Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Kathryn, it's great to hear from you. I'm tickled that you are going to his graduation. Take lots of pictures. I can't believe he's graduating already. Danita, just wondering how your daughter meets people in Maryland? I don't know what to say about this gal coming. It definitely sounds awkward to me. Just being honest. Sometimes we have to make decisions for our kids. Especially when they are 16. Can you say no just based on the fact that you don't know her? Also, kudos for having your daughter sleep in your room while her beau was in town.

Danita Member Registered: 01/24/05 Posts: 1550 Loc: Colorado	Dotsie, We lived in MD for 10 years, and just recently relocated to CO. She has lots of friends in MD...she considers it home. I think you are right about just saying no. If I had an idea what this girls "spirit" was like...I might not be so hesitant. I think my intution is catching this "potential hazard" in advance. I have often been right about these things, much to the amazement of my daughter. Bre has a tender heart, and she trusts me. I don't think she will be thrilled with my decision, but will understand and submit. Thanks for letting me talk about this here. I was hesitant for fear of offending someone - but didn't know who else I could talk to about it! Thanks for your insight everyone! Danita

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Danita, my take on this situation is two fold. Number 1, Bre is 16 and 'too young' to be having sex with male or female. Number 2, I wouldn't care if this girl flew from the other side of the planet, you need to sit them both down and tell them the house rules, hours in and out and the NO sex rule. If she has a problem with that then, the planes fly both ways....You are the parent, you need to set the rules and if your daughter objects, tell her at 18 she can bed whomever or whatever she pleases if she has her own place...She will respect your rules in your home. Don't be afraid to stand up to your kids...

Danita Member Registered: 01/24/05 Posts: 1550 Loc: Colorado	Chatty, I'm with you on point #1! My daughter and I have had this discussion. I still don't think that the young lady will be coming to my home - I'm just not up for it! Thanks for the input! Danita

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	DAnita, congratulations for potentially saving your child from a situation she may not have really wanted in the first place. There have been times when my kids have asked to do things that I think are beyond them. They have even pressed the issue and I still said no. In the end I think they were relieved.

Sunshine Member Registered: 09/02/04 Posts: 12 Loc: Yucaipa, California	Not sure I qualify in this department since I am a "newly wed" (Since December, 2004) after being single over 20 years but... Tom and I always kiss and tell each other we love the other before leaving the house for work, etc. We both love the outdoors and garden together. We "run away" from the grandkids (15 total)for a weekend getaway. We do alot of communicating Am planning on this marriage to last until I meet my Maker.
