even though I think this post is complete crap.[/quote]

OK, even if it is a troll, I think a PP made a great point: This is an (unwanted) opportunity to talk about something important (appropriate, healthy sexual relationships, which porn is not) and OP instead went for the "don't break the rules" discussion/freakout. As queen of the ill-timed freakout, I understand all too well how this happens, but if you want your kid to talk to you about important stuff, you have to create an atmosphere in which the important conversations happen. THAT is what parents do. And sometimes to do that, you have to apologize for your own inappropriate behavior.

Also, even if one of my kids says he doesn't want to talk about something, I will plow on through if I have a point of view I think it is important for him to hear. If you wait for your kids to be ready to talk to you about uncomfortable subjects, it may never happen. [/quote]
