Not sure where this belongs, but I think parenting is about the right place. How has everyone dealt with sex with their kids? Is it a priority in terms of expectations?
I think it is amazing to think that you can shelter your kids so much that they wouldn't even kiss before they got married. I kissed a girl in 5th grade for the first time. My parents had no idea. I don't think I turned out so bad....
Pushing your kids to have a chaste courtship is insane to me. I think education and understand is the best way.
How did you go about educating your kids about sex, or how do you plan on doing it?
My daughter is 10 and in 4th grade. While I am not super excited to talk to her about sex, I let her lead the discussion and am always open and honest with her and encouraging of her to talk to me if she has questions. She asked me last week when I would let her start dating and I told her thirty, hahahah. I will never tell her she can't do anything, but will hopefully teach her to make good decisions.
I don't remember my mom being that way at all; what I do remember is not wanting to talk to her about anything, puberty, boys, etc. I don't want that relationship with my daughter.
