happyWImom Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I'm totally shocked, because today 2 of my dd's friends informed me that dd is "totally in love" with one of the boys in our 4-H club! Â My dd will turn 12 next month, and I thought boys were the furthest thing from her mind. Â I'm also sad that she didn't open up to me about any of it. Â I am very close with my mom, and basically told her everything. Â I was hoping it would be the same way with my dd-especially with us homeschooling! Â I remember liking boys when I was in middle school, but figured I was more "wordly", plus the whole public school thing. Â We have good friends whose dd started getting interested (after a friendship) in a boy at age 15. Â I guess I was thinking I had until then. Â I'm freaking out a little bit. Â Am I being naive?

Erica in OR Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I think it was at about that age that DD had a crush on an older boy at church. So, not out the ordinary. Â Erica in OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 That sounds normal to me. I had my first big crush (on someone other than Luke Skywalker or an actor or singer, anyway) on a classmate in 7th grade. DD was younger than that. I think it would be much more unusual not to even be interested in boys until age 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I remember having a crush on a boy in 3rd grade.  My oldest was always friends with a lot of boys so she didn't seem to have crushes as much. She might like one a bit more for a little while but it was no big deal since they were already friends and hanging out. She definitely entered into wanting a boy to be a special friend by junior high, so 11 or 12 years old.

Garga Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I had the biggest crush on Frasier. He was in my nursery school class in England. I was 5. Â It never stopped. I was always faithful in my loves. I would be totally in love with a boy for years at a time until my family moved and I had to switch schools. I switched schools quite a lot. Â After Frasier was David, when we got back to America (1 year) Then John at the next school I went to (2 years) Then Tony at the next school (3 years) Then Joe. I loved Joe for 5 years until we graduated. Â None of them loved me back as far as I know, but I was besotted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lea_lpz Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Seriously at 4 months old there was an eight month old baby she would light up when she saw and roll over to him and give him big slobbery kisses. She's always had a crush in some boy, whether Peter Pan, Robin, a neighbor or son of a family friends. Her latest crushes- Carl on The Walking Dead and the young Anakin Skywalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momma2three Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 When she was two, there was a boy in her preschool class that she would say with a big sigh while gazing off into the distance.

lea_lpz Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I don't think worldliness causes crushes or homeschooling could help you avoid it. It's biological. Some kids are very sexual early on, others around your dd's age, and still you got the "late bloomers". I wouldn't be concerned or make it a negative thing. I think we can teach our children our values and what we expect as far as dating / courtship is expected, but I would not want to make them feel their feeling are bad or unnatural. The feelings are natural; it's how we respond to the feelings that can be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momma2three Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 No, I wouldn't be bothered if she didn't tell me. Â She's entitled to her feelings, and to keep them private if she wishes. Â I dunno, I'm not really into the "parents as friends" model, though. Â Crushes seem like the kind of thing you discuss with friends. Â Maybe that's just because how I felt as a kid... I don't think I ever told my mom about my crushes. Â I saved that for my diary and my friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lea_lpz Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Agree with not being bothered. My job is to be a mom not a friend. In fact I think when you set out with the idea of being your child's friend you might end up not being friends when you have an adult, grown woman daughter. That's my experience with my mother anyway, lol. I would as a mother causally express our expectations and have frequent talks but I am pretty relaxed with talking about the birds and the bees with my kids. My 4 year old can tell you all about babies coming out of your vagina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I understand your situation. Am sorta there, only mine's 13. Could have "been there" when dd was 11--I found out about a "relationship" that she didn't tell me about. It can start young. I know how it feels to want to know what's going on. I have to watch it--for me, it's fear-based. I don't want her to get hurt, and I don't want her to do things that I feel she shouldn't. I also know a lot about how parenting is not about control, it's about relationship within boundaries--that means she's allowed to have boundaries, too, concerning what she tells me. But I so, so hear you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catz Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 About 4 months old ROFL - I could say this about my own dd. This is the age she started playing peek-a-boo and flirting with guys. She would not do that for females at all. Very funny! My dd is 9 and she is not wildly interested in boys, but there have been a few she had a preference for or thought was nice or cute. Â I have a 13 year old son and the girls around my daughter's age and slightly older are absolutely nuts when he's around. It's really weird. And he still seems pretty clueless. He has friends that are girls but the girls that have openly showed interest in him he thinks are nutso. Poor girls! Tell your middle school age girls, boys that age can be pretty clueless and not to invest too much emotional energy in them.

Guest Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Yes, you are being super-naieve. I didn't read other replies.

stripe Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I remember liking boys when I was 8, for sure. It was not even remotely sexual. I am positive I never told my mom about it. I did not feel I was "withholding" information from her, but did she really care that I liked how his nostrils flared? Â I know people who grew up in very religious and conservative societies where they were explicitly told details of sexual acts as part of religious education, had clear moral expectations given, and repeatedly and clearly observed farm animals mating and giving birth, and were not promiscuous, yet were aware of the opposite sex. Puberty is biological. It's not that "bad girls" grow breasts sooner or something. I knew all about puberty several years before I started developing, but I never particularly associated my development with doing anything with someone else. It was pretty much about me.

Wabi Sabi Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I remember loving a boy named Brian in my preschool class when I was 3/4 years old. It's one of my earliest memories. In third grade my best friend and I had lots of mutual crushes on boys in our class. The boys we fawned over had zero interest in girls yet. Â Now that my ds is the same age (a third grader) he now has girls in one of his homeschool classes who openly admit that they have a crush on him. I think he's simultaneously embarrassed and flattered, LOL, but just like the third grade boys when I was a kid, he's not at the point of being interested in crushes yet.

stripe Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I remember visiting a cousin when she had a son in early elementary school. As soon as he got home, all these girls were calling him on the phone. He had zero interest, but the phone just kept ringing. It was a bit surprising how aggressive these girls apparently were. This was some time ago, too, more than ten years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
