[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 387910, member: 1514"] Well...I know getting the permit is a big deal. I have no idea how my parents ever allowed me to do it...lol. They must have done the ostrich deal and buried their heads in the sand because I was such a difficult child back then. I swear I dont know why they allowed me to do all the things I got to do! I would have never allowed ANY of my kids to do what I did. I got my license on my 16th birthday...was driving on interstates right away, got to drive with boyfriends out of state without adults, went flying in single engine planes with said boyfriend...all kinds of things. Im like...oh over my dead body! LOL. But obviously I survived! At least your dtr is practicing safe sex. I know its not something any parent wants to think about. We always want to think our kids are going to save themselves till marriage or 35 whichever comes first. Probably unrealistic in this day and age. I would be more concerned with the drinking and driving myself. One thing I always told my kids was that I was totally against them drinking and using drugs but should they ever find themselves in a place where they did or they were with friends who did and they didnt have a safe way home...to call me and I wouldnt lecture...then. Later consequences may come...but the consequences for driving drunk would be so severe that it wouldnt even come close to just drinking. Oddly enough...none of mine have ever driven drunk to my knowledge. [/QUOTE]
