HEY YALL! Thanks for the greetings yall gave me the other day.Like I said, I've truly missed yall, especially the talks we've had. I see yall hit on a pretty serious one right now!
Brenda, I feel for you,but I think it's a good thing, that he's trying to be wise about it. In my Jr & Sr yr, I was dealing with all of my Brother's crisis that he sprung onto our family. I was witness to all the struggles of him and his girlfriend having my niece as teenagers totally unprepared. They married, which was a big mistake and it was just a time in all our lives,that was just very rough. I don't think either family on both sides handled it very well.
Back then, my husband and I decided,being as serious as we were, that I was going to go on the pill.I went to planned parenthood, in my Sr. yr, which I felt was a very good decision,considering that through all of that mess, that there was no-one guiding me at all. My parents
were struggling to much with all of that,to think (HELLO),that their other child was in a serious relationship,too.
I grew up pretty quick, during those yrs! I guess, I learned from their mistakes. I do know that None of our parents kept communication lines open back then and I do believe that Commun. is the key.Don't treat them like baby's,keep it very real and never avoid things either!
Brenda, I think it's very good that you've talked to him about it. We as parents, can only guide them in the right direction, then after that they ultimately decide for themselves,right? We did as teenagers! Girl, atleast, you'll know you took those steps with your child.Only time will till on the rest! Pray and keep your fingers crossed!
