What are your "rules" for your daughters calling boys who they like?
I'll admit, I'm not only old, and I was raised in a rather strict old Southern home, but it was pretty prevalent with the friends I grew up with: We weren't allowed to call guys. I was allowed to call someone back if they called me first, but picking up the phone and calling a guy I liked was 100% taboo. My brother ended up marrying a girl when they were in their mid thirties he'd known since they were 13 and since they were always just friends, there were many times she called him while they were growing up. My mother STILL refers to her as "The girl who calls boys.", lol!
There is a male living in my house who these ditzy females call all the damn freaking time! The one who prompted this called him yesterday and asked him out (you can just imagine - if we weren't allowed to CALL boys, asking one out would have been a fast trip to the convent
). Due to circumstances 100% within his control, he couldn't go. He called her and told her. She has called 10+ times since then - in 12 hours - once on MY CELL PHONE because she used caller ID when he called her from the car and figured he had another #.
And this is NOT unusual, it's been happening for years and I'm sure these girls call ALL guys like this, not just my charming son.
So....am I just pathetically old fashion? Those of you with daughters over 12 - what are the rules?
