why does parents never alow they child to have boyfriends when they are old enough?

Question

just want to know

Answer 1

Depends on what the child considers old enough versus old enough to the parent. I wasnt able to go out on a date with a guy til I was 16.

Answer 2

Not everyone who is old enough is mature enough. There are many 18 year olds that act like 12 year olds. Parents are this way because they feel their kids are not mature enough to have boyfriends. When I was 18, I blamed my parents that they didn't allow me to date. I thought that because I was 18, I knew everything, but I didn't. Now I am older, I looked back and realized who I was. I realized that they were strict. They were only trying to give me time to grow up and mature to be who I am suppose to be.

like i've told many young ladies, it's not that parents don't trust their children it's that we don't trust anyone else with our children. also, it all depends on how a child behaves overall. if we can trust them to go out and be home a few minutes early, or to do their chores and school work without a fight or even asking, if we know that there are at when they say they are there, if we know their friends and their friends parents. it doesn't matter how old you are, it all depends on your personality, your parents personality, your over all relationship, and your behavior, because you always be mommy's baby. i'm 19, married, have a step-daughter, pregnant now, work, cook, clean, do laundry, help the family out, pay my half of the bills, and i STILL am ot allowd to say bad words in front of my mom, i still have to speak properly to her (no slang), i still have to show up when and where she tells me to, and i have proven that i am a responsible woman now. but i'm always going to my mommy's little girl. it's just part of life i guess. you may think you're old enough, but when you're a parent just because you're child thinks their old enough doesn't mean we see you as ready. dating and etc are all PRIVLAGES when you are a minor and living with your parents. as much as this sucks, you have very few rights in life as a minor. everything except sleeping a decent amount (not 13 hours a day), eating, having appropriate clothes, and going to school and staying home, are you only rights. dating, cell phones, TV, comp, going out, all that stuff is a PRIVALIGE and can and will be taken away at the drop of a hat. so, i guess the point i really want to stress is that you THINK you are old enough, but through actions, and behaviors (past and present), as well as lack of aquiantance with other people, you parents may not feel that you are ready for some of the pressures that can accompany dating in todays society. be glad your parents car. and if you really want to date then try this. bring the guy over a few times and tell your parents that this is a new friend, let him hang out but be super proper. no flirting, tounching, cussing, use all manners known to man kind. do this for about a month, by this time you'll really know what the guy is like from simple conversations and be able to decide if he is worth dating. plus your parents will be familiar with him (don't hide from your parents when he's around, hang out all together and watch a movie, or invite him for dinner, or even have him come to church with you) and may allow simple dates like movies or dinner or group dates or thing like that. but by the end of the month, if you see he really isn't worth your time or figure out why your parents don't like him, then you may reconsider dating him in general! this way you don't waste your time and there's less chance of wasting sex or having him start rumors about you, cause you can back everything up with "well ask my parents, they were there the whole time when we were hanging out watching a movie in my living room..." ok? good luck sweetie!

Answer 4

Bad Grammar. I think if you were speaking English this would be what you said " Why do parents never allow their child to have boyfriends when they are old enough?"

It is because they still think of them as a child.

Answer 5

You're not old enough. Dating requires a sense of maturity and intellect. You need to be in school and focusing on your studies, especially English. Your grammar is deploreable. Parents want what is best for their children, and they know what they are talking about. So listen to them and respect them.

Discover how to get your ex back with simple text message: http://getyourexback.checkhere.info

Many girls break up with their significant others, is because they need time to figure things out. Don't take it personally, if you want her back, you have to show her you can help her. If you love her then you'll let her go, that's it. Not everybody who you date in high school you end up staying with, the chances are extremely unlikely. So if she doesn't want to, then you need to let her go.

Answer 7

maybe said parents think that since their child cannot even write a decent sentence, they are not mature enough to have a relationship.

Answer 8

we parents know whats best for our kids. i will allow my son to date girls his age at 16 as long as he has good grades and a part time job

dating isn't a right its a privilege

Answer 9

My parents reasoning was that boys take your mind off of your schoolwork. And that many boys try to pressure girls into something that their not ready to do and when girls are younger they are less likely to stick to their guns and say no.

Answer 10

he said it would make me a better Man
