As usual I am the odd parent out on this...
Cheryl, I agree with you. Those are my thoughts too. I was reluctant to post because I don't have a sexually active teen (yet). But I think that even if I did, I wouldn't want to appear to be condoning it. Doesn't this kind of fall into a similar category as allowing your kids to have sex in your house (as long as they're doing it anyway....)?
I wish I would have posted this on the appropriate board.
You shouldnt feel bad about posting it here!
After all, both sides of the argument are already running through your head, right?
I am not offended, and if I were, it would not be from your posts or your responses to me.
Well, we could use the traffic on the other board! ;)
If I had read this post 2 years ago, before I had a SA DD, I probably would have agreed with ej and Cheryl.
Kim, I think it's a good idea. You've stated to your dd that you're not condoning SA, however, the reality is she and her bf have been sexually active and there are a lot of areas in their relationship that this book may benefit - not ONLY the sex part!
I read some reviews on some books out there and the one *I think* you referenced sounded like a reasonable book. I hate that we as parents have to be so involved in our kids' sex lives. Don't you? I mean, my parents were not privvy to anything I was doing at 16! Not that lack of communication was a good thing, but in the case of MY mother, it certainly was. Haha.
Enjoy the holiday - Merry Christmas!

Recognize that sexuality is normal in adolescent relationships.
So true candledance.
