Will you offer BC to your daughter or condoms to your son?

ClaireDunphy · June 2011

Yes.

jacmdb · June 2011

Yes. My mom had "the talk" with me and told me to let her know when I was thinking about sex so we could go together. I actually still felt uncomfortable and went to Planned Parenthood on my own but I am glad we talked about it before hand.

Absolutely. Teaching purely abstinence does not work. Yes, in some scenarios kids abstain, but they should have enough knowledge to make an informed decision and protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy and/or STDs.

Yes, we'll have the talk once it appears as though she knows what's going on with sex, and I'll make it very clear that I'd prefer she be on BC if she thinks she'll be sexually active.

Madisen · June 2011

Not sure yet. We'll be discussing it openly, but not sure yet about supplying him (them) with contraceptives myself yet.

I will. My mom talked about it frequently with me. It wasn't an uncommon or uncomfortable subject at our house. I went on the pill at 16. My parents also told us there was a basket under the bathroom sink that had condoms in. I know I used some of them, but I was also terrified of getting pregnant.

DH parents on the other hand FLIPPED out when they found condoms in his dresser. He was 19 and going to UNF.

Don't you just love this? YOU'RE HAVING SAFE SEX!! OH THE HUMANITY! Sorry...I realize that some people don't believe in pre-marital sex but I'd be happy to know that my 19 yo son was being responsible.

I feel the same way. I know I came from an abstinence only home, which for the most part worked if we disregard my crazy summer when I was 18. I do feel like I'll be able to tell my kids my story and let them make their own decisions, but I don't know if I'll be handing over BC or condoms.

jodippls · June 2011

I went on BCP at 16 b/c of my heavy periods. My mom had the "this doesn't mean you should be having sex" talk and we went about our business. I hope to be very open with my future children and if infeel they need it, I'll provide it.

Soon2BMrsSikes · June 2011

Absolutely, 100%. He better not be knocking anybody up. Even the prettiest, most normal girl can have an STD and I'll tell him his di*k will fall off if he doesn't use protection.

Ok I'm not really going to go that far, but yes, I will give him condoms.

LXLX · June 2011

Yes, absolutely. Yes.

duncanpowers · June 2011

I'll certainly talk to him about it, but like Madisen, I'm not sure I'd buy them for him. My parents took the approach that if you were old enough to need feminine products, you were old enough to buy them yourself, and I'll probably see birth control the same way--if you're old enough to have sex, there's the drugstore.

Kristin&Adam · June 2011

Yes. I agree with your logic DP, but I know a lot of my friends when I was a teenager were horrified at the thought of buying condoms, so they'd just go without. I'd rather know that my kid has access to them if they're going to be sexually active.

But yeah, ask me this again when B is 16.. who knows what I'll say when I actually have a teenager.
