Yea i know what you mean, they are growing up earlier, and quicker these days. One thing my husband always told our sons, is that every girl you know or go out with is some body's sister and daughter, and with them having a younger sister which whom they were very protective . My daughter wasn't calling any boys at age 11, that i don't get either, some parents just don't care, or think that it won't lead to something else. If his guy friends are calling I wouldn't be to concerned, and you don;t want to let his friends know abut all his limitations, caused you don't want him labled a mama's boy, kids can be cruel. ntil he does something to break your trust, give him a little rope, the pizza thing was good, my sons were christians at 13 so their hangingnout and things like that were with the Teen ministry and the teen ministry leaders, they are now 24 and 21, my 24 year old is married, and had a pure dsting relationship with is now wife before they were married, and my daughter in law went to the alter a virgin at 21. My husband didn't let our daughter date while in school, he wanted her to focus on her education, but she was envoled with the winter/color guard from 7th all the way through her senior year and guard and the band always did group things, movies, starbucks, party's, she was the captain of her wintwer/guard team her senior year,they went and competed in Vegas, we chaparoned, shes had a full life and at 19 on her dads 52 birthday she thanked him for his pertection and his heart to ant to spare her broken hearts and teen drama. she is in college living at home, working part time, and one of my best friends, we I have always been a stay at home mom, so i have always know what was going on in my kis lives they were very open and honest with us. my 21 year old son has been dating a girl since she was 15 and he was 19, her family adoes my son as we do her, they have had a pure dating relationship for almost 3 years now, it's how we raisw them S., there is something about trusting our kids, that makes them not want to let us down. Hope to talk to you again
