[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are not older teens, true.  But I do have a problem with parents taking on the responsibility of providing bc and places (within the home) for their kids to have sex.  I guess that the parents feel like if they don't do those things for their child, their child wouldn't be able to handle sex responsibly - they might very careless, get into trouble, etc.  To me, such precautions and over involvement by the parents is a very real indication that the child is simply not ready to having sex.  Period.

Sex is an adult activity.  Parents should not be involved AT ALL in their children's sex lives in any way shape or form.  [/quote]

I agree- this is a turn I did not see helicopter parent taking! But I can also see where one might be more "prude" and say if sex is an adult activity, then adults do not live with their parents (or really, shouldn't- barring these strange economic times with boomerang kids, but that's a different story IMO).

FWIW, when I was growing up well to do, educated families wouldn't even think of this. The teenage boyfriend staying over was the stuff of Jerry Springer and Teen Mom type shows (even though that wasn't around when I was young).

I also think about the such limited precious time you get as a family while the kids are still home under the roof together before college. It undoubtedly changes the dynamics for everyone if the oldest kid's BF or GF is practically moved in. I know its supposed to be progressive but it all seems a little bit "low life" to me, I don't know why.[/quote]
