[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 286553, member: 6705"] difficult child 1 has known about this from an extremely early age - BM took her and difficult child 2 to boyfriends' homes for overnights, even before she left husband - isn't that nice - and BM has always been extremely vocal about sexual issues. So difficult child 2 has ignored it, but difficult child 1 had some pretty odd beliefs. Fortunately I was able to simultaneously embarrass her and push the idea that I was approachable about it, so we've talked quite a bit. I'm the one she came to in early February about birth control... And of course she was molested by BM's boyfriend/fiance/whatever. And then she got caught having intercourse with her "boyfriend" in February (4 days after she started the pills... Invicibility complex I do believe), and then the issue this past weekend in the mall. Being open is a good thing. However she's gotten the idea (likely from BM) that it's OK to be promiscuous. It's cool. And I just don't get it, although I know I wasn't exactly careful when I was younger (not THAT young, though). Low self-esteem has a lot to do with it, too. As long as I don't put things in a context of me-and-husband, difficult child 1 is cool talking about it. The second it turns into "parent sex" it gets creepy and she clams up. Strangely enough - husband and difficult child 1 discuss it too. Same thing! [/QUOTE]
