I'm sorry you feel like I'm embarrassing my children. I write about my personal observations and often draw from firsthand experiences.

As soon as they are home from work, I will ask them if they mind me talking about their dating experiences anonymously. As it is we've talked very openly about their dating challenges.

My son with the girlfriend referenced in this article has said he knows he's not ready for a relationship after his first attempt, and is only looking for hookups at this point, so I doubt he'll care.

And my other son is barely mentioned.
