Wow. I'm so glad I found this today. My daughter, who will be 15 in February, just told me that she and her boyfriend have had oral sex. I was shocked, but I tried to be non-judgemental and gave her some more facts that I wanted to make sure she understood. This is her first serious boyfriend and they love each other.
I told her that sex may happen sooner rather than later and that I do prefer that she waits until she's married. This is what she wanted, too, until she fell in love. I remember what it was like to be 15 and I didn't have the same relationship with my mom that my daughter has with me. I was very close to my mom, but we didn't discuss sex openly like I do with my daughter.
She texted me this morning that she thinks she does want to go on the pill. I told her I'd make her an appointment, but that I'm also going to make sure she and her boyfriend have more supervision than what they've had. They are never alone in my house but have more privacy at his house. He doesn't have his license yet, so they are not in a car together. I know that where there's a will, there's a way, but I'm trying to make it as hard for them as possible.
Sorry I rambled so much. I just wanted tosay "thank you" for helping me see that I am not alone.
