omg, omg, O M G! dd just asked my opinion......

[MaureenMLove]

on boyfriends!

She's just started yr7 and turning 12 next week. So she says 'mummy?, what would you say if I told you a boy at school asked me out?'

So I said, 'well, I don't know really, (my baby!) Do you like him? Do you want to go out with him? (Panic, panic, panic!) She's not sure, just wanted my opinion she says. I'm thinking 'don't touch my baby, she's only 12!!!!'

She's only 12, right? Far too young to be thinking about boys, right?

Help, oh god, I'd give anything to be moaning about the terrible twos again!

i have a ds just gone into year 7 of big boy school (his names not Connor!!) bf-gf at primary school was in name alone, its scary when they actually want to see each other outside of school

[Lostmykeys]

Have just started teahing Year 7 for the first time - can't believe how much they talk about who 'fancies' who. Also surprised to see girls with highlighted hair. They are very vain, questioning me why they can't wear makeup. Want to wrap DD (3.6) in cotton wool.

lmk - i suppose thats it then education out the window from now on, just hair gel and spots!!

12 yr old girls are hunters
my yr7 son was pursued vigorously by several girls until he relented and went out with one of them...
he left them all after a few weeks calling them a nest of vipers
and we thought MN had coined that phrase!

[MaureenMLove]

Piffle! My dd ain't no hunter! I think the fact that she asked me what I though, was a good start and I also think the fact that I didn't scream NO WAY! helped too!

Piffle

That is what we thought that the girls are far more mature or pushy than the boys in year 7

I agree though that the year 6 BF/GF stuff was very innocent and "sweet"

[RTKangaMummy]

I don't mean all the girls are pushy

I meant that the girls round here are more mature than the boys

[Kbear]

Yo Mo, you been dancin'?

[MaureenMLove]

Sure have! I'm a bit hurty!

[MaureenMLove]

So true RTK, the girls are much more mature. There's a very fine line between mature and pure tartiness too! My dd is NOT the latter!

[Kbear]

Your hips don't lie mate!

[Kbear]

get yer arse on MSN please, let's talk in bubbles !! PSML

[RTKangaMummy]

I hope he is a lovely boy

[MaureenMLove]

I've already got Mumsnet bum cheek (as expertly diagnosed by you), sore thighs from playing ladders with the Guides last night and a blister from wearing trainers for the first time since about April. I may need to up the Codliver oil doses!

[Kbear]

Mumsnet bum cheek is a hazard I must admit!

[MaureenMLove]

I can't get on! I need dd to show me how. I need to put a password in and its her account. Its probably CONNOR!

[Kbear]

doesn't it just start from START menu?

[MaureenMLove]

You should have seen my face, when she said Connor! The colour drained from my face and I went all hot, whilst the cogs turned and I realised he must be near 21!

[Kbear]

I think he is about 17 and the other one is maybe 21. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
