I am fine with education about anatomy and reproduction (biology).
I am not cool with any discussion of contraception... that is my job.

My son's best friend is a good boy and I like his family. The only thing that REALLY bothers me is that at age 12 he seems very serious about his girlfriend. And it appears to be strongly encouraged by both families. I point out frequently to my son that serious relationships at this age simply shouldn't be the norm.

I just walked in from the middle school. A boy was late, why you ask, he was at his girlfriends and didn't have his alarm. :eek: WHAT??!! One person asked a question, which I didn't catch, but I caught his answer, "my mom says I am a playa" Again, WHAT???????
Parents. :faint

Instead of spanking the kid or punishing him I think they should be spanking the parent. Oh wait, they might like it! :runaway

First to comment on Madea's comment..I completely agree! My son has a girlfriend (same girl for the 2nd time) Yesterday was their 1 month anniversary...my response, big deal...his, I need to get her a gift, she kinda expects it. My response..give her a hug and say happy anniversary lol I then had that same talk with my son that at this age(13)...a serious relationship is not a norm. Now it's ok if you really wanna get her a cutesie small gift or something, but not because she expects it or because she told you to...that comes when your married..hahahaha (j/k I didn't tell him that) anyways he got her a cute little small gift and a card that said I like hanging out with you, which I thought was cute. He then said I'm gonna tell her not to expect something every single month, maybe when 6 months rolls around if we make it that long...I said well okie dokie then.

now to comment on SD's : OOHHHH MMMMMMGGGGGGEEEEEEEE are you kidding me? what parent let's their middle school kid spend the night at a girlfriends or boyfriends house? seriously? Both his and the girls parents needs a big dose of reality! And the kid actually said, my mom says I am a playa....wow!
 
According to a snippet I saw, the new guidelines will also introduce your child to gay/lesbian relationships. ;)

Now, we've already discussed this at home, but I'd love to know more about what they will be telling 5th grade children.

Girl, you know my mouth was wide open! :confused
I am not sure if I need to thank God, myself, my husband, people my child was around, probably all of the above, but really, really thankful he is the person he is.
 
I would have just stood there in shock staring at the kid like he was an alien or something lol I to am thankful my girl is the way she is! We are very blessed parents ;D

SO TRUE!!! Abstinence was taught to me by my mother and I was a virgin till I married. I teach that to my kids as well. There is a program that is offered called True Love Waits and my daughter went through that program in our youth group at church and she very proudly wears a purity ring that says true love waits. She has had girls ask why on earth she would wear that ring and she proudly tells them, why would you not? why would you give up the most precious gift you will ever give to someone? to someone you don't love? Why not wait? There is a guy in her chorus class who also wears a purity ring, and girls "try" to date him and see if they can push him to give it up....what's that tell ya about some of our kids?? He and my daughter call each other purity buddies..lol

Excellent. (But, seriously, WTH is wrong with people where these girls try to get him to "give it up"? Ye gods.

The parenting problems start long before the teen years and I blame parents not Hollywood. Just because a program is on tv does not mean that kids need to watch it. Just because a movie is in the theaters does not mean that kids need to see it. And just because hoochie clothes are available in kids sizes does not mean that they have to wear them. Why do 6 year olds need to leave the house wearing make up, bootie shorts, and high heels? Why do parents allow their 8 year olds to be taught to "bump and grind " in their dance classes and then do those dances on a stage in front of an audience?

Preach it, sister!!!

My sister teaches fifth grade in another state.

Last week she could not hardly even finish a lesson on the digestive system,
because the kids were cracking up everytime she would say the word "anus."

Fifth grade is not the time nor place for any discussion of sexual orientation.
At that age children cannot understand their own sexuality, let alone that of others.

Children should be taught that being a bully for any reason is just plain unacceptable.
 
I dont understand why people just dont do what I did. Its very easy and very painless. I gave my children the sex talk when they were 6 months old. I told them everything and by everything, I mean everything and even some stuff I learned in Thailand and Singapore. My daughter is now 8yo and isnt pregnant and my son is 11yo and hasnt knocked anyone up yet. That may be because he's a little fruity though, I dont know. Either way, the stastics prove that my way works.
