[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happened with the birth control? Did she forget to take it and decide to have unprotected sex anyway? Did she want to get pregnant and then change her mind? She should get an IUD. [/quote]

Her birth control method is her decision.  If she wants an IUD in the future we’d make that happen.  I am not sure what happened.  She thinks she forgot a pill.[/quote]

OP, if you wrote the post above, you sound dangerously disengaged. You have a sexually active minor who has already gotten pregnant once. How do you not know what birth control she is using?

No wonder the boy's parents are putting some distance between themselves and your daughter.[/quote]

+1  agreed. Mom of boys here. I’m terrified of the possibility of my sons’ futures being derailed by pregnancy. I have had very direct conversations with my 26 year old about the risks and realities. [/quote]

Tell your son to keep it in his pants.

Self described #boymoms are such red flags.
 Teach your little Brock consent. [/quote]

It takes two. DD should keep it in her pants, too. We're past the days that it's the "boys" fault. It was a group effort.

They are dating, they are older teens, this is a serious mess-up but a mess-up indeed.[/quote]

LMFAO. When has it ever been the "boys fault"? No really (still laughing), when?

Look, if you're worried about your precious boy being derailed by some girl (I'll not put the characterization of what I think you're really thinking about any such girl), you tell him to not have sex. End.Of.Story. From there, if there is a pregnancy, he has little control. And frankly, [b]he should [/b]have that control. It's not his body. The sooner he -and you- recognize that, then the better off you can counsel him how to act.

* should NOT[/quote]

I was responding to the quote above that said that the "son should keep it in his pants." And, the PP also said "teach your little Brock consent," which is completely gross and sexist.

Both things are ridiculous and old fashioned. We can't do anything about the past and must move on. No one is being "derailed by some girl" and I have zero negative thoughts about a girl getting pregnant at 17 besides what a massive bummer.  Telling 17 year olds (male and female) to not have sex is stupid. I thought that abstinence talk died in the 60's. You can encourage them to wait (and I do) but life is life and when in human history has such waiting happened.

If a girlfriend of one of my son's gets pregnant by him, it would be ultimately her decision on what to do. I would hope they would come to a decision together but, in the end, it's her and that's that. [/quote]
