[quote=Anonymous][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]

If it is hard to do something, they are less likely to do it.[/quote]

They'll get a quickie in somewhere with no birth control. No time for that. [/quote]

If they are having sex, then maybe they will get in a quickie somewhere, or maybe they won't.  But if they can count on privacy and time in my house, they are sure to use them to have sex.

Their use of birth control is not venue-dependent.[/quote]
