My daughter is 13 and she bonds better friendships with boys than with girls. I have no problem with that. She is especialy close to one boy who is 11 (yes, she's getting teased at school about that and doesn't care). Now she wants us to approve her having him as a boyfriend. We have a 'no boyfriend' rule so I asked her for their definition of a boyfriend. She said that they would just hang out together and talk. So I'm okay with that and set some boundaries - no physical contact beyond the normal with any of her friends, grades cannot got any lower (already struggling), she is not to ignore her other friends, no boys in the house (they can hang out in the yard). I accepted her definition and she agreed to the boundaries and I told her that this really means that they are friends - no more and no less. The boy totally accepts this however, my daughter is still acting all depressed about it. Furthermore, she didn't want me to tell my husband about it and the boy said that he couldn't...
