[quote=Anonymous]As someone whose sister was a lot like your younger daughter, I actually think your wife's approach might be closer to the right way. At 14, your DD is going to do what she wants, pretty much. Talking to her about real-life consequences and keeping those parent-child lines of communication open will be, in the long run, WAY more effective than punishing and prohibiting. I believe you that your wife is too permissive. But you may also be too autocratic. Really good therapy might help, but I at least recommend some serious self-reflection and some warm, open-minded communication with your daughter. I see nothing wrong with you taking DD to see a doctor about birth control IF that's what your daughter wants. Please don't think you'll be able to march her in there and demand it. [/quote]
