[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom @ 15:  I totally respect your position.  But I admit that I have used the statutory rape legal argument with my just turned 18 yo son (when discussing his relationship with his 16 yo girlfriend).    [/quote]

Very interesting. My husband is two years older and we honestly never had this discussion nor did I ever have this conversation with my parents. [b]I guess because it didn't apply until I was 16 and by that point, we'd had a child[/b].[/quote]

Not getting this part.  BTW while the two year age gap took him out of that statutory rape category it did not take him out of second degree rape because you were under 14 at the time.  Anyway, I think that we can all agree that this is not a moot point.

Just curious (I have two daughters) what was your living arrangement between the time of your first child and the time you got married and how did your parents react to the "surprise" grandchild.[/quote]

My parents (who were separated) were upset, but not overly so. She was probably more embarrassed than anything. Abortion was never a true option and neither was adoption. My Mom is a SAHM (stepdad in the home), so she kept my daughter while I went to school. My husband lived with his Mom who WOH. When we had our second, we were both working FT and we moved into our own place when the baby was about 5 months old.

I have a very atypical teen Mom experience. Fantastic family support, no judgment....just love all around for the child(ren). With all that said, my daughters know that I expect and want more for them and they live much different lives than I did as a teen. I don't see this being a factor (unless my 3 y/o has some surprises for me).[/quote]
