[QUOTE="erbaledge, post: 399861, member: 4334"] Fran - I believe you and I have very similar opinions on how to handle the 'birds & the bee's'. :) What books did you give them? I'd like to get something for ds13, but no clue which one, as there is so many out there. I want the facts, truths, and realities for him. I've given him just about as much open talks as can be at this age, and until he becomes sexually active, I think we are on a stand still. I know some talks he's gotten a little pink in the cheeks (embarrassment?) but we kept chugging along on the topic. I could ask his Dad to have a talk (we are divorced, but ds13 and dd10 see dad regularly) with him also, but I really don't know how that will fly, and also if we are on the same page as for what type of info to share (in my opinion, no question will go unanswered for ds13 from me) and I don't feel like quizzing ds to see if Dad answered all his questions or gave him real answers, so I'd rather do it myself or with factual books (or informative). by the way, on this topic, I can share here: ds13 took home the Interactive Baby a month or two ago, and took the entire class. At the end of the class, he brought home an Abstinence Vow :D , he carefully handed it for me to sign after he signed it, telling me the teacher said it was optional, but after having that baby one night, he DOES NOT want to even think about having sex! (Can't that attitude last until he's married!?!? lol) I was/am proud of him, but also know, teenage boys have hormones, and that can change on a whim. [/QUOTE]
