Daughter's

My daughter has her first boyfriend. She is so excited about it and scared. I keep assuring her that it is normal. But here is the catch she is only 10 going to be 11 next month. They want to go to the movies this weekend and I gave her permission to go. She is happy about that. This boy is a good boy and they have alot in common. The only difference between them is that his grandparent's are raising him and not his parent's. I do not know the story about that yet, but I am glad he has people that love him. They are going to see that new Alice in wonderland movie I guess. The other thing that surprised me is he is paying for everything when they go! I do not know what is going to happend from here, but I hope she is ready if the worst happens. I gotta prepare myself for all those emotions. As a mom I have mixed feelings, but I am happy for her. She really likes this boy and I will be there for her and support her, but yet put out those guidelines of do's and don'ts. I wonder if anyone has experienced this before as themselves or with there own kids. I know that I had childhood boyfriend's. But you know I think as long as this is supervised they will be okay. Any comments that could help me out or just something that can help her would be nice. By the way my husband does know what to think about all this. I think he is realizing that she is growing up in a lot of ways. I think he'll be ok though. I hope.

  1. I have quite awhile to go, but I am not looking forward to my daughter dating. It sounds like his grandparents have done a wonderful job so far with raising this boy. I hope he is a good one for her, but I can reassure you that there will be many many more of these relationships. So don't hold your breath and just go with the flow. No matter what we have to be there for our daughters to go on that emotional roller coaster. I don't know about you but I have been on the roller coaster myself for so long. I hope that things work out for the best for you and your daughter. Good luck!
