Teens and Sex

The video is also about abortion. I think this a good conversation with teens about sex and abortion.

But it brought back our sex-ed talks with Matt. Watching this, I was reminded when David and I had to made a common sense decision about the kids sleeping together in their late teens, here in the house. I did not ask them about sex but I knew I wanted them to be safe, at home, and not making out in some random park or beach. They were inseparable. 

I know my friends were aghast but David and I were a united front about keeping them safe and keeping the conversation open with us and the kids. It felt very tricky back then 

On Father's Day dinner I was saying that I thankful David was such a good dad because I was such a horrible mother. Bri said "you were the best mom I ever had, David was a good dad to me too". Well, that took me back but made my heart swell. 

We always hope we made the right choices when raising the kids. But 13+ years later, we are all still here together, trying to muddle through decisions. They have their own girls and I giggle with them and say, I really wish I was going to be around when you two have to make these decisions. ;) Should be interesting.
