Naughty

gagging

Since its getting so close to Christmas I say we have a little fun and help Santa out! Rate the person above you naughty or nice!!

OK I gave an example. Never did I say you should or you have to put a restraining order on this boy. That was what my mother chose to do with an 18 year old who was dating a 14 year old. She gave us the chance to stop it and we both ignored her so she took that extra step. I dont even know if they would put a restraining order on a 12 year old child....

As a parent you do have the right to what she does and does not do. You can allow this to continue if you choose. You can take away the priviledges she has that allows her to talk to this boy. If she sneaks and gets caught you can ground her. In the end it is your choice how you handle this situation.

I'm not trying to be mean here, really, I am not but I have to ask this question. Do you not realize that she is 12 years old?? She is not an adult, she is not even a teenager yet! She can't take care of herself or make the decisions in life that are required to live.
As parent's that is our job until they are old enough to do it on their own. When your daughter is 14 and pregnant please dont cry about how this could happen to you. She needs a mother, not a friend....

Oh and just so everyone knows I was a brat as a child and thru most of my teen years. My mother stayed firm with the rules that were set and I hated every minute of it but today when I look at my old child I am thankful she CARED enough to step in and "guide" me to be a better person!

Ok I just have to ask this one....Why have you allowed your daughter to talk to this boy? Why are you allowing any contact for their "relationship" to grow??

I'm not judging nor am I meaning to sound like I am but I do think the whole situation is sad. You are the parent. You are there to do what is best for your child. Since the boy's parents dont seem concerned why not social services....Drug use is a HUGE issue...
As a parent we are supposed to care for our children and do what is in the best interest of them. It doesnt seem, to me, that the best interest of any 12 year old girl is to be allowed to "date" a boy who is already experimenting with sex and drugs....
Screw being the bad guy and do what is right.
There wont be any kind of Romeo and Juliet issues to be concerned about.....As your daughter matures and grows up she will also realize that she is not in love with the boy....If you allow it to continue what do you think is going to happen?

IMO if you want to help this boy try getting him help for the drug usage. Instead of accepting the "relationship' 2 12 year olds have with each other, put that focus into helping the boy. I'm not saying he is a bad person or on the wrong track but I think there is really something wrong with the idea of a 12 year old who is doing drugs and experimenting with sex......

Let these kids be children while they can!

Wow this is a very sad thread. I dont even know what to say.

At 12 do you honestly think these kids have any idea about love. Regardless if they have "been together" a year now do you think they really get it?? They are way to young to know what real love is and they are children and have the right to a childhood.

I can say this. My mom went as far as putting a restraining order on a guy I dated when I was 14. He was 18. I thought I was in love with him as well. After the restraining order there was no contact allowed or he would go to jail. By the time the restraining order dropped I had turned 16 and realized that he was not the one I was in love with and furthurmore he was not even the person I had thought he was when I was 14.

If my child was in this same situation I would make the relationship stop, no matter if I was the "bad guy" or not. To allow it saddens me.

When I meet a man I am interested in dating I will allow my son to meet them in the beginning. I want to see how he reacts to my son and how well they get along.

Of course everything is kept platonic around my son so its really no different than any one of my guy friends. If I were to have the guy stay overnight he would come after my son went to bed and leave in the morning before my son woke up!

I dont think children need both "parents" in their life. Afterall who teaches a child what a parent is in the first place. We the parents do. My son has no idea what a dad is because his father has never once been around. He is better off than being hurt by his father. JMO

Heck, my ex wouldnt even know if he had a good child since he's the A typical dead beat!!!

Thanks Brand, that was real sweet!!!!

OMG Thank you soooo much. LOL Now I really feel dumb that I couldnt figure that out on my own!!!

Now I'm scared!

And I was told it was better than Inernet Explorer!

Ok how?

Does anyone know anything about proxy configurations?? I installed Firefox but it wont let me use it because Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.

Can anyone help??

OMG Dont I feel dumb now. I tried all kinds of other stuff and nothig worked. Thanks to everyone for helping me!

This morning my son got ahold of my computer and made some changes and now I cant figure out how to get it back to normal. The change he made, somehow, is that now my task bar is horizontal on the right side of my screen and I cant get it back to the bottom. Can anyone help me??
