Did it ever occur to you that not every teen is ready to sleep w/ the first guy that comes around? My daughter has already told me she's not just going to give it away and knows that God has someone very special for her. It's a matter of her personal convictions.
I have been very suprised to see how blase so many posters seem to be in regards to catching a child having sex in their house. In our house it is not okay, it has not been okay since day one, and the kids all know this. I of course cannot control what my kids do outside my house but I can definately set boundries on what is done in my house and then just hope and pray they make the right decisions when they are not home. Sex can have very serious consequences that most teens are not ready for, we have told our kids you really shouldn't be having sex with someone you could not see yourself having a future with, since birth control does and has failed.

It occurs to me that often teens have sex or sexual encounters regardless of what they tell their parents or their parents feel on the subject . And yes there are a portion who will wait but it's the exception not the rule.

Because what difference is it going to make if you catch them and pitch the ***** over it? They will still have sex just not in your house is all . The best thing you can do is to explain the risks that come with sex and give them good access to protection.
LOL sorry I'm too mature for crayons, unlike someone else who is telling others to hibernate and pickup art utencils for children.
I already made my point and there's no changing your mind, let's hope you don't end up in court for anything because with your ideology that "anybody with half a brain would know what I meant" won't fly too well with whatever judge you're facing
That trail you're leaving is really starting to stink up the place. Man, smell that STENCH, ew....
I guess my response to the OP should have been written in STUPID, so the people with small brains could grasp a broader, more generalised scenario. I guess I shouldn't have made it too hard to understand for the little people who have to dissect every little sentence, so they can try to fathom some kind of remote comprehension on the subject.
Buy two packs of jumbo crayons, just in case you break the first set.
Do you have a substantive argument or is this the best response you could manage?
I think it speaks volumes. Do you think you can manage to comprehend it? Oh, and here is a little message that I left for that THING that felt sorry for you and felt she had to take up your poor pitiful cause and keeps leaving piles of stench all throughout this thread. It applies to you too...

And while you're lumbering toward that cave, get a muzzle!

Because if there were rules and respect between parents and their kids, the chances of the kid making the decision to have sex in their parents house would be limited, that was what the OP was about.
If there are no set boundries and no rules then of course kids feel like they can do whatever they want, and in that case then I guess a parent should just close the door and walk away and not make a big deal out of it.
Despite what some people seem to think, kids do need boundries and rules, they will have rules and boundries in school and in the workforce. I have already said I don't really care how someone chooses to raise their children, I will raise mine my way, and since it has worked really well for me for over 25 yrs I am pretty confident that what I am doing works. My kids all seek advice from both their father and I and all are very candid with us in regards to anything, so I feel like we have established a lifestyle that works well for us.

No you should make a big deal if like the original parent you had established your child is not to do that under your roof. And you already established that to your children so i could see you getting upset. But many many parents not only don't have a sex talk with their kids....but don't even mention the consequences of them doing it in their house and geek out when they find it happening, that was the point i was more trying to get across.

My curiosity has peaked and I wonder how many of those who replied to this particular thread have children who are at an age that they could be having sex?
