And you wonder why kids are so ****ed up these days!

If Mommy does it, she would be a BIG hypocrite telling her kids that sexting is WRONG!

So, you better be honest and tell them that it is normal to do this and you better not be ANGRY at them if you catch them doing the same a few weeks from now.

Nothing really wrong with what you did (I would never have done it myself), but what is really wrong is the relationship you have with your 16 year old. I think this should be a "Parenting" thread instead of a relationship thread. You may get the parenting help you need from the regulars there.
Well, 16 and 14 year old don't need a "mommy", but they do need a mom they can respect

Missy has to thread carefully to maintain that respect without letting them guilt her.

Good luck in repairing the relationship with your 16 year old.
Honey we are already going to counseling, I am sure it will be addressed there.

If you can't see the difference between a happily married husband and wife doing this n the convines of a committed marriage, as opposed to TEENAGERS acting inappropriate with anybody and everybody they might date, I feel sorry for you

You don't need internet...just the ability to send SMS/MMS (text/picture) messages.

Mommy is an adult, in a monogamous, loving relationship with her husband. Big difference between that and a 16 yr old sending nudie pics to her "boyfriend" of 4 weeks.

You don't need the internet on your phone to send a picture.

But good for you on the location of the computer.

I disagree, they need to know that married adults can do things that unmarried teens should not do. Parents can have sex, doesn't make it Ok for a 16yo.
