Oh you poor thing.....I know it probably wasn't the conversation you were hoping for, but at least she was able to talk about this with you. That's a great thing. Hang in there sweetie, the teen years don't last forever.....THANK GOD!

Thanks guys. Did I mention the boyfriend was there too......

I too would hope she would wait, but if not then I'm glad she's taking precaution.

My youngest is now 18, so my heart goes out to all of you who are still dealing with this stuff with minors.

It feels to me as if the teens will hand us anything but what we're expecting, so there is really no way to be prepared for it. Just when you think you've seen it all and experienced it all they will toss something new into the mix.

Just try to pick your battles and remember that this is at least as tough for the kids as it is for us parents. Their increasing independence though is a sign that we have done our job well. We want them able to be independent and strong as they leave the nest.

Ya, I'm guilty of doing that. The good news is that I eventually got so sick of his family that I was home more often. They will probably spend too much time together and get sick of each other really fast. My mom used to get really mad about it and all it did was push me away more. The thing is that there was nothing to do at my house and my mom didn't cook home dinners most days when he came over. She didn't do it on purpose...she was just like " I wasn't going to cook tonight, I'm sorry" so then we would go out. Just make sure he knows he is welcome over there. I apologized to my mom for migrating to his family and since I have been out of that relationship everything is much better between her and I. Good luck with this situation. Hopefully everything will work out soon
