[QUOTE="Lil, post: 652502, member: 17309"] Don't get me wrong...I absolutely think she should be told! I just think that Difficult Child needs to do the telling! And this isn't HIV or herpes or anything incurable. In my mind that's apples and oranges. You all go on and on about how they are adults and we have to treat them like adults...Well you don't run and tattle on another adult. At a minimum, you give them the chance to do it themselves. Say you had a sibling, or just a friend, who fessed up to you they got an STD. Would you phone up their boyfriend or girlfriend that they may or may not be sleeping with and tell them? Maybe, if it was something really serious or incurable, but otherwise would you do it ever? It hasn't got anything to do with having a boy instead of a girl. It has to do with treating them like I'm constantly being told to do, staying out of their personal business as much as possible. So YES, she absolutely should be told if they are messing around. I already said that. But HE should do the telling! If he refuses - and she thinks he's lying about being sexually active - that becomes a different matter. [/QUOTE]
