I saw the following on Facebook today.
I love this, it says a lot. Unfortunately our boys now a days are not really boys on their way to being men. The boys today do not pick girls up, they do not pay for dates, they are boys that want to date but do not want any of the responsibility of dating. Now that school is out they do not get to see each other every day. YES! Hold on though, about once a week he gets invited to summer outings with my family while I am at work. He does not pay for anything, and he has to be picked up. As parents my wife and I make sure when our kids go somewhere they have money, we make sure they offer to pay their way. That leaves it up to the host parent to say "thats ok" or "no thank you we got it". Not this boy. Big ole mooch. So reason # 157 why I don't like this kid. So I am trying to slow things down with this boy, show her that in the future he will not be a good husband. He is a little boy, in mental development and size, I pointed this out to her and said what if a wild animal attacked you? How would he defend you, you know what she said? "I will protect him". Wow. Did we fail as parents? OR is this puppy love and the young lady making any excuse to put him in a positive light? I really hope this kid moves or gets put in prison soon because I really want her to have a boyfriend that is on his way to becoming a man, who treats her great and wants to take care of her. Is that too much to ask for? The young boy in the house turned 13, he will treat girlfriends the right way, he will pay for dates, and his girlfriends parents will not pick him up. That I can promise.
