[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point is the HARD line.  Being those parents who say absolutely not and then are clueless that your kids are going behind your back without your knowledge because you forced their hand.  And now they don't have you to talk to about their crushes and potential innocent relationships.  And then they get all of their advice online or with their friends or the people they are sneaking around with.

Unless your kid has no electronic device and doesn't go out with friends without you, there are always chances they are "dating"  Not knowing makes it a lot less safer in my option.  So I am not a hard line no type of mom.  I listen to my kids and see what they have to say. [/quote]

Why is it so difficult for you and others to understand that there are parents who have close, healthy relationships with their young teens? There are families who communicate. This fantasy of a 14 yo running amok with some secret sex life is absurd to those of us who actually talk to our kids daily. We look at them, we pay attention and we sure as shot notice when sonething's...off. This is the hard work of parenting: you don't give up in the home stretch. You teens need you more than ever BECAUSE they are not known for their good judgement and impulse control. Talk to your kiids, people , and LOOK at them when you do so.[/quote]
