[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 503042, member: 3305"] One more thing... I think it's EXTREMELY important that we don't "Shame" our children into behaving the way we are most comfortable with... It's important to allow them to talk to us about Anything...no matter how it differs with our ideas, beliefs, expectations...No matter how "scary" it may be to us. My mom has a boyfriend who's daughter is 21. She just had her 3rd baby last week...father's are in jail...first 2 babies are in foster care this last one, last week, given up to adopted family. My mom's boyfriend continues to preach "abstinence with her"...It is so sad. My mom is encouraging her to get an IUD as the daughter brought the subject up a few days ago. But...My mom's boyfriend wants to make HIMSELF feel good...by saying the things that make him feel like a "good dad". He is NOT taking an honest look at who his daughter is and where she is in her life and what she NEEDS. He is simply saying the things that make him feel like a "good parent". But truly...What kind of "good parent" is he? Anyway...just thinking about shame and about our reactions to our child's emotions and bodies. LMS [/QUOTE]
