Rihanna’s mother wouldn’t let the singer go on dates until she was older: ”I wasn’t allowed to date. At 13 my mom would tell me, ‘You can have a boyfriend when you’re 16!’ And then at 16 she’d say, ‘I never said that – and as a matter of fact, it’s 40!’ ”
Sandra’s mother banned her from dating: “My mother was very strict but rightly so, I think. She just didn’t want me in a car with any boys whatsoever until I was 18… I was allowed to go on a date twice – to a dance. But I had to call every 20 minutes. (I had to go) to the payphone. Helga would have shown up at the school, which she did as well, when she didn’t hear from me.”
