Parenting the Dating Teenager
The boy has a new girlfriend. I long to exploit the underlying story here respect his privacy so I’ll only tell you this:
We haven’t met her yet and had some questions. ”She’s tall. She has brown hair.” He thought a minute about all the things he didn’t want to tell us, “She plays the French horn.”
“OMG,” (although I said it all — I don’t go around speaking text-message) I said, “You’re dating your MOTHER.”
Yep. That oughta take care of THAT.

When you meet the girlfriend (or boyfriend) simply saying how much you like them seems to encourage a breakup. Likewise the opposite. Want them to stay together? Tell the kiddo how wrong they are together. Works everytime. Of course, both options come with their own sets of complications… Or, we can just be honest and hope for the best. Tough call…
