Kids generally don't think things through...or have life experiences as a point of reference to make good decisions. That's what parents are for.
That's so funny. Just this morning on the way to work, I had an idea for a book on the subject of "Things I Wish I Knew in My 20s" - I had 3 categories: relationships, work/career, and money.
With all due respect to those who may be in this category, I think there is usually something wrong with a man who is in his 30s or older and dates someone in her teens. That's just not normal. I just had this conversation with my mom last night.
