[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 13 yo DD came back from summer camp with new knowledge, apparently.  She shared it with her friends.  Now, her friends mom emailed us to tell me that DD was talking about inappropriate things.  Specifically, BJ's and 69.  In my mind, that is age appropriate; it was the age I learned about the concepts.  And this is how I learned.  And, at 13, I though it was gross.  What if he peed?  Isn't it dirty?  (those where my thoughts).

I have not responded to the email.  I am thinking of responding it is the right age to hear about this.  There is probably a few years before either kid will be in a situation where this will occur (DD is not allowed one-on-one dates until she is 16, though I might relax it later).  FWIW, these kids are going into 8th grade next year.   Neither girl has shown significant interest in boys yet.

Does this sound age appropriate?  Or am I behind/ahead of the curve?[/quote]

Option A: Continue to ignore the email.

Option B: Quick response: "Hey Bertha, thanks for letting me know. Best, Ruthie."

Option C: Apologize profusely and overreact so she feels embarrassed for making you feel so embarrassed. [/quote]

+1 But I would be so tempted say when you eavesdrop you ear lots of things that you would rather not![/quote]

Right? Or pile it on. You and your daughter have such a close and trusting relationship! Oh wait, I forgot, you obtained this information by violating her trust. I'm totally doing a seek mission today for my daughter's diary! What about you? Want to meet for coffee and compare notes!? (more sarcasm)[/quote]
