Re: When to say yes?

DS12 asked me to help him convince a girl's mom that they should be "allowed" to date..

I had a real heart-to-heart w/ him. He has such a full life.. He is 12yrs old and is carrying 9th grade AP courses. He is involved w/clubs. He has his dad eow and one midweek dinner; therapy, rel.ed., etc.. We don't fit it all in now. How are we going to handle him being in dreamland over a girl??

I told him my misgivings. And said that I would rather he not like girls yet...

He point out that it is too late to re-write that page of history... And he was right...

I did befriend the girl's mom. We have all become very close. They are cute together.. They are learning about the other gender. They sit and talk together. They ride bikes. We have dinner over at each other's houses...

When I was in junior high, we hung out as a group. But most of DS12's friends are still at the pulling the girl's ponytails to show that they like them stage and the girls are at the giggly stage. So, while they both have a large group of friends, none of the others are ready for co-ed..

Overall, the last 6mths has been fine. There are "rules". They are chaperoned by their 10yr brothers.

I still wish he had stayed my little boy a little longer but it wasn't up to me. They would have hung out together whether I approved or not..
