Childrens first dates

[Shadow]

Gawd-now I can appreciate all my parents concerns and worry altho at the time they just seemed an irritating intrusion into my private life

My daughters got a boyfriend and its cringeworthy watching me and Mr Shads trying to do the right thing

Trying to get a glimpse without staring,the fine line between allowing freedom then panicking cos shes three minutes late

To phone or not to phone-I do-she knows Im a tad protective-but gawd its a bloody minefield

This is just the start of it Shadow ;D ;D
When my eldest brought her first boyfriend home, he had about 20 questions to answer, mind you he did'nt last very long ;D which was just as well cause I did'nt like him very much

[Shadow]

She hasnt got as far as letting us meet him yet

He hovered around outside for a few minutes whilst she was preening then off they went

[Roma]

Bit different from our day's our Dad made them come to the door for us ;D

it's when they hit 18 and start going clubbing that's when you start pulling you hair out with worry, and the your not going out dressed like that starts.

Hi Mrs shads, may I ask the age of the afore mentioned Daughter? I aask because I have 2 girls and 1 boy (now all in their 40,s) when my eldest was about 15 I used to say to her that no mattere how much she tried she would not be the death of me because I was going to live to see how she handled a 15 year old demon when the tiime came. now she has a 13 year old girl and she is just wonderful. no problems. open to talk to. it just makes you want to spit! she should suffer as we did.
All I can say it' try to survive it' there is no cure other than time, and later you sit back and just shuder at what you went through
Best Regards, Geordie.

Shes 15 geordie

And I have to laugh because Ive said the exact same thing to her

Not an easy age by a long chalk-and I say that remembering myself at 15

Geordie, having met Shadows family, they're a great bunch....her daughter is going to have a lot of lads after her....lets hope she ends up with the right one in the end.

[Shadow]

Hes getting her home on time so far so its a step in the right direction

I hope

I think you'll fine I am perfectly capable of getting home on time all by myself.
He's not as educated as I am which is a disappointment, Shadow I would like to remind you that a relationship and a disability are not synonymous - thank you

[Shadow]

Yes I did put that badly have to admit

Im sure you are capable of getting yourself home-I have been suitably chastised

Lol-I should have known better-my god I used to consider myself a Feminist for gawds sake

Mind alot of stuff went out the window when I became a parent-find meself saying the same old stuff my parents said to me and at the time I vowed I'd never say it to my kids-funny how you change
