[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only have girls (14, 16) and I purchase condoms and leave them in the bathroom under the counter. They should always have 2 on them. Give them to friends too. It shouldn’t be just the guy’s responsibility. They also carry Narcan. [b]Does that mean I am ok with them being around drugs?[/b][/quote]

I mean, yes, it does. What do you think it means?[/quote]

You're crazy. I've shown my goody-two-shoes kids how to administer Narcan if they should ever be in that position as well as telling them how to do CPR and use a defibrillator. It's that kind of world now.

Do you have nicotine patches in case they get hooked on cigarettes or tobacco vapes and need them?

Do you have suboxone just in case they become addicted to opioids?

If yes, then your logic with condoms and Narcan is consistent.

If not, ask yourself why you’re stocking condoms and Narcan, even though you insist you’re not encouraging adolescent sex and drug use, just in case but not those other items, just in case.[/quote]

You don't get the situation out there. I don't have too much experience with the condom issue but it is irresponsible for you to pontify about Narcan. Sounds like you are one of those 60 year olds who like to post on this forum or a mom of a little kid, you seem so out of touch.

Try again. I have a 16 year old son. My stance on sex and drugs is clear. We’ve had a lot of conversations with him about why we hold those stances and our expectations of him.

If he chooses to disobey and deviate from that despite that understanding, then that is his choice and the consequences are on him. But he can’t say he made those choices because he thought it was ok with us.

By supplying your kids with a steady supply of condoms and Narcan, you ARE normalizing that behavior, whether you want to acknowledge that or not.[/quote]

The consequences are on him?   :shock:  Death or a pregnant girl that is choosing to keep the baby and he has 50% custody and care as a high schooler?

The fact that you think your 16yr old son is just going to listen to you, not ever succumb to peer pressure, and always take this straight path is ridiculous.  If anything, he will just be sneakier and never tell you.  He will be the one getting into a car with a drunk driver instead of feeling safe enough to call you.  And he isn't not going to have sex because you don't condone it and it will be unprotected.  But kudos to you for great parenting!!  Teens have poor frontal lobes and they don't fear much or think things thru.  They make a ton of mistakes.  It shouldn't mean you deal with the consequences and we won't support you.  That's disgusting.    [/quote]
