What if your junior high or high school daughter came home and told you she was a few months pregnant?
What if your son came home and told you he got a girl pregnant but wasn’t sure he was the father? Then told you that if he wasn’t the father he wanted to be anyway with or without your approval?
What if your child/teen came to you with a confession of having or had multiple sex partners...Would you stick your chest out and applaud your son for having swag or freak out at your daughters promiscuous behavior?
I WOULD TRY TO BE EVEN TEMPERED ABOUT IT, WHETHER IT WAS MY SON OR MY DAUGHTER ! I'D DRIVE HIM/HER TO A SPOT I KNOW UP THE CALIFORNIA COAST, WHERE IT WOULD ONLY BE US TWO, AND I'D EXPLAIN IN LAYMEN'S TERMS WHY THEIR BEHAVIOR COULD AND PROBA...BLY WOULD LEAD TO PROBLEMS IN THEIR LIFE IF THEY CONTINUED ! I WOULD LET THEM KNOW THAT MY ADVICE WAS NOT BASED ON PERSONAL OPINION BUT ON LIFE EXPERIENCE THAT THEY COULD NOT KNOW BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY TIME ON EARTH ! I DO ! I'VE BEEN THEIR AGE ! IF GOD BLESSES THEM, THEY MIGHT LIVE TO SEE MY AGE ! OR BEYOND !
