oh, it's starting...

I get home from Wal-Mart last night, check my Facebook and this is the message waiting for me:

"Mrs. Daly, I asked Alex to be my girlfriend, and I wanted to make sure it was ok with you."

Too cute :) Alex has been friends with this boy for years, since about kindergarten. They email, chat, hang out... So my question to you is, how young is too young to "date?" That's what she told me, that her & Kevin were "dating."

I have no problem dropping her off at the skating rink to meet him there, or going to a movie. What do you think? Am I being too lenient? She's liked other boys before, but this is the "first" boyfriend. You know, now they're in Middle School... they're so "grown up" (or so they think).

Update: as of 6:30 tonight, she's already broken up with this poor boy. Yesterday they were in love, today it's no more. I don't know if I can handle the pre-teen hormone roller coaster, what will I do in the teenage years?!

we're just starting all of this too. freshman year is worse...they throw the "love" word around too easily, & then are SOOO tormented when it doesn't work out. around here they call it "going out," yet they go NO WHERE...

Well, I still have some reminders of our middle school love lives, stuff from you about your love of Brad Kriesh (was that his name?) my love of Jake Selk. Barry Manilow record nights eating cookie dough.... we've been there and did it all, so remind her that you were once just like that!

I'm pretty sure that my "love life" began in Middle school. 6th grade to be exact.

I don't think you are being too lenient at all.

And Anonymous up there? He's getting them ready for some pre-teen sex. I'd watch out for his ass-vice. Obviously not a parent.
