A while back I found a condom in my 17yo DD's wallet. Yes, I snooped. I know she has had sex with her boyfriend (they've been broken up for quite a while now).


I checked for the condom the other day and it's GONE!


Do I ask her what happened to it?

I don't think it's so much turning off the parenting switch at 17 as it is gradually turning the dimmer down. I've seen too many kids loose their minds that first year away at college because now they don't have anyone monitoring their activities on a daily basis - and making extremely stupid mistakes in the process. I'd rather have mine start to exercise their "freedom" that last year that they're home when I can still curb the craziness when need be.
