[quote=Anonymous]I am not a BTDT parent. My kids have a lot of freedom but they know what our expectations are regarding dating.  Good that OP's DD is using BC, but 16 is still very young.

When your kids are doing well in school and being generally responsible - it is great, BUT, they are still not adults and they still need guidance and supervision - so you cannot be lax.  There is a difference between delegation of responsibility as a parent and dereliction of duty as a parent.

Teen years are confusing years for our children and they are not capable of making very good choices sometimes.  It is a hard balance for parents though because you also do not want them to not be independent.

I hope things go well for OP's daughter and she remains focussed on her education, because next year is Junior year and this(boyfriend, sex) is a major distraction and a source of emotional ups and downs.

BTW - if your DD is in her bedroom with her BF with doors shut, what do you think is happening?
