Considering I'm only nineteen and wasn't allowed to date until I was sixteen, I know what it's like to have those rules enforced! lol. Your kids will thank you for it, I know that for sure. I wish my parents would have been more strict about it, or else I wouldn't have been sneaking around to hang out with boys.

My dad emailed me those rules sometime last year, right after my 18th birthday, and it still makes me laugh when he calls my boyfriend "The Ugly Boy". Teenagers may bitch about the rules their parents make up for them, but I think later on your kids will thank you for it. It's nice to date someone when you have your parents approval than without it.
