Tap Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 If your 15yo wanted to hang out/ precursor to dating with another teen, what kind of places would you find appropriate for them to hang out? Of course we have our house, but we only have the living room that everyone uses, and the back yard. The other rooms are upstairs and are a little too private for my liking. I am drawing a blank, as I was raised in a resort with a lake, and we had the entire resort at our fingers. Dh had no parental controls. I don't like the idea of hanging out at the mall, and the library isn't really a place for hanging out and chatting. I do not know this girl at all, so I don't like the idea of them going to her house. Help...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 How about the bookstore? I used to take my dd there to hang out with a friend. They talked, I read. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Starbucks? or the cafe at Barnes & Noble -- best of both worlds: coffee AND books! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieM Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Bookstore sounds like a good idea, the teens could bring chess or another board game if they need a coffee shop activity. I'll be watching these answers, as my oldest may soon be looking for these type of ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 At that age, I only let my sons hang out in groups. So I would take them to the movie and pick them up. We have had a couple of girls my 15yo likes come over for dinner and watch a movie (in the living room with the whole family) before as well. They did go down to the family room in the basement and play the Wii, but my younger kids were down there. Little brothers and sisters make great chaperones.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
