[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 105086, member: 1991"] Wow! Well done for not giving her the satisfaction of shocking you. It really makes me cranky when kids try this on - my kids have learnt better and have sometimes goaded their friends to try to shock me. They never do it twice. But when it's your own kid... Mind you, as soon as my girls became sexually active, I took them for testing myself. Not necessarily because I thought the boy could have been a risk, but I shocked the girls by saying ti was the courteous thing to do TO REASSURE THE GUY that they were not putting HIM at risk. It's one thing to blithely say, "I don't have any STDs," it's quite another to present your new partner with a piece of paper saying you don't. Mind you, if you're promiscuous, the piece of paper rapidly loses all value with time passing, as the number of risky encounters than could have taken place since the test, rises. I didn't organise the testing in any atmosphere of punishment, either - I presented it as "manners, social nicety" sort of thing. As if everybody does that... And to have your mother sitting there with you, calmly discussing sexual responsibility, can really gross out a lot of kids. Parents are not supposed to know anything about sex, it was invented by THIS generation! And if you can manage to turn the topic to include "mucus" you have totally got your own back on your kids. Try discussing natural contraception with them, to introduce mucus into the topic. Works a treat as aversion therapy. And do make sure you go into detail. Relish it. And next time you're having coffee together or she has the guy over for a visit, again bring up the topic. Be open with it. Wide open. makes sense. Enjoy! (as much as you can) Marg [/QUOTE]
