I still would not do it.

It is not good role modeling.

Remember, your kids will do as you do and not as you say.

Totally sends all the wrong messages -- can't you wait to bring lovers home for a few more years when the kids are out of the house?

I would not bring a man home overnight with children that ages.

It's not a good example. If you are engaged, maybe...but you aren't engaged.

I don't understand, what wrong message does it send?

Think back to when you were 12 -- did your mother have some man that wasn't your father in her bed?

This is what motels are for -- unless he has a place available for these rendevous.

Would you want your daughter to sleep with her husband, the man who laid his life down to commit to her or basically just be some guy's unpaid wh***?

No, because my parents were still married. If they were divorced (and the kind of people who were ok with sex before marriage) then I would expect that. That's what adults do when they're in relationships - they have sex, its not exactly going to be a shock to a 12 year old

Since when is the option only between marriage and an unpaid *****? I fully intend to encourage my daughter to have proper relationships before marriage, including sleeping together and living together, that's not being an unpaid *****, that's being in an adult relationship.

You did not answer my question.
Which would you prefer for your daughter?

Ring and a date, baby. Otherwise the adage about the cow and milk still hold true.
Trying to clean up bad behavior with the old chestnut "everyone else does it" does nothing to further your argument.

What do you want for your daughter?

Actually 12 year olds know other people have sex. What is weird to 12 year olds is that their own mother has sex -- it's kind of an "ewww" even when they think of their mother having sex with their own father. Coming home late is one thing or taking a weekend trip -- but having sex with some guy in the kids' own home when the kids are there isn't a good idea at all. Hearing or even just knowing their mom going at it with some guy in the room next to them isn't what a 12 or 19 year old needs.

I did answer the question, I want her to experience adult relationships before settling down in marriage (if she even wants to do that, marriage isn't essential). I would have no issue with her having casual sex either if that's what she wants to do when she is an adult - that wouldn't make her an unpaid ***** either. You seem to have a messed up view of relationships if you think the only options are marriage or whoredom.
