I have been both: daughter in love and mother who objects to a boyfriend. Parents see things you don't see. If you can't be respectful to me, how can I expect you to respect my daughter? Hormones do not play a part in the way I see my daughter's suitor. You, Sister, are so very young. Just keep your ears and heart open to those who have lived twice as long as you and are probably not with the person they loved at 20.

Warm thoughts for you.
