My 14-year-old daughter May has been dating this boy Félix (also 14) for a couple of months now. He’s a nice boy, really polite, but I can tell he most likely isn’t from a well-to-do family. I don’t have a problem with this though because as I said, he seems like a good person and that’s what counts.

He was going to take my daughter out for ice cream earlier today, and while he was waiting for her to get ready he asked me if he could have some peanut butter. I said oh, don’t you want to save room for the date, but he explained he didn’t have enough money to buy something for himself (he’s always paid on their dates as far as I know).

This poor kid was so hungry I could hear his stomach growling. offered to give him some money but he said he’s not allowed to accept cash. I then asked him if it’d be alright if I took him out for dinner with my daughter, and he called his mom and she said it was ok. When May came downstairs I told her the new plan. She was upset and thought it was lame that I’d be with them. I said I could just sit in the car and she could call me when it was time to pick up the check, but she was having none of it and said she was going out with some friends instead.

It was a little embarrassing since she basically dumped him in front of me, but I kind of just moved on and asked Félix if he still wanted to go. He said yeah so I took him down to Wendy’s. We had a good time, but when I told May where I’d been she was furious. She accused me of liking her boyfriend romantically and that I shouldn’t have gone “on a date” with him without her.

I reminded her I’d given her that option and she’d refused, but she said that didn’t change anything and now she can’t trust me with any of her boyfriends. I tried to tell her I’m not interested in her boyfriend at all but she just ran out of the room.

I feel bad for her but I don’t think I did anything wrong. AITA?
