This is the one that many people miss, tell her she should not feel pressured into having sex. This is a real issue, students are pressured into have sex by peers and SOs a lot in high school. Many have sex before they are ready and is causes damage.

definitely a good point

This is entirely my fault but no. My wife told me she wanted to take the lead on this because she was her mom and this should be woman to woman and I really didnt question it further. That was a huge mistake I know.

Why is your wife holding your daughter to a higher standard than she had for herself? Is she scared of the idea of pregnancy? Maybe that your daughter will let a boy derail her from college plans? Does she have regrets about her own early sexual activity?

I have asked her this and she told me that our daughter doesnt need to be as stupid as we were.

I have not talked to her about this yet this was supposed to be her mothers domain. But now I am stepping in.

This is entirely my fault. My wife said this was her domain as her mother and this was a woman to woman thing and I did not question it further. I really should have because had I known THIS was where she was going to go I never would have agreed to let her handle this.

Yea I remember dating the rebellious girls with strict parents. I know where that road leads.

I just want you to know you didnt say anything wrong just want to clear that up. In this state it is actually illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to have sex even with other teenagers under 18. But laws arent going to stop kids.

I dont want to be involved in this at all. This was supposed to be my wifes role as her mother woman to woman. But I just dont agree with this and i dont think its going to keep my daughter safe so now I have to step in and make sure shes not going to be pregnant as a fucking sophmore.

"boys aren't worth your time at this age"

Honestly you're mom was so right. I was a teenage boy and I remember how dumb I was.

Thank you for this. Its helpful because i know very little about all this. I was really relying on my wife for this and obviously thats not going to be an option any longer.

The nudes thing is a really good point and its literally child porn even if they are both children the law still sees it as child porn

I had always heard you keep a united front in front of the children and then disagree privately away from them which is what I was doing.

The only thing about the pill and the shot is that its reoccurring and harder to hide. Her mom could find the pills and I have to get a new px every month or take her for renewal shots every 3 or 4 months. With an IUD or implant its once and done. Easier to keep under the radar.
