At what age do you allow your teens to have a “bf” or “gf”? Just like a school thing and maybe talk on the phone?

I started dating my husband when I was 14 🤷🏻‍♀️ we’ll have been together 9 years in January. No unwanted pregnancies and graduated with 3.9gpa. Dating doesn’t lead to bad choices. Bad parenting and lack of communication with your children leads to bad choices. 💁🏻‍♀️

@roses702, lol that’s me

I told my kids they are not allowed to date living with me lol

When my son turns 18..we dont believe in the whole dating thing so young once hes an adult and if he messes up? It's not on me lol..wish my parents would of done the same...lost my virginity at 16 and pregnant at 17..I refused for my kids to follow suit

But I think a good age to date is between 16 and 17 and 18

But I’m 19 now so that’s why I said I wish I waited

I was allowed to date at 14 and got pregnant at 14 and lost it but I wish I waited a little longer to be in a relationship like maybe 17 or so but now I’m with a guy that has been there longer than anyone has

I was allowed to date when I was 14 but I didn’t really until I was 16 that’s when I got into a serious relationship with my now husband

@raisingaleyaandethan, lol that’s so funny I’m gona tell my husband to tell our daughters bf that when she’s older. Haha and I say 16 is a good age to date!

I started dating my dh at 15. My dad always said whatever he does to me my dad is going to do to him😂. With our kids, I would prefer them to be at least 16. I tell me dd she can’t kiss a boy until she’s 18 though. So far I’m sticking with that until she is older

@spookylyn, yupp so true I was a young mama and I don’t want my boys to go thru what I did.

@mayelinne, lol yea they don’t kiss either so it’s not like a real bf and gf I read their messages and it was nothing bad lol

@mrschanandlerbong95, I’m not worried about bad choices. I’m a very involved mother. I just feel he needs to focus on school this young. He has plenty of time to date. That’s amazing by the way!

@preciouslove, my 12 year old sisters Both recently told me they have boyfriends . I asked them so many questions about their “Boyfriends “ and I came to the conclusion that these are not their Boyfriends but More of a Crush. They don’t kiss. They just say cute stuff to eachother and get that butterflies in your tummy feeling when they see eachother. So maybe Your son just has a Crush who likes him back? Or maybe I’m wrong. Boys Move quicker than girls, I know my son is gonna be a ladies man... I’m gonna lock my daughter up if I ever have a Girl lol

@briannalynn547, yea I agree I’m gona be very observant lol

@spookylyn, I completely agree! I talk openly with both my boys about those things!

@rese, lol that’s what I tell my kids😂

When I was 15 I had like a real relationship. It lasted 3 years , and my family was super observant . He slept over on occasion cause we lived in different towns (we met cause I was a cheer leader and he played football for an opposing team ) but he never slept in my room . But when it comes to my son, I think I’ll still need to be more observant lol. Not that I had sec or anything but I just feel like I shouldnt have “been in love “ with someone so young like I was

I was never allowed to have a bf. Even through my young adult years, they were called my "friend"

It's like my parents refuse the term and to acknowledge it 😂

@preciouslove, 😂😂 I’m going to be the same way!

@mommy_x3, lol same here I’m gona run them all off

@mayelinne, I agree my son is 13 and told me yesterday he has a gf at school and I was like umm no ur way to young you need to be focused on school.

@preciouslove, lol right! If it was up to me they wouldn’t have bf or gf 😂

I was allowed to have a boyfriend at 18. My father scared all my crushes away. But I think Any age under 15 is not the age to have a bf/gf - this is why we have so many Children getting pregnant. These little girls need to take their heads out the gutter and grab a Book.

@beakymcspence, wow that’s good! I was 16 when I had my oldest:/

@mommy_x3, never is how I feel love! Lol seriously I’m like ur to young sorry. And ok:) text me whenever 🤗

@valerie_jean, lol same but I don’t want my boys to have gfs ever! Lol jk

I was 17 and in grade 12

I was thinking about you last night and was going to text you but it was kind of late lol I’ll text you today sometime 😊

NEVER!!! Lol jk maybe like 14 🤔

I was 13 when I was allowed to have a “boyfriend” but it was just talking on the phone and seeing each other at school lol
