<p>Mothers probably get a different perspective than other students, and most of the postings here are anonymous, so I don’t see why some of you are bashing Mom.
It isn’t just mothers with daughters that get worked up when these things happen either.</p>
<p>The other day, I was in the grocery store when I ran into my daughter’s prom date’s mother. I only met her at the pre-prom party, where the photo sessions occured. At the time, I felt a little funny with all of the attention and compliments about my daughter by his family…parents, aunts,uncles and grandparents. To me, she was going with a guy friend who she liked , but had no real romantic feelings for.
Her sister and I kind of laughed about it on our way from one house to the next, knowing how she was just casual about it, which is typical for her. She also made it politely clear to her date, who is a very nice young man.</p>
<p>Anyway, his mother told me she didn’t understand why they didn’t really date or be boyfriend and girlfriend… I just told her the truth …that she didn’t want anything that serious right before going off to college.</p>
<p>She had a boyfriend, on and off all the way from 8th grade until jr yr of high school, and to be honest I was happy that she decided to keep everything light and hope she does for awhile !</p>
