Re: Should I let my 15yr old Daughter date an 18yr old?? | | This is such a hard issue, because it really depends on the individuals themselves. I met my soon to be husband when I was 13 he was 17. Now we didn't become "girlfriend" "boyfriend" untill I was 14 and he was 18. We had our ups and downs and we had the people in our (mostly mine) life that didn't want us together (fear of I would get hurt, well i'll be honest he has hurt me and I have hurt him - we can't stop that at any age). But you know no matter what they did or said to keep me from him I found a way to see him. Now here we are I'm 25 he's 29 and I'm due with our 3 child in Aug, we own our home and were getting married in Feb 2009. Do we have our ups and downs? I think everyone in a relationship can answer that question, of course we always did and you know what we always will, but our relationships at any age make us who we are and though your daughter may be young if she is mature enough to handle a relationship (with any age boy)she should experience it (yes you'll have to be nosie parent and sometimes the person she hates) But lets all be honest a relationship at any age is hard! We all get hurt sometime and that is life. |
