should be when she starts going to the movies with her boyfriend alone? I ask because I have a 13 yr. old daughter who is asking if her and her boyfriend can go to the movies without me and my husband. I say I want to go with them for a while to observe them together and to get to know this boy.. She isn't pushing the issue and she's being really mature about asking me. But I just want some opinions from others on what an acceptable age would be. My parents let me go to my boyfriends house at that age, but I ended up getting pregnant at 16 maybe that's where my fear comes from.

Cola, I think that's great that your daughter is career minded.. I don't think she is a weirdo at all.. And my daughter is very physically attractive also, She's 13 but she's already developing a womens body and has a beautiful face. Boys write her notes all the time.. Thanks for the advice I appricate it.

I would say fifteen. I am fifteen years old myself and I feel that I am at a point in my life where I can make rational decisions that will benefit me. Although, it depends from person to person.

So don't make the same mistake that your parents did, because 13 is way to early no matter what people say, your daughter is still a child and may be very influenced by other friends (bad or good). You know that peers play very important part in child's live and it is even more important to know what friends she is surrounded by. Even though she showed the maturity of asking you, anyway it does not show the maturity and knowledge in other aspects that she might face. So it is up to you to let her go alone, but don't wonder why at 16 she will ask "Mom is it ok to spend a weekends all alone in my boyfriend's house?, we won't do anything bad there" And later on "Mom, I'm pregnant" (no offences)

Just them alone without a parent I would say 15. I don't plan on letting my daughter date till she's 16. Now if there was a bunch of kids her age going to the moves male and female I might would let her go at 13 during the early show. But not alone with a guy.
:D

Well 13 isn't a good age to even have a boyfriend. But since she has one, you should watch really close your daughter's relationship. Nowadays, kids are wanting to grow up much faster than they should, and that isn't always good. She will probably think that you're a bad mother and this and that by not letting her go to the movies alone with her boyfriend, but I recomend not to let her if you want to avoid unconfortable situations for her. My opinion is that girls should be a little bit more mature. I would think 15 is a good age. Good luck.

I understand your fear......But really.....I guess going to the movies is harmless enough....so long as it's just the movies and not going on to anywhere else...after all she is just 13. If they want afters like a bite and a drink, can't they come home to you for that...surely that will be alright with you to do that.....besides its hardly likely they are going to "parking" as the boy doesn't have a car or motorbike does he....so yeah...chill out...say yes but they must come home directly or thereabouts after the movie and have afters at your house.....they can still talk to each other and interact ok...so there should be no problems with that from these 13 year olds point of view.....should there ??

I would prefer to see my daughter go in a group with friends at that age...never alone with a boy until at least 15 or 16...but even then its cutting it pretty close...cell phone a must...and meet the boys parents and make sure every ones on the same level...i know all my kids friends and their parents too...its a must nowadays...they say i embarrass them but they get over it when they see how us parents all get along...its hard watching the kids grow up and making the tough decisions...

You're right for being cautious. You're a good mum. Kids these days are having sex earlier and earlier. As you know first hand. I'm not a dad yet. So I can't really answer your question but I do know what was on my mind when I was a 13 year old kid. I also know my daughter wouldn't be going out alone at 13. But I'm a worrier.

Wow 13 and have a bf your a cool mom i had to wait until i was at least 16. You shouldn't allow your daughter to go any where alone with him she is only 13 wait a couple of more years then allow her to do such things like that, she's lucky that you allow her to have a boyfriend but there are just certain things she should not be allowed to do at her age
