[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this in tweens? Shouldn't this be in Adult Children, because she's y'know, an adult?

Please don't tell other people her personal medical issues. If she wants to tell him, she can. She didn't need to tell you, don't make her regret it by spreading it around. [/quote]

I thought about putting it in adult children, but this is Tweens AND Teens, and I carefully labeled it as older teen (18) in the subject line.  And she lives at home, so it didn't seem quite right for adult children.

Thanks all, good advice.  The other thing I did say was while this is easily handled there are other things that aren't and she interrupted me, "I know! I'm being careful!"

I am a very private person; she is not. I do agree if she wants to tell her dad she can, and I think I'll leave it at that. She's already told 6 of her friends.   :shock:  :roll: 
I did tell her this morning she might want to consider discretion - not being shamed, or hiding, but just keeping her private business private. [/quote]

I hear you OP.  Plus this is an anon forum.  It’s a safe-space to share thoughts and discuss.

I also grew up in the early AIDS era; it was so sad and tragic when HIV was a literal death sentence (remember the quilt?).  Thank God for the cocktail!

Anywho, I also remember we all learned about Safe Sex, but then most of us changed to calling it “safer sex”.  Condoms can and do break; even intact condoms can’t always stop herpes transmission if the partner has an active outbreak.

Please reinforce safer sex with your daughter; a good quality condom is required every time (for every use; never re-use).  And for oral.  Flavored condoms are everywhere and they are specifically made for oral (and should be used).

Don’t be afraid to buy them for her; don’t let “we didn’t have any” ever be an excuse.
