If she wants to have sex...and you dont allow her to have a boyfriend, I believe that she will find a way to have alone time with him and have sex. You can tell your child til your blue in the face...use a condom, that doesnt mean shes going to make him put one on. I feel bad for everyone involved in that family. Hopefully she will be a great mom (yes I do believe at 16 that is possible) |
I agree with you in general and that's why I was never quick to blame the mother for Brittany. However, once you allow your 16 yr old to move in with her boyfriend, IMO you are announcing to the world loud and clear that you don't have a clue how to be a mother.
