My daughter is now dating

[Icequeen]

Edit: You know what is worse? She picks me and not her mum to open up to about all of this? Bloody Hell! I am not female. I have no idea abou this kind of thing and all I know is that teenage boys are horrible bloody things. I used to be one myself. Ah well...

What would her mother know about teenage boys, better turn to the one who has been one himself.

No but I do not know about being a female teenager and how that feels and what they go through.

  It can be a wonderful time, having crushes and dreams. 

It sucked. End of story.

  Not for me, I was celibate.

  That's how I like to spin it too.

When the break-up comes just tell her that sometimes you've got to kiss a lot of toads before you get to the frogs.

My daughter and her boyfriend have now dated for close to eleven months, or so I'm told. I don't know what to fear the most, that they'll break up or that they'll marry.

The lovebirds took the car to shop, earlier, and I felt *really* old. I could practically hear the wedding bells.

  You're forcing me to create a smiley tableau here.

Breaking up sucks.

Marriage can be a break-up postponed.

Fear marriage. Everyone should fear marriage.

If you have a daughter with RL friends, you may find she turns to them more than to you, in case of things going sad or exiting.
There is no need for a parent to understand female teenagers. The only thing you can do is love them.

[odeon]

Well, I would like to understand my teenager, too.

Well, I would like to understand my teenager, too.

I would like understanding my teenagers, and in some things I do understand them, maybe even better than they understand themselves. In other things, it is the force of nature, them being beyond understanding. They are moving away from their parents, on their way to a life of their own.

It's a lonely thing now and then, both being and parenting a teenager.

What's the fella like?

What is getting to me, right now, is that it all seems to happen so quickly.

I know what you mean, I find it hard to adapt myself to the new situation and changed kids too.

She's practically an adult now. And a teenager, at the same time.
