Parents: Birth Control for your Daughters

[Bikini Mod]

I want them to understand how powerful a gift this is, because they can give life. SERIOUS STUFF.

I want them to respect this gift, themselves AND others so as not to behave irresponsibly.

ugh, i cant stand when i see girls i fool around with take birth control pills. all i can imagine is semen coming out of every possible orifice from the thousands of guys they must be sleeping with.

i wish they could keep that tidbit to themselves. it's a huge turn off.

I'm taking care of a 17 year old girl this year. I've sort of lucked out on controversial issues... she isn't interested in boys yet and just wants to play sports.

She's a smart kid and I trust her completely. She wouldn't lie to me about anything, and we talk about everything. If she does get a boyfriend I don't have any worries that she won't pick a good kid.

I guess I'm just blessed that I feel she can talk to me and my girlfriend completely honestly. Communication makes all good things possible.

Greek's have it down. Best form of birth control is a girls dad following her on her date with a shotgun. It usually sorts out the serious guys from the those looking for a quick root.

My parents talked to me about sex. It wasn't the most comfortable deal, but they were pretty okay about it. As my parents were both party animals, I think they always assumed the worst. I wasn't allowed to date until I was 16. Mostly my parents lectured me to be safe.

I know they wanted me to wait until I was married but they never said that. They stressed that they wanted me to make responsible choices. To be honest, my parents were quite firm with me and I was terrified of disappointing them for a long time. I didn't choose to abstain in HS etc for them though. I was really busy with school and sports and didn't date much.

In college I decided that I didn't want to have sex. I didn't want to risk getting pregnant. I dated a guy for 18 months without sleeping with him. A couple of weeks later, just before I was 20, I decided to have sex. I was safe about it and have no regrets.

My oldest daughter is 14. So far she hasn't asked to be able to date. I have been fortunate so far, all she cares about is sports, but it is coming, I know. Any boy interested in her will have to see her at my house, in the presence of the whole family.

Can you make an exception for me?

Neither do I. Thanks for waiting.

Re: Birth Control

It always amazes me why we don't have tv shows about parents discussing ways to keep their teenage boys' pants up. Why is it always on daughters and their parents? Shouldn't we be teaching our sons birth control as well? Aren't they just as, or should be just as responsible? After all, it the boys that ultimatly pay for the child's support.

Abstainance is not an alternative. Think back when you were a teenager. Did you abstain? Why do you expect your children to abstain?

I abstained until 19. I have no children. I am single and 28 years old. I would say Ive done a hell of a lot better than a lot of guys and gals.
