Whether those rules are "archaic" or not is a separate issue. It doesn't matter.
I agree to an extent because i was assuming we were talking about bringing the sex into the actual house not a parent making rules for what the child does outside the house.

The belief one should not be having sex before marriage is in my mind archaic. And while a bit contrary to my upbringing *quite liberal household in that respect* i can understand the desire to keep it away from younger children.

A parent is not obligated to support their children past a certain point. They can base that decision on whatever they choose. Whether you or I or anyone else agrees isn't really relevent.

They certainly can but it seems that a parent doing that cares more about looking good to the neighbors/moral values then they do about their kids if you ask me.

What makes you say that? I doubt the neighbors know or care about it.

Moral values are extremely important to us, and one of the reasons is that we care about our future kids. You can feel that it's archaic if you want to, but it doesn't really matter to us what you think.

Depends on where you live really, in some areas what you and your family do can fall under scrutiny.

We care about our kids and moral values are important to us as well. However, another adult does not have to share your moral values whether they are your child or not.

I fail to see what moral values have to do with caring for your children. And is it right to place their importance over the well being of your children?
