[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mother of older teen and what she does with her boyfriend in her room with the door closed is her business.  She is in a positive relationship with a young man whom we like very much and frankly I think in this context she should be having sex.  At the very least it is healthy and appropriate.  If she were behaving recklessly or if she was much younger I would feel differently.  But sex is a good thing, no?[/quote]

Will raising her child be your business? Actually, yes. Tell her about condoms, for your sake as well as hers. Sex is a mixed bag emotionally as well as physically. It's not a neutral.[/quote]

You know what?  You can stop now.  There's not one parent on this thread who has said they give their kids carte blanche to have sex WITHOUT having discussed the realities of sex.  So get off your damned soapbox and let the adults talk.  [/quote]

Oh, I hit a nerve, did I? I am an adult, and I can tell by your reaction, one far more mature than you. "Realities" aside, I think the truth is that you don't want to face such sticky realities but would like to cling to the notion that you can be your kid's "friend" as well as her mother. Well, guess what? You can't. She's taking risks with her future and you're denying it. Your denial of reality is so utterly thin that a stranger on an anonymous board like DCUM can get you freak out with all caps screaming, so maybe you have a few internal realities to confront, too. Maybe you're the one who hasn't quite grown up yet.
