- I have a 16-year-old son and a 14-year-old daughter, who have started dating within the last year.
- In addition to dating, they've also gone through a few breakups.
- It's surprising how hard it's been to watch them deal with heartbreak, but it's also been rewarding.
In the last year, both of my kids have had their first serious relationships. Gone are the days of schoolyard crushes, and in their place are weekend dates and dinner table talks about my kids' relationships. As a mom to a 16-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter, it's been eye-opening — and sometimes harder than I imagined.
