My twelve year old daughter recently started going out with a boy in year ten (shes only in year seven)hes fouteen and next august due to turn fifteen.
I have four children and i wasn't aware of the fact my daughter was in a relationship with someone until my fourteen year old son told me in passing he didn't like his little sister dating a guy the same as as him.
I'm slightly worried abput her, he seems nice although i've only met him once and i'm pretty sure he won't hurt her, but seeing him in comparison to her she loks tiny.
My daughter jess has three older brothers and well i know shes safe with them protecting her but would it be unreasonable to tell her she couldn't see him anymore. Hmm

I have a 12yr old DS...

He is home every day by 4pm if he doesn't have basketball - if he does he is in by 5.30. that is him in for the night.

He is NOT allowed a girlfriend - far too young imho.

He has strict boundaries (and we are getting on better for it)

Actually I made him aware in no uncertain terms that he is not to even consider having a girlfriend before he sits his GCSE's - big mistake as he is sitting some of them next year!!!

On the other side when I was 11 I had a boyfriend who was my older cousins friend. He was 15....when I was 12 and in what is now yr8 I was heartbroken when he left school and went to college.

we are still friends now.

When I was 13 I had a boyfriend who was 16
at 14 my b'f was 18, i dumped him

at 15 for my new b'f who was 15 we went out for a yr until he cheated on me with someone who would have sex with him....the older boys had respected my wishes.

I lost my virginity at 16 to a 21 yr old who I stayed with for 5yrs.

anyway I digress....

I would talk to your DD I would also set some clear boundaries and curfews for her....she NEEDS and WANTS you to!
