DS has started going out with his first girlfriend. He's only just turned 16 and in Year 11. She's just finishing her first year at Uni. The thing is I'm a bit worried about it all. It's not in a PFB way. I've been quite prepared for him to get a girlfriend for a while.
It's just it seems a bit weird to me that a very likeable, pretty Undergraduate would want to go out with a kid who hasn't even finished taking his GCSEs. He's very mature for his age in a lot of ways, but definitely not in relationships and I worry that he's a bit vulnerable.
Also, I feel a bit of a hypocrite as there is the same age difference between DH and I, but he was 19 when we met, so that seems more ok.
Anyway, I just wondered what your thoughts would be. Am I just overthinking this? It could all blow over by next week, although, under the circumstances, that's probably not the best term I could use!!
