At what age should your child boldly introduce his girlfriend or boyfriend to you?

[King Belieal]

In some societies, there is freedom while in some societies, there is conservativeness. We know that kids start having romantic partners much earlier nowadays. But most would keep it away from their parents till when they are of age.

I am in my mid 20s and I can't boldly introduce a lady to my parents as my girlfriend because I live in a highly conservative society.

At what age do you think is ideal for your child to introduce his boyfriend or girlfriend to you as a parent?

I wouldn't want to know my child's girl friend. Bring the person home when you are ready to wife the person. This is the serious stage

 

[King Belieal]

But I thought the modern age says we should allow our kids to be free and we get to know their romantic partners so we guide them. Is it not so?

Nope, I wouldn't want to see random girls and men coming to my house in the name of girlfriends and boyfriends. I only want to be associated with the fiance and fiancee. I can still guide you without knowing the girlfriends or boyfriends

I understand you perfectly. It scares me that one boy would be making my daughter to have sleepless nights. I would rather not see him or know him.

You can start having a boyfriend or girlfriend when you are ready to marry. I see no sense in dating someone when you are not even up to the age of marriage.

That's it. I wouldn't want to see different faces in my home. You know some friendships don't lead to marriage. So I want to see only the boy or girl you are talking marriage with.

 

[Springtime]

I do not think there should be a definite age. I would be pleased to meet with my child's girlfriend or boyfriend. Then at least I know what kind of friends s(he) is hanging around with.

I will allow them once they get 18 years of age. Before that I would not even let them go into a relationship

 

[Stardom22]

According to me it's when they are above 18 years. I don't entertain that kind of practice with children below 18.

 

[Shavkat]

It depends what family you are living in. In my time, our parents told us to have a partner after graduating from our universities.

Yes you don't have to entertain such as a parent. Let the child be guided still the get to the age of 18

 

[Ratine]

Frankly speaking the children are good to bring their fiances home for introduction when they are above 18 years old.

 

[Etini Willie]

A child of 15 years can have a boyfriend or girlfriend which I know about. You as a parent knowing or not. They would still have it. Why encourage them to hide it?

 

[Unyime]

For me till 20 years before bringing any man to the house for introduction that's is the normal age.

Sometimes I believe 18 years is still very young. What would one he possibly be doing with a boyfriend at age 18.

 

[freelancermaria]

It is acceptable to introduce a boyfriend or girlfriend to a child when the child is already employed and can support themselves.

 

[Ratine]

In my country, nowadays the majority of the youth's would not get married for the fear of taking responsibilities.

 

[Sawe]

I am in my mid 20s and I cannot gather courage to introduce my boyfriend to dad. Here in my country, parents are so traditional and conservative about relationships. It seems like a taboo to even talk about it. Which is not, it made be guilty and had no skills on how to handle relationships. I will make my children to be more comfortable about it.

Marriage nowadays is a mirage. People that even get married don't even last up to 10 years in marriage again.
