Our future babies - BOYS only!!

in Toddlers: 24 Months+

I saw the girls only post down there a ways and I got jealous.  So...

When do you think you'll...

Buy boxers for your son (instead of tightie whities)? 13 years

Let him see an R rated movie? 12 years (depends on the movie of course!)

Let him get a job? 16-17 depending on how much outside of school they're involved in.

Let him take a girl (or boy?) on a date? 13 in groups, 16 alone

Have a cell phone? Probably 12 years old

    When do you think you'll...

    Buy boxers for your son (instead of tightie whities)? When he wants to try them

    Let him see an R rated movie? Depends on the movie and my H and I would have to discuss first.

    Let him get a job? I say 14 because that's when I got my first job but H says 16 or 17.

    Let him take a girl (or boy?) on a date? 13 in groups, 16 alone

    Have a cell phone? trying to avoid that as long as possible but probably 13 or 14.  A lot of it depends on what kind of kid he becomes.  If he's really into school activities and sports or incredibly social like me I would consider it but if he prefers to hang at home I don't see the point.

    Let him see an R rated movie? My husband and I very anti living in a bubble and as I was the last of 8 children and all of my siblings were a lot older than me, i was exposed to a lot at a young age and I think I've turned out okay :) That being said it depends on the movie and what my ds is like.  Right now he's almost 2 and a half and he's so sensitive he cries during any dramatic part in any Disney movie.  For example; during Walle he just cries and says "Wall E find Eva!".  LOL so I think he'll probably be 25 before he can make it through a R rated flick.

    Let him get a job? 14 but it really depends on what he has going on at school

    Let him take a girl (or boy?) on a date? 13 in a group, depends on him and the girl for alone

    Have a cell phone? Whenever he has a lot of after school stuff going on I think it is appropriate.

    Buy boxers for your son (instead of tightie whities)? I'll probably always buy him briefs. Since his dad wears boxers (no confusion while doing laundry)

    Let him see an R rated movie? 14

    Let him get a job? When he is old enough to drive himself. I will only shuttle for sports and extracuriculas

    Have a cell phone? Probably 8

     

    Let him take a girl  on a date? 14-15

    He wears boxer briefs now.  I doubt that he'll want to change.  He's kind of averse to change.

    Let him see an R rated movie? 

     Depends on the movie, but probably not until 14 or 15.  

    Let him get a job? 

    15 at the earliest. 

    Let him take a girl (or boy?) on a date? 

    In a group, around 13.  15 or 16 on a real date. 

    Have a cell phone? 

    When we think it's actually needed.  We've talked about getting one of those that only dials a few numbers and 911 for when he's around 9 just so that he has something for emergencies when he's out playing.
