Good luck with that
If you want them to quit stabbing you in the back, then you need to quit handing them the knife.
XH was out of the house by the time my kids started crushing on boys, so I missed out on a dad's reaction.
Now the important question..... Is he cute?
Now they've never been on a date, they've never talked on the phone...I'm not sure they even exchange words at school! They text and so 'are BF/GF' (I talked to his parents and we're all okay with this...it's really pretty much nothing; we check phones, no icky stuff. They are actually quite boring! LOL!).
Sheesh, when I was 14, me and BF passed 'do you like me?' me notes between class & will you be at roller rink Friday type stuff. LOL!
What do we know? To them, we love to do laundry, gripe about chores and makes meals. What could we possibly 'get' about real life stuff like non-crushes?!

She is a freshman in HS and this year a senior was walking her to class and asked her to a dance. She finally told him, "look, I really don't like you like that." He cried.
She's always kind to everyone she was just nervous and didn't know how to handle it so when she got home and told me about it she cried because she hurt his feelings.
Ah, high school.....I don't miss you at all.
I edit often to fix stuff ☺️
Profoundly grateful Every. Single. Day. that I am blessed with an H with strength, integrity, and compassion, and that he decided to try.
My DD is 14 and a freshman, and still thinks most boys are stupid. But recently has started commenting on actors that are "cute" or "hot". She also has mentioned an upper classman that is in her choir that she thinks is pretty cute.
She tells me she doesn't have time for that stuff. She is too busy being a good friend and making good grades. We will see......
Now DS, oh geezo.....He is LURRVE. When she breaks up with him it is going to be a disaster.
"OMG NO!! That would be embarrassing!"
