[Cynthia32]

pmsl, wouldn't you rather she liked boys than girls?

[windygalestoday]

omg my 14 year old baby is a boy i tell him .....stay away from girls they are bad news

[Quattrocento]

Did you like boys when you were 14? I bet you did ...

What were you doing when you were 14?

[windygalestoday]

also to stay away from the boys too

[Psychomum5]

oh no, I am glad she likes boys.....()....tis just too early.

she is not allowed to notice them yet

or ever

not sure when at all in fact

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

Like mother like daughter

[Psychomum5]

precisely what I was doing at 14 that I am so sure she needs to stay away!!!

[windygalestoday]

quattro i tell my son at 14 i was working every night after school and running a house of 4 people i had no time to indulge in boys

[Psychomum5]

I think I may need to burn my diary from when I was 14 now.......

[copingvquietly]

[Psychomum5]

I think I would rather my dd liked girls - I would know what I was dealing with then! Teenage boys are a closed book to me.

[Psychomum5]

I kind of know teen boys.....my girls were the first girls on my side for a long long time, plus I nannied twin boys, so in some ways, I do 'get' them....

but

they do scare me, and I had hoped that having younger brothers would show her how horrid boys were unitl they hit their 20's....

tis not to be
