so glad i only had one daughter. but i told my kids all the dangers of unprotected sex, and all the responsibilities and consequences they would have to deal with if they engaged in it. i think too many parents just say 'don't do it'-admirable, but short sighted. why shouldn't they do it? just saying you'll catch something or you could get pregnant isn't enough. besides, what kid doesn't think they aren't bullet proof? pregnancy is temporary, that kid is permanent. i told them that i'm sure their future (hopefully far away) offspring would rather be raised by an employed adult, not a still immature teen.
i told the two boys that girls are sneaky and conniving, and are to be avoided-but i said the same to my daughter about guys. whether it worked or not i can't say for absolute certainty-but i'm not a grandma either...
the best thing i think that happened to my youngest is his best friend and g/f got pregnant. he's seeing first hand what is going on with that kid-he doesn't like it, and sees that-gasp-mom was right about it being a life changing event.
