My eight-year-old son asked me what my husband and I would do if he brought a boyfriend home in middle school or high school.
I asked, “what do you mean, what would we do?” I thought maybe he was worried we’d be mad? Or that we’d say no?
But then he says, “Will you help me out?”
He then explained that he wanted to know if we’d give him tips on how to date a boy or if we’d just make him figure it out himself. We assured him that we’d help with any dating tips we could.
The look of relief on his face, I tell ya. No worry about whether it was okay or not because we make a point of telling him we support him all the time. The worry stemmed from whether or not we’d give him dating advice. Lol. What a kid.
Additionally, I told him don’t go to dad for this…his dating advice is to use lots of puns.
