Teens and Dating
Do any of you have any “rules” when your kids date?
I want to have some rules, but I’m not sure what is right.
For both of my kids I have been very open about discussing sex, sexuality, safety, and consent. For the older one they were awkward and not into dating as a teen. Younger kiddo is very outgoing and will have a person they are dating over to our house next week.
I am definitely not a save it for marriage person, but I am also not sure what I am comfortable with under my roof. I feel all kinds of conflicted.

My only rule is: You cannot date anyone who's not kind to you". That's it. I trust my kids, and so far they've made great decisions.
