10 Rules for Dating My Sons

Several friends posted a list of "rules" for dating their son on Facebook tonight. It raised some eyebrows.



Here is the original.


The original brings up several thoughts from me, none of them good.
  1. If this is the sort of girl you raised your son to date, that is your fault.
  2. If your son is a grown ass man, this is absolutely none of your business.
  3. If your son marries a woman you view in this manner, and you treat her accordingly, you will alienate both of them.
If you raise your children to respect themselves and others, they will seek out people who respect themselves and others. You might not like their choices, but your children are their own people. Attempting to control them will just drive them away. Attempting to control their choice of partner when they are adults says more about yourself than anything else.
