You seem to be taking walking in on your daughter f*****g her boyfriend pretty calmly. (that is, you're taking it calmly...I have no idea how calm the f*****g was)[/quote]

Wow, vulgar much?

Why wouldn't he be calm?

Sure it's a bit awkward to walk in on anyone unexpectedly, but reasonable adults should try to react calmly and minimize the embarrassment for all involved.

I tend to treat my older teens with roughly the same attitude and respect I would give another adult unless that's not what they want/need or they show me they can't handle that. If the DD is old enough to make the decision that she's ready to be in a sexual relationship she should be old enough to me mature about associated awkwardness, and so should the father.

Kudos to OP for his sensitive and respectful handling of a tough situation, especially given all the cultural issues surrounding the topic and the fact that he is a single dad dealing with this particular issue with a teen daughter, something that may add to the awkwardness.  [/quote]

Um, no. If I walked in my 15 year old kid having sex in my house you can bet that I would flip out, put an immediate end to it and send their friend straight home.  It would very likely be an awkward, embarrassing, uncomfortable scene and there would be some serious freedom reductions afterwards.  15 is too darned young to become a parent.  And I'm too danged old to step in and care for a newborn baby.  I know my limitations.  I know my kids' limitations.  No Way.[/quote]
