ok so I was watching an episode of Runaway and the neighbour is telling the mom that she saw her daughter buying condoms. and the mother confrontes her daughter about it like she did something wrong.

well I think I would hug my daughter for being so bright to think to buy condoms

I mean ok she could be having sex or she could be thinking about it but either way she would be being recponseble so I would just sit down with her and discuss it...

well at least that's how I hope I'll react my mother never talked to me about these things until after I had allready done it (I was 14) and then I approached her and told her about it.

this was just something that I was wondering about so how do you ladies think you'd react?

I hope she would ask my about these things so I know she buys a good brand that isnt prone to tearing. And ask her to wait one month till the pill or whatever other method we choose really is working. I never spoke to my mother about these things.

I also feel similar to drinking. If she is able to get alcohol at say 16 or 18 (whenever) I would rather her drink at home and I know how much and I can teach her to drink water with it.

I would hope that my girls would be able to come to me to talk about it when the time comes, but your right, that girl was at least responsible enough to get some protection.

My parents never discussed it much and it was always a negative thing when we did. I hope that I can encourage abstinence with my children but be able to talk to them about their decisions and help them make smart ones when that time comes. But luckily I have a while! :)
