[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like dcurbanmom has hit a new low today between this thread and the sorority video one. I’m a parent, not my kid’s friend. I don’t buy alcohol, condoms, or share videos of scantily dressed rear shaking. I’m no prude but that’s just not how I see my role. And for those of you who supply alcohol to underage kids, especially high school, you are legally liable if anything happens. Be the adult.[/quote]

Agree with you for everything except buying condoms.  I did all I could to educate my kids, but if they choose to have sex I want them to have safe sex...so they know I will fund condoms or anything else they need.  But the rest is theirs to figure out.  I'm not hosting HS drinking parties...then again, all 3 of my kids survived HS without drinking (yes I know it is true)...they were not the type to attend parties like that.  They had a good group of friends and most did not drink.  Those that did did so with other groups (who liked to drink).  It is possible to get thru HS without a kid drinking much or any.  And those kids can also be "popular" and happy.  [/quote]

Agree! And I will admit that I’ve wavered on the condoms. There’s just a part of me that feels like you should be responsible enough to buy your own condoms if you’re having sex. But the costs are pretty damn high if they are not so I will ponder some more.[/quote]

Schools offer condoms free all over the place.  They are very easy to get in college without buying them.[/quote]

Many kids are uncomfortable asking for that especially if they are new to having sex. Also they might now be accessible when the need arises unexpectedly. Every responsible parent should be packing condoms. [/quote]

The need? It’s not a need, it’s a desire. I asked my kid about this on our Target run yesterday. He said, omg, mom, I’ll buy my own, who has their mommy buy them condoms? Also, I’m not the one packing.[/quote]

Condoms are a need when your kid is hooking up and Target isn’t open at midnight. If you don’t buy them there is a 50/50 chance your kid is having unprotected sex. [/quote]

If I don’t buy them? I’m not a helicopter mom. Perhaps the young adult I raised could go out and buy them and have some on hand. Or maybe refrain from penetration until they are better prepared or even cut the night short. It’s not really for me to say. It’s not my sex life or my business.[/quote]

Don’t be mad when your kid gets herpes. [/quote]

Condoms don’t actually prevent herpes. You chose the one STI that they don’t.[/quote]
