[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love these parents who think they can control every aspect of a teen's behavior! Were they ever teenagers themselves?[/quote]

I don't pretend to control my teens, but my role as a parent is set reasonable boundaries so I can can guide my kids to grow up to be healthy and happy adults.  I have known too many kids f'ed up by parents trying too hard to be friends and not parents.  Honestly, I would not care if my teens kids sneak around if they were careful and in a caring relationship, and I don't want to facilitate or encourage them.  I want the kids to have to put some effort into getting away with things, so they can put some thought into what they are doing.  In a couple of years, when the kids are in college, I know they will do whatever they want when they are at school, but it still does not mean when they come home, they drug alcohol or have partners sleep over.

So it's ok if they have sex in a car/park/classroom/church/chemistry lab, but it's not ok if they have sex in your house? I don't understand that thinking.[/quote]

Different poster. It's not OK/desirable at all, but if I can't control it completely I'm at least going to control the part I can and not condone it happening in my house where it is more or less as though I am giving my blessing to the behavior. It will not happen in a situation where I reasonably can have a say in whether or not it happens, because I believe it should not be happening so to my way of thinking allowing it to go on when/where I could prevent it would be wrong.[/quote]

I feel the same. I'm not allowing my child to have sex in my house. I don't think its a good idea and I'm not condoning it in my house.[/quote]
