Maybe supervised outings with mom till your more comfortable. Church is a good spot. More sinks in than you may think. But openly explain your feelings to your girls.
They are your children. You make the best decision you can for them. No matter what anyone else thinks, you are responsible for your children ! My kids can like whoever they want but can not go out until they are at least 16 !! My son was acting a fool and didnât get to date til he was 18 and had moved out ! Didnât care what others said, I held my ground on the fact that I was his parent and paying his bills ! Do what you need to do and stand your ground. I never tried to defend myself or discuss my parenting decisions to any of my family or friends!!
Tell MIL to keep her nose AND butt out of your childâs business. I could care less what someone thinks about how I raise my kids. And Iâd say that to MILâs face!
Of all people you have ask for advice from there is only one who knows the answer. You are the one in charge. Be ready for what you choose. Make no mistakes you only know the truth. Choose wisely and stick to it.
Stick to your guns. 16 with chaperone. Dnt worry about other peopleâs opinions. Theyâre your girls not theirs.
You have to do what YOU feel is right for the situation. You know her more than anybody else. Feel your gut. Donât listen to anybody else
Your the parent and itâs your rules. Stand your ground

- Snapchat is for sending porn. If she has snapchat she is sending pictures that disappear in 10 seconds. All the recipient has to do is take a screen shot to share it with the whole school.
- The person she is talking to in a platform may not be the boy from school, it could be a 30,40, or 50 year old who stole some pictures and built a fake account, this happens all day every day. It happened in my small town where a15 year old thought she was sending pics to a boy from school, a30 year old man showed up at her house and raped her when she said her parents werenât home. Tell her to verify who she is talking to in person.
- Girls unfortunately base their self worth on whether or not they have a boyfriend or if a boy finds them sexy. Get her involved in a sport or some other activity than sitting staring at a phone waiting for a boy (or man) to respond to her.
16 is still young!! Lol. I think youâre doing a perfect job!
Group dating til sheâs 16?
you canât be too careful especially these days!
go with your gut instinct.
My daughter is 14 yrs. Old and its no longer as it once was when many of us were kids. Human trafficking is rampant and Ct. Happens to be a hot spot. There is a new report that there is a new strain of Gonorrhea and Covid still isnât under control . I myself would not want to be a teen these days and my heart goes out to them . All you can do is to help them understand is that their actions could have life long consequences. Teens need to grow up and mature at a rampan
MIL needs to know her boundaries. If she were my daughter behaving herself making good grades I would let her go out but I would be dropping and picking up they wouldnât be going to his house. He could come over to ours and she would be on birth control. Most kids are going to have sex around that age so might as well protect her so she doesnât end up pregnant.
My kids know thereâs no dating until theyâre 18. Extreme? Donât care. Relationships take maturity and frankly I believe they need to stay focused on school. I donât ascribe to dating early. I think it opens up too many opportunities to lose sight of whatâs important when theyâre young. They have crushes, and we talk about it, we are a very open family, and they understand why I have that rule set in place. I chose not to date until I was 20. We had no dating rules growing up. My older sister went through boys like water (sheâs also super narcissistic). I decided on my own that focusing on school was the better choice. Itâs nobodyâs opinion but the parents on what they determine is acceptable. The mil is undermining the parents knowingly and willingly which is unacceptable.
No you are doing good
Just go with your heart
