is it appropriate to allow two kids go out on a supervised by adults date???

i dunno, didn't have such a thing when i was a kid.

Girl, my son is 13, and I take them, him and his "girlfriend" and his friends to the movies all the time. Now my daughter on the other hand, she will not go on ANY kind of date until she turns 25! She dont look 10, and she already has men whistling at her, and I shout back, YOU PERV, SHE IS A CHILD, It pisses me off sometimes...

my daughter is 12..and her boyfriend is twelve..
they are "in love" and miss eachother so much with school being out.
his mother has offered to take them out to the movies or the mall..

ok ask yourself this.....what is the purpose of a date???
to get to know someone....right!!!
ultimately to find that special someone to spend your life with.........
ummmmm 13????? oh yeah, better start apartment hunting too!!!

They'll be fine. Let her go.... Tell her to take her cell, and to call you if she needs too, and to have fun.

It may be that my daughter is 12 as well, but I would be uncomfortable with that. Of course, my first supervised date was at 14, so that's when I would want her to wait.

I will say that I see young teenagers (and younger) going out on dates to the movie theater every Friday night. It's scary to see how "made up" the girl's are. Make sure that when your daughter goes out with him, she's not dressed up like a hoochy mama.

I wasn't allowed to date until I was 16, not unless it was a group date. Lol my little sister is getting ready to turn 16 and I think my mom is freaking out a little...

Well....My parents wouldn't alow us out of the house until we were 16 and then it was to our girlfriends place & she HAD to go to Church on Sunday. I think you really need to know your child....I think it all comes down to TRUST. Does your son/daughter know proper behavior, can he/she be trusted, have you talked to them about dating & what's appropriate or not. Have you discussed sex and consequences. If they are asking to date---now is the time for "THE TALK". I did this with my brother (of course, we were in my car driving down the road---so he had no choice but listen....heehee!).

Group dates with lots of kids.....going to Darien Lake or things like that......Nothing dark and secluded! And I still believe that 16 is a good age. My son is 16 and has a girlfriend that is proud to be dating my son, because he's not pushing her toward sex. We, of course, have talked about respecting girls......Praise the Lord that has stuck with him! For now anyway.

Yikes. That is young. What is his mother thinking?

I agree with fourteen. My first date was actually right before I turned thirteen, but it was with his parents to dinner at a country club. Does it count as a date if his parents were with us, with us? My mom said it did, and made them promise not to leave us alone. We even had 'tea' at their house afterwards and then they all drove me home.

I was allowed to be at the mall by myself at 14, and we all know anything goes at that age nowadays. So I say 14 is a good age for group dating with a chaperone. I'd take indivudual alone dates on a case by case basis.

I didnt let her go...and it was a good/smart thing to do.
some crying involved...but twelve is too young.

You are "The Mom"

Awww, thanks, M. Michiganman.

You are quite the Dad.

let me make sure I understadn this correctly. You will allow your son to go on a supervised "date" to the movies, but not your daughter? Your son is 13, but you conveniently fail to mention your daughters age, just that she looks younger (to you) than ten.

there is one word for you and it is hypocrite. This is based off of what you typed. You should allow your daughter (assuming she is not too young) to have the same opportunities as you do your son.

Both are twelve years old? Theres going to be a parent present? Then by all means let them go. As long as the adult is present as a chaperone, and the kids understand the parent is to be around at all times, then there should be no problem.

if you are gona be there

and they are gonna be there

what dif does age make

heck they meet people all the time

as long as you can watch over them whats the harm

unless of course the parent does not want be nor is not one of the adults

hhhmmmmmmmmm

you think not going is gonna keep it from happening
(at least you will be some what informed)

Well mine 15 group

16 unsupervised but no parties...only dinner movie...
