If your daughter would tell you she has a boyfriend

I remember the day when my daughter said she already has a boyfriend. I didn't know what to say at first. She was holding three books and told me that those books were 'his' gifts. I just told her to take care of herself and shouldn't be too serious about having a boyfriend. Their relationship, however, only lasted for four months.

Well, every daughter has to have a boyfriend at some point. All you can do is trust they listened to your conversations about relationships. I noticed when my daughter started having boyfriends, she ended up not liking the same ones I didn't like, lol. You can't tell them outright someone is bad news, sadly they have to see it themselves.

Our daughter has her Christmas vacation at home and went back to Manila for her college studies. Then, that morning she called that she already arrived there and told me , she already had a boyfriend. I was speechless and told her why didn't she tell us while she was at home . She said we might get angry because she promised us that she will do that when she graduates from College and she's just in 3rd year college. After that conversation , i cried , much to the surprise of my officemates.

@lingayako See . That's how mothers feels when they realize their daughter will soon be a lady and soon will marry and leave our house . REally the husband took it lightly . As to my hubby , he was silent . I guess he felt what i felt too .

You have the same reaction with my office mate. She cried when her daughter revealed that she already has a boyfriend. But her husband just laughed saying that she also went through that stage during her teen-age years.

I don't have any kids. I told my parents when I was in high school, they didn't say much and how I'm with him 9 years later :) How about now does your daughter have a boyfriend?

t depends how old they are. When an eleven-year-old boy tells me he has a girlfriend, I ask him how he know she's his girlfriend. He says, because she writes back when I text her. I smile and say, that sounds like a good relationship.

You made the right reaction, be what a mother should be, to remind her to be careful about it. Children tend to listen to what parents are telling them.
