Relationships at 15 years old

[Ladyof]

My dd age 15 has been with her new bf for 2 months now. I feel like she is seeing him too often and they are becoming obsessed with each other and nothing else.

They would see each other every night and all weekend if they could, to be honest they have been together 4 out of 5 nights this week.

At 15 should I be limiting it, what would you do, she is 16 in a couple of months. How often is acceptable.

I've told her tonight I think it is too often but it doesn't help that she doesn't have any friends outside of school, she isn't keen on the school friends so she has nothing to do with them outside of school. And obviously seeing your bf is more exciting than hanging out with family so she doesn't want to see me that much.

Any ideas appreciated.

I have this situation and have told my daughter that she must keep up some outside interests other than her boyfriend but it’s difficult. They see each other 4 nights a week and don’t do much besides watch Netflix and homework, but I think they have to find out themselves the problems with letting other areas of your life become neglected. With my daughter I can only say my piece and let her get on with it. Cant put an old head on young shoulders..

Yes I'm stuck between thinking to let her work it out herself and then the other part of me thinks I need to limit it.

Do they see each other a lot at weekend too?

yes most of weekend. I said she was seeing him too much and Imget the feeling his mum felt the same. plus if they are not together they are often on phone together. However, she is doing all her school work and doing a couple of clubs in the evening so we are letting it go at the moment. She has had a tough year and he is kind and calm and in some ways it has been preferable to the worry of her being out.

But i often think with teenagers you can counsel them and give them advice over a cup of coffee but they then go their own way anyway!
