So this morning on GMA there was a segment about parents allowing their teenage childern having sex in their homes. One parent said that she feels like her child will be safe at home. Most of the time the condoms are in the night stand drawer (her words not mine). COME ON!!!! Do most parents think that just because there are condoms being used that their child will not get pregnant/get girl pregnant??? COME ON FOLKS!!!!!!! Condoms break ALL THE TIME!!! I know that most use just for the "SAFE SEX" (not getting AIDS) and what not, but seriously, some girls dont like the way it feels, so then no condom is used. And in the same time, some boys dont like to use them because they dont like the way it feels, so then again NO CONDOMS USED!!! So then what good is that drawer full of condoms?? The lady said something about from ages 15-18. Well let me tell you something 18 is an adult. No I would not be happy with the idea of my 18 year old child having sex in my house, but THAT IS AN ADULT!!! Now on the flip side....15 WHATS IS WRONG WITH THESE PARENTS SAYING ITS OK AT 15???? FIFTEEN!!!! At 15 the kids need to be thinking about other things like getting an education not having SEX.
Having a baby at the age of 18 was hard for me, I cant image what having one at 15, 16, 17 would be like. I am in no way downing anyone who has had one earlier than 18, but I am saying I wish I knew then what I know now. I love my children (all 4 of them) with ALL my heart, and would not take anything in this world for ANY of them. Having a child when you are still a KID yourself is not easy. It CANT be!!!
Please understand that I am not downing you if YOU are ok with YOUR child having sex before they are GROWN, but this is MY blog, and I am NOT ok with MY child having sex before they are grown. I am TRYING to raise my kids in a Christian home, with Christian values. I dont want my kids to even think about that stuff!!!
