And of course, lets tip the hat to all of the wonderful parents who willfully neglect their child's sexual education, leaving it instead to the school system & peer-to -peer confessions.
I have always been frank & honest with my children about sex & make sure they have access to condoms & birth control through me. I do tell them that its not my consent to 'go nuts' but its there if needed. Have I given my kids the wrong message? Perhaps, but hopefully my child won't be the one coming home from school at sixteen telling me she's pregnant or has an STD. I refuse to be so naive as to think kids don't think/talk/have sex.
