Teenage Dating Situation.....?

Question

Just a little "fun" question. Our children are still toddlers, but the hubby and I got on the subject of dating last night. He commented about how if a guy ever pulls into our driveway and honks his horn to pick up our daughter, you better believe we'll be out there to tell him that he can leave and never come back. lol I wondered if that had every happened to anyone and/or what they'd do in that situation. Needless to say, if you want to date my daughter, the least you can do is come to the door and pick her up. Never, ever ever honk your horn. I don't care how big of a hurry you're in. lol What do you think?

Answer 1

Well, I agree on that is its the first couple of dates, but if this is a long term boyfriend for your daughter (remember, 3 months in highschool is considered long term) and he did the whole honk thing, I wouldnt mind so much, as long as it wasnt all the time. Kids are busy, there always running late, let em honk his horn! lol

Answer 2

LOL...I totall agree with you and your husband. I am pregnant with my first baby and she is a girl..obviously. But we (me and bf) also was talking about that...what age does she get to date..etc. We came up with 16 and can go out with his parents or us when we go out, but 17 to go out on regular dates with a curfew. And deff have to meet him a couple times and his parents before any of this happens. Yeah if a guy wants to date my daughter then he better come to the door or something is wrong with him or the situation. Plus I love the song ''still cleanin this gun'' its perfect. ''She's her daddys girl, her mommas world and she deserves respect and thats what she'll get.'' So yeah that will stick with me when it comes time to answer that door.

Answer 3

i agree - its about common courtesy. walking to the door to pick someone up - its pretty simple. yep i completely agree with your decision

Answer 4

I Couldn't agree more...who wants someone too Lazy and Disrespectful to even make the effort to come to the door to pick up your daughter,Dating Her?  NOT ME!  I have 2 daughters..one is 17 (18 in December) and has been dating for 2 years..the Boys she dates have too much Respect for her to drive up and Honk...Glenna, you and Hubby have the Right Idea...NEVER let ANYONE DISRESPECT your daughter...Nor your Sons for that Matter!

Answer 5

i think your right on, if the guy was a good one, and rescpected your daughter...hed respect her family too...and he should, in fact, come to the door and introduce himself. dont ever stop your daughter from dating..just let her make her own mistakes, and try to help her into the right path. my parents had it a little rough, i started dating when i was 15...and that was with one of our schools bus drivers. he wasnt a perv, and we never messed around. we just liked each other was all. but that only lasted a month...my dad threatened his life, his job, his everything. but later my parents understood...and after going through that...we're alot closer and they know that im more responsible with choosing who i date, and that i dont just give into a cute face, or cheezy lines. but hey! im only 19 right? haha. but when your kids get old enough to date, just help em through it ya know?

Answer 6

i agree. i had my dad do the same thing to me. needless to say my boyfriend always walked to the door and walked me back to the door. it is respect

Answer 7

Wow, I didn't think it was that big of a deal. I'm glad my child won't be embarrased by me ever doing that.

Answer 8

i completely agree- its the respectful thing to do.
