[quote=Anonymous]My two oldest are 21 and 24. I suppose they'd be considered late-bloomers. Neither had sex until they were in college. Both had significant others in high school though. We created rules as they were needed. If they wanted to go out with someone on a date, we needed to meet them. Nobody was allowed to pull into the driveway and honk their horn or text to come out - they needed to park and ring the doorbell. Your significant other may attend Sunday Dinner. They may NOT take you away from it.

Not allowed on the floor with the bedrooms, but I tried to keep the little kids out of the common areas when they had boyfriends/girlfriends over (my little kids could NOT plop down on the couch to watch a movie with the high school kids). Yes, hand-holding and kissing were allowed.

I had two kids as a teenager, and my kids have been subjected to a LOT of talks about relationships and sex and birth control, etc. They've had it pointed out that both if they are going to have sex and can't bring themselves to do it, I will get them condoms and birth control. However, if they don't have the maturity to get it themselves, they are not mature enough to be having sex and they should think about that, extensively. They've been given a lot of talks about what to expect from a boyfriend/girlfriend, and what they're obligated to give as one. [/quote]
