Just want opinions really.
Dd has just started high school and was telling me that a friend of hers has a boyfriend.
She said they hold hands everywhere and kiss and he rubs her bum when they are sat or stood together.
I'm quite shocked at this and dd is at least pretending to be. I consider myself to be unshockable and fairly widely wise but I did think this was a little premature.
I was also wondering what if do if it were my dd because guarantee if you tell them not to do something they will do it more!
So what do you think? Am I just out of ouch with the kidz Grin

DD (12) and her friends all have boyfriends on and off. DD hasn't kissed or mentioned bum rubbing though. She's being very open about it all and it's nice but alien to DH and I as we would be mortified to talk to our parents about that stuff.

Yes they are open aren't they? I'm keen to keep that going and remember being OBSESSED with boys at that but none of the tactile stuff.
