[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you're being just as strict as her parents. Have a talk with her to confirm she's having safe sex, offer to go with her to get testing and/or birth control and condoms, and have her invite the guy over for dinner so he can meet the family.

Be a good cousin! 
You DO realize that if you kick her out, she will move in with the boyfriend and the DH's cousin's parents will blame you, right? [/quote]

Err no. It's not your place to make sure a 22 year old is having safe sex. She's not a teenager, she's an adult. [/quote]

I spoke with my 85 year old grandfather about safe sex when he started dating after my grandmother had died. It's not about age. It's about reminding people  you love to be careful with their health and helping them to do that if they need it. [/quote]

Because pregnancy and STIs are of huge concern to the 80 and up club? If there's a group of people that don't need to worry, that's it.[/quote]

Actually my sister is a family doc seeing mostly geriatric patients and STDs are a HUGE problem for the 70+ age group. Safe sex wasn't something many had to worry about because they married young and had the same partner for 50 years.  But STDs can cause major health problems - so lesson to be learned safe sex is important regardless of age. [/quote]
