Nowadays, instead, I research free birth control sources for my
daughters' friends


Do you let your their parents know you are doing that for them? Cuz I
kindof
think that's my department and I'd be pretty ****ed off if someone was
doing
that for my daughter without my knowledge.

Interesting question Joelle. I know I prefer to be the one making that
discussion also but if she really can't find it in her to come to me, I can
only pray she talks to another responsible adult, rather then take info from
friends. I would like that adult to just mention to me that she asked
questions, they gave answers and then I could bring up the subject with her
personally.

I was faced with a situation where I overheard some racy phone conversation
my daughter and her best friend were having with a dude. I over heard the
friend saying she has sex buddies. I also over heard her say S was a virgin.
(Halleluiah) So after taking the friend home, telling her mom SOME of the
stuff I over heard.... mom said nothing could ever go on because mom is
always around, kids never alone (which isn't true) and I realized some
parents like to be in the dark. I later asked my daughter about her friend
saying she had sex buddies. My daughter said she was exaggerating, that she
had only had sex once, a year ago. So she was 12 at the time. She confirmed
she herself was a virgin. I told her to tell her friend that she really
needs to talk to her mother or someone at school, especially if she thinks
she will have sex again and that I will be keeping my eye on her and if I
feel the need, her mom will know that her daughter has had sex. I felt in my
gut that if I told mom that last bit of info, she would have confronted her
daughter, who would have lied and she would have believed the lie and
nothing would have been gained. I think this way, she knows that I have an
eye on her.
