Mr. C is also appropriate after they have dated a while I’d think. As an aside, have you or mom had the even more dreadful birth control conversation?

A trip to the clinic to get ‘the pill’ is a silent affair ;)

Sorry in advance if you have different views.

Yeah, she knows. She also knows that if she gets pregnant, there is no turning back, so she won't go there. My son got the same message that we aren't baby killers and it won't happen in this house because of reckless behaviour. One night stands are still happening at that age and younger (way younger) and even girls losing their virginity with guys who are going bare back. She was horrified, so that is a good sign!

Space war coming up.... :eek:

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order directing U.S. agencies to test the vulnerabilities of critical infrastructure systems in the event of a disruption or manipulation of global positioning system services (GPS). From a report:GPS is critical to a variety of purposes ranging from electrical power grids, weather forecasting, traffic signals, smartphone applications and vehicle navigation systems. The order said "disruption or manipulation of these services has the potential to adversely affect the national and economic security of the United States."

So I might the young chap, and my daughter said " this is my dad", and he said "hello, nice to meet you" and that was perfectly fine, phew!

This is so weird, ugh

That reminds me of a friend of mine mentioning he met his daughter's boyfriend because he and his wife were going to be away for a few days and the daughter was going to be there by herself (she was like 17/18 at the time). I was like :eek: you're just OK with that? You're not afraid you'll come back and find her pregnant and he just shrugged and was like, well, I assume I didn't raise her to be stupid

That's a big yikes from me!

He is not totally wrong in his thinking, there really is only so much a parent can do. I used to tell people that parenting ends at 11. If you haven't setup the foundation by that age, you may very well be screwed, or there may be a lot of missteps that can get very messy, and very aggravating.

Why 11? Around that age, you can basically let them out of your sight a little bit. For instance, in the middle of the day, they can go to the neighborhood park that is a few hundred meters away. Parks are the breeding grounds, or the testing grounds, to see what kind of brain you have helped develop with your kid. I have seen it first hand with my son, and my youngest. They were mortified by choices their friends made at that age. The swearing, profanity, bullying, doing dangerous things, being peer pressured to go to a further park, etc...and they all passed those tests!

Then, it only gets more liberating. Sleepovers. Play dates. Meeting Mary and Jenna at the park, be back for dinner. Just going to the Quickie to hang out. Etc...if the foundation is strong, the rest of the structure will be too!

My son who is 18, I have been telling him the last year, that there really isn't much left in the "getting in trouble" with your parents going on much. Getting grounded is a very rare occurrence at that age. You get yourself in trouble, and there ain't no band aids that will fit over those boo boos. He knows how expensive his car insurance is, the consequences to choices he makes. I have harped on him to use me, use my experience, use my wisdom, and then make your own choice. Try to not go it alone. We are basically life coaches and advisors now!

Don't worry, I've got a two and a half year old girl... I get all of this to look forward to eventually!

I just hope that she still likes daddy at that age.

I have a 2.5 year old boy now as well.... given the character of his older sisters, I think he’ll be a well adjusted boy on the girl front.

She’ll adore her daddy as a teenager, and forever after. :)

I mentioned this forever ago, but I ended up getting a sweet deal on a 2002 Audi S8. See you on the highway @Ice-Tray :thumbu:

Until it breaks down and the only sourceable parts come from an impoverished 3rd world country who are under the thumb of a tyrannical dictator!
