From Angels to Monsters

If that is what it takes, I will be signing my 16 year old up to an internet courting site today.

Hi marigold...I'm not sure it's the 'courting' that makes the difference, indeed I'm charmed at your use of the word.

or "to spite their parents?"

mad?

I tried to put dat*ng but the site wouldn't let me. There is obviously something about internet dat*ng that the programmer disapproves of. Perhaps he/she had an unpleasant experience once on an internet date. I almost had to resort to a thesaurus to find the alternative in courting.

I like the comment about the internet courting site!!

I find it very hurtful some of the comments they come out with, just this morning dd was astounded I knew a current (horrid) song was by Katie Perry, but even more shockingly that I should know she's marrying Russell Brand - hello, I'm a human being who listens to the radio and shock, they do play music from the 21st century!! Where's my little girl gone who thought I was the best thing since sliced bread. Whom I could do no wrong for, who made everything 'right ' in the world, I'm suddenly treated with disdain just for being *gasp* a parent!!

Ah well, that's kids for ya!

Shamefully, one of the very few things my daughter and I agree on is our secret passion for Russell Brand and we would fight to the death over Syed from Eastenders.

What about Fabian Cancellara? Now there is a man who would definitely 'court' you!

internet courting site!!

Isn't that what Facebook is? I think my DS treats it like one .

The thing I found hard with DS1 was how young he still was when it all started to kick in, 11. Also it is hard managing it when you have other siblings who then think it is acceptable to copy their behaviour.
