[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The truth of the matter is, your morals don’t matter.  Your daughter is very nearly an adult.  She has her own morals and will make decisions based on them just like your adult siblings, friends and co-workers.  Parents don’t get to control their teens sexual and relationship choices.  Maybe you could try while she’s still under your roof, but I think you are better off beginning to shift your thinking into the supporter/cheerleader/advisor role that parents of healthy young adults play. [b]It’s ok to recognize you wish she’d make a different choice, tell her your perspective and concerns.  Then let it go. . .[/quote][/b]

Totally disagree with saying you wish you made a different choice.  That's a terrible thing to say to a 17yr old that confides in their mom [/quote]

I’m the PP you’re responding to and so agree, I meant mom can recognize she’s disappointed but she doesn’t need to share that with DD.  I do think she can have a conversation with her about sex, relationships, BC, STDs if she leaves her own morality out of it. Basically, talk to her like you’d talk to another adult. [/quote]
