[quote=Anonymous]I am judged because I did not flip out when I was told my 17 year old, senior was having sex with his girlfriend. My husband and I were already aware, and he's had access to condoms since he was in 8th grade. I'm also not taking away his phone or monitoring his whereabouts 24/7. He's a good person, busy with work, school, and sports. He's kind and the relationship is consensual. Parenting is hard, and I try not to judge your journey. However, I believe life would be easier by sleep training, not freaking out about small things like cupcakes at birthday parties, sweets at holidays, the occasional white lie by a child (especially when backed into a corner), a B in a class, etc. Set guidelines/expectations, but only be super firm about the things that [i]really[/i] matter. Even then, be prepared for and give them room to make mistakes, and let them know you will be there to help them through it. [/quote]
