Let your son plan “dates”

From the time when my two children were small, I always tried to prioritize one to once. As one of four siblings, I know how much I loved the times when I got a parent for myself and I want my children to have this room too. But while these special trips have become easier with my youngest (who wants to go to the shopping center or hike, I do things Also Love) It was a bit challenging with my 13 -year -old son. Many of my suggestions are politely “no, thank you”.

But the Tikok creator Melissa Ann Marie (@melissaannmariee) has an idea that I could simply steal …

“Once a month, [my son] May his mom take out on a date, ”she explains. “He is 13 years old and it is really a good practice for him how he can include future women on data, especially since he approaches this age.”

She explains that she usually gives him $ 50, but he also plans everything, from determining the activities to the reservations of the doors and the payment of the invoice. Melissa explains that this is common to be creative, imaginative and thoughtful.

“And on the way,” she continues, “I teach him manners and respect, and it is a really good way to spend some time with my son and teach him a really good, valuable life.”

I will not lie: I don't love to design this as a “date” or “for dating”, but I love to take the idea of ​​teaching teenagers to promote connections to other people.

Spend a lot of time on social media and you will not find a lack of women who complain that male men, friends, friends, fathers and employees are too happy, are only expected to expect women Take care of things you have, I don't feel like thinking about it. It seems to me that young men can understand what is going on in planning something for another person, can help them develop a better appreciation for invisible work and be proactive.

Fortunately, Melissa's son completely crushed this excursion and chose a cat café. The boy selected the café because it supports a good cause … the money goes to the kitten and cats. “He and Melissa love cats. He also liked that it was a simple activity to plan and enjoy. Until they decided to go to the beach and get Tacos afterwards (Mama covered this bill, but he was the one who only paid them in practice)

Cats? Nice sea view? Delicious, inexpensive tacos?! To be honest, it would be a date of 10/10 and also a 10/10 meeting point with pretty much someone.
