Recently, our daughter (17 in June) told my wife and me that she has started dating not 1, but 2 guys. No introductions needed since we already know them; they’ve been close friends of hers for quite some time now. Daughter put it as: why do I have to choose if I like them both and they don’t mind sharing?

I just don’t like it.

    In the late 80 and 90s my mom bitched me and my friends out for “hopping from fake monogamy over and over again” because we didn’t date around. We tried to explain that STDs meant that “going steady” was the only dating status available at the time.

    Honestly, with the current economy, 3+ adults to a household just makes sense. Isn’t that sad? As long as everyone is informed, your daughter is still finding out what she wants from life don’t make it more complicated by forcing your views on her too.
