A dating question for Parents...

When I was 16, I was dating a 21-year-old. (Yes, it was illegal in Texas. Yes, the cops caught us once, but fortunately did not ask my age.) I know my parents hated him, but to their credit, they never actively pushed me to stay away from him. I was actually eagerly awaiting for them to do so, because I was ready to prove that I was so "in love" there was no way in hell they were going to keep me away from him. Then I figured out he was a complete idiot, and moved on. Your daughter will do the same, as long as she doesn't get pregnant (and I agree with Pie, he's more likely to be responsible if he's made it to 23 without having any kids.)

However, you say you "found out" he was 23. Were they lying to you, or had you just assumed?
