bec omg you just described Chloe-Mae to a tee lmao! You are going to make one heck of a fab mother when your babe is a teenager!!

*Blanchie* thank you so much, as long as my dd can trust in me, I know where she is at with her life, if I instill fear in her about this and that and feel if she decided to do things , she will feel she cannot come to me and could end up way worse than just using the pill.


Sherie you so totally get me and my thinking,thank you so very much. Another fab mother in my eyes!And can I say "wowowowowow" YOU SO GET IT!!!! My daughter just read this and said " she is soooooooo cool" lol.


My daughter and I sat here together and read through this, and she like me shook her head at some of the accusations as me being irresponsebile, and yes that is what some of you were more or less saying. And yet, I am trying to protect my daughter not wrap her up in cotton wool so she does not understand what choices she has out there when the time comes.

Some parents think that there child see's them like a god and that they will repsect every single thing they say, I have never met a child that does not do something behind there parents back . Even if it is just something very mild. Peer pressure will over ride any parents wish eventually and especially if its a "BOY" that she is interetsed in.

I would rather walk the woods with my blinders off, than walk the woods and trust in hope I dont go near danger! Teenagers are unpredicatable.

My almost 17 year son has still not had sex because his girlfrind of 6 months is not ready. He is still a virgin himself . All his mates at Tafe drinks, smoke weed and have sex, and Josh has done neither! He is a health fanatic which I have installed in him as I have done with all my children.


My hubbie is a reformed alcholic of 7 years now and my teenagers grew up seeing what alchol can do to families, so they are very much wise little thinkers, and my son is on his way to his life long dream of becoming a Health and Fitness trainer . So yeah I must have been such a irrasponsabile mother to him to!

I think telling your teenager she cant have, is playing with fire, I think telling yor teenager she has options if she is going to start a sexual relationship and to come to you when that time does come
because she should use contreseption is very wise. Its pretty rare that the first person your daughter sleeps with is going to be her one and only for the rest of her life, so respecting herself is not only about putting sex off till the right one comes along since there is pretty much no such thing, I mean seriously does our first sexual partner stay with us for the rest of our life? I teach my daughters that respecting herself comes from within, no man or boy can ever take that away from her.
