A dreaded part in every parent’s life is when their children start dating. The questions start, and it quickly turns into an interrogation:
“Who is this girl you are going to pick up?”
“Where did you meet this boy?”
“Do you really think this will be a lasting relationship? Let’s just save your time, and don’t go.”
The hardest part of being a parent to dating teens is that we have to let our soon to be grown children make these decisions on their own. We have to hope that we have instilled good moral values, so that in those character defining moments (when we aren’t around), our children will make the right decisions. The good news is that when we can’t be there, we’ve always got the trusty Trunk Monkey to keep things in order on date night!
