Mom's 'date with her 12-year-old son has people debating: Smart, sweet or creepy?
Briefly

GRWM (Get ready with me) for a date with my boy. Basically you give them an allowance ($50) and they take you out on a date. The idea is you are prepping them for how to take a girl out on a date in the future so they aren't completely lost when the time comes. So you help them along the way with how to plan and execute a date and you teach them basic etiquette and manners.
I know that $50 is not a lot of money to plan a date but that's the point of all of this. You don't need a lot of money to plan something special. Consider others' preferences, open doors, walk in unison, pull out chairs, communicate with servers and budget money.
It's really nice because we get to spend thoughtful, intentional time together - but the catch is that I make him plan it.
Trying to teach my boy all of these things so he can be the best partner for someone someday.
