Yes...very much so on the beginning......my daughter has given in a little now....she isn't so over protective......I know its because she worries about me....so I don't get upset about it.
sometimes they want to be too helpful..just caring too much like I did for them.. They call it pay-back!
My children and their thoughts are important to me. When my daughter didn't like someone I had dated, and told me why, I took it to heart. If her reason had been superficial, it wouldn't have mattered. Since she lives far away now, by the time she or my son meet someone, he's going to be very special to me, simply because it won't be a grocery-store coincidence that we all meet.
My kids have never tried to "fix me up" though. Thank goodness.
No kids, so the answer is no. But being the last of NINE kids to marry ( I was the oldest ) lots,of times their seemed to be someone else around, like at a cookout, etc., A " friend of mine from work " was a common introduction.
I have sons and they're pretty particular who I date...and they let me know in subtle ways. I've only introduced them to a couple of people, though. So far, they haven't tried to fix me up with anyone, but I'd love it if they did. :-) They did give me two month's of sessions with a personal trainer for Christmas last year and I suspect they had ideas in that direction since one of my son's goes to the same gym and picked the trainer...someone who just happened to be my age.
Not yet, but she just moved back and she hasn't had time to help yet. :)
How about my son informed that I was really too old to be even looking at men, let alone thinking about dating!!! He is 24 years old and knows most everything. I politely told him I was free to look and/or date as I pleased.
Softball53girl I guess you never heard the Expression !!
" Hire A Teenager While they still Know Everything "
He is a Carry over fron Teenage is all ............
Hey softball girl! He loves you, but he's clueless about what you might still want, need, feel. Plus, kids just have trouble viewing us as sexual beings, and dating is a wake-up call that we may be passionate people. Just laugh at him......all the way to whatever romantic, passionate, or intimate destinations you manage to find for yourself.
