I know that I could have used your advice growing up, Bryan. Maybe then I wouldn't have hit on you so hard. <br /><br />Every time I read one of your posts, I feel better about so many things. And then I read the comments. It just makes me sick that some people actually think and thrive on such hate and lies. <br /><br />Daniel and Selena could not have ended up in a better, more loving, or a safer home. Keep up the good fight, Mon Ami.

Being a teenager myself, I certainly a...Hey Brian,<br /><br />Being a teenager myself, I certainly agree that we definitely DO NOT live in a world where holding hands is a big deal anymore. There are kids out there who have lost their virginity by the age of 13. I completely understand that anxiety and fear you're experiencing. In addition I can understand Jay's "no dating" rule. <br /><br />I'd really like to say that Daniel is a very pure and honest boy. To be able to come right out and confess his feelings - something teenage boys still can't do today, is amazing. And as am I, very proud of him. It's great that he's so honest with you and although he may not tell you 'everything', he's a lot more honest than most.<br /><br />I think you should be understanding and just tell him the truth about the world today. Let it on lightly of course - little by little. You don't want to bluntly tell him he's not allowed to date or anything related to it. He's just going to get confused and it'll make him more curious. He might think that he could be doing something wrong and he'll be more likely to hide more things in the future. So you want to remain honest to him too. At least that way, as a teenager later on, he'll know that he has two wonderful, supportive and understanding fathers he knows he can talk to.<br /><br />But if you think this feels a little difficult, wait 'til Selena reaches this stage. (but let's just say it's a while to go :P)<br /><br />Hope this helpsJessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-31902757837377513862011-04-19T07:11:52.461-07:002011-04-19T07:11:52.461-07:00glad to see he didn't catch the gay after all ...glad to see he didn't catch the gay after all those years of you raping him.<br />i can't wait till the aids kicks in and you sickos leave the planetFAG HATERnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-49541075670199347432011-04-19T06:16:42.455-07:002011-04-19T06:16:42.455-07:00I feel for you Brian.

My bunch had plans to go to a under 18 rave party before I busted them and called their parents (FYI some of the parents could have cared less).

His first day at kindy he fell in love with all his tiny 4 yr heart... he protected her, played with her all the girl games she wanted, fought off the bullies then when he got to school he pick up where he left off.... so at the age of 12/13 when they got to high school they ended up Boyfriend/Girlfriend not sure why they ended but they are still best friends ...so as a parent I wasn't concerned as he treated her like gold & had done since 4 years old...<br />Jays right about dating that can wait kids grow up to fast... they need to keep it innocent & fun I wish my son had kept his innocent & fun.... <br />BellaBellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-74444679943793007972011-04-18T15:05:24.786-07:002011-04-18T15:05:24.786-07:00I loved your post! :)

Sorr..."Let the parental freak out begin"<br /><br />Sorry guys, but I laughed out loud at that comment (for real, not a simple LOL at the right moment). My parents, to my knowledge, knew virtually nil about my dating issues...well, until the guy broke up with me in a public way, but that's a different story...<br /><br />It's probably a very kid's version of dating. I doubt there's anything huge you two need to worry about since Daniel is still very young. But your son continues to amaze me in all the ways he's growing up and I'm sure you guys are amazed too. But if the kids want to "date" then you and Jay along with her parents need to set the rules for them and if they go on "dates" accompany them. When Daniel reaches the appropriate age Jay thinks he should be at, then he can go on dates by himself (my first date was at age 16). But I don't think it will EVER be comfortable for you two, no matter if Daniel is 10 or 100. He'll always be your baby in your eyes, even after he's long grown up and starts a life of his own. I trust that Jay and you are treating him right and showing him everything you know about being a good human being. This little girl is in for a treat getting to know him =) Don't stress you guys <3 Everything will be ok <3Stefanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-26607917656363229672011-04-18T13:57:20.438-07:002011-04-18T13:57:20.438-07:00Great and sweet article Bryan!
