And its everywhere, the music, tv, movies, internet and school. They believe they have all the knowledge, freedoms and rights an adult has. They dont believe they should be treated any differently.

But the affection is something they crave. My 13yr old is the "daddys girl". She is very affectionate and loving and always has been. Then boys came along. When she has a boyfriend I rarely see her and have to stop her to get a hug. When she doesnt have a boyfriend she is at the door when I get home and will not pass by me without stealing a hug or just come downstairs and sit in my lap and talk. She knows I am here for her, but when she has a boyfriend then I'm not needed in the equation. So really , I dont know..... I just dont know.

Scotty this is natural with most kids of that age. Puberty is rough. A boyfriend or girlfriend is like an obsession, family is just always going to be there. And if you push for balance with them, some of the time the family loses.
