[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what about the seriousness of their relationship concerns you? Is it that you don't think she should be settling down at 16? Is it that you're concerned that other areas of her life will suffer as a result of this relationship?

As for what you can do about it now, it sounds like you and your daughter have very good communication, so my suggestion would be that you should talk to her about it. Figure out what your actual concern is and have a conversation about that.

(No doubt other PPs will think this is crazy and that you should really just "parent" your "complete moral failure.")[/quote]

OP again and I am concerned that she is too serious with this boy in every respect.  I am worried that she may limit her college choices and only apply to schools that they can both get into (he's a good student just not as good as DD).

And she has the birth control pills so she got them from somewhere - I have no reason to doubt the doctor's visit happened.  My DD is just like this with everything - she researches everything, gets "expert" advice and makes a decision.

No, she has a different gyno than I do.  She wanted a woman and I've been with the same male gyno since before she was born.  And yes, children can go to a clinic or doctor without parental permission in our state.  [/quote]

In that case, I think you should talk to her about the college issue. I remember how seriously I felt about my first boyfriend (who was also a decent respectable kid, who I had sex with, in his parents house, though they were not home at the time). It's a pretty exciting feeling. But it shouldn't change her decisions about her future and I think that you should make sure that she understands that.

That said, given everything else you've said about your daughter, it doesn't sound like she would go to a crappy school just to stay with a boyfriend. If anything, it sounds like she would go to a great school, encourage him to go to the best school he can get into, and then try to maintain a long distance relationship with him, which is a whole other kind of heartache.[/quote]

Oh, sure. Because she's so mature!  I mean, she is 16!![/quote]
