyfriend...got one already...dating...been doing that since I was 12...getting married and having children...already got a couple and didn’t even need a husband.
Ever heard the phrase “dating is practice for divorce”?
..and it's up to the parent/parents...
We didn't allow our daughter to date till 16
..we didn't allow R rated movies...(we took cable out of the home)
..we expected high standards and she met them...
..so did our son.
Sure... the world was all around them... but the home was sacrosanct....a place to unwind, be kids and bring their friends over.
