My 15 year daughter confessed to me tonight that she's not a virgin. That didn't bother me so much as the fact that she said her first time was two years ago ... w/ an 18 year old.

Before I could get into the "lecture," she spewed her regret and confessed her stupidity quite readily. That relieved me some. Then she told me about her ongoing relationship w/ her boyfriend. That I could better understand, even sympathize with 'cause they truly are "in love," as much as people that young can be in love. In all honesty, he really is a good kid and she probably couldn't have done better.

Needless to say, the little thing pretty much rocked my world tonight (not in the good sense) and I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it. The one thing out of all this I'm really grateful for is that she told me this. She also told her mother. While she told both of us in the strictest confidence, we (of course) compared notes. It seems she told each of us the exact same thing, so we're pretty sure of the veracity of her stories. THAT I'm really grateful for 'cause I know the day she stops communicating is the day we've lost her. Nonetheless, I'm not really sure how to respond beyond contemplating putting her on birth control and offering my advice (not my commands). Any thoughts?

Any insight from the ladies in this group would be most appreciated...IF they don't mind being a "traitor" to their sex...in the interest of effective parenthood, of course.

You asked for it so here's my take.

I have boys And I'm a single mom so it fell on me to do the sex talk with them. I actually made it pretty easy for them to talk about because we have talked about t for years. From way back when they were pertty young. I felt that it would make it easier for us to talk if it wasn't an embarasing thing for them.

The Christmas my oldest turned 15 I gave him a 12 pkg of condoms. we talked then about the fact that it wasn't a free ride to just go have sex but if he was going to I would rather he and his partner be protected. We've had the condom talk on several occasions. My youngest got his this year he turned 15 last July. They both know the necessaty (sp) of being responsable.

Theres no real need to get upset, it was going to happen and no amount of worring about it can help. Just be glad she came to the two of you and do what is necessary to protect her both from pregnacy and from the things out there that can kill her. Face the fact that she is growing up, as parents we sometimes try to stick our heads in the sand and think our kids won't do that. But they ALL will and thats just fact. Its not the end of the world but she needs the two of you on her side and not by lecturing her. Talk to her as you would have liked your parents to have talked to you. Give her the facts and the information she needs to be the adult she will become.

I do know that My parents yelled and fussed and got all upset at me and that only pushed me away to the point I still won't discuss alot of things with them that I'd like to.

CALM COOL and COLLECTED think before you speak because the words you say may change her life forever You make the decision as to if that change is for the good or the bad.

106.1 FM -- Their marketing strategy is to play a WIDE variety of popular music: anything from rock to hip-hop to oldies, etc. It's nothing to hear Van Halen, then Beyonce, then Credence Clearwater. Get the picture? I rather like it 'cause I hear songs I haven't heard in ten years or more on the radio...right next to songs my daughter listens to now.

MG

I checked out the station. Their call sign is WRDU correct? They had some good tunes on it last night. In fact, some I hadn't heard in while.

Speaking of male bonding, how's that smoking cessation program coming along? You're just about at the 3-4 week mark, right? I'm told that's the "moment of truth" for most people.

Hope it's going good. If not, however, don't beat yourself up. Just try, try again.

Remember: Mark Twain said "Quitting smoking is easy. I've done it hundreds of times."

;)

Stick w/ it bud. I'm rooting for ya!

MG

ACK! No smoking is a male bonding thing now?????


I quit on April 29. And as of now I have had 0 cigarettes. A hellasious load of peppermint candy, but no tobacco products. So I ought to be easy to find this week-end for anybody. Just follow the smell of peppermint... ~grins~

Well, considering I was a virgin until 18, I'm not much for life lived advice. Just get her on the pill or the shot, and make sure she knows you're there and you're not freaking out, so she'll know she can come back to with other things.
