Where do I start. Yesturday when I was cleaning my daughters room I came accross a packet of contraceptive pills. (No I wasn't snooping they were pokeing out from under the bed). Anyway, I asked her about them and why she was takeing them (could have been something other than the bleedin obvious) but she replied that she wanted to start sleeping with her boyfried of nearly 12months. My heart sank, she is 16 1/2 and he is just 18. Now i know she is leagally old enough and there is nothing I can do about it if it happens, but I just wonder where the respect is for her from her boyfriend and where her self respect is too. Me being me asked her what she thought about saving herself for a long term partner (how long is long term these days) and if another boyfriend at a later date might think less of her for having already slept with someone. She seems to think that I'm a bit behind the times and nobody bothers about that kind of thing anymore, but I don't know, surely there has got to be standards and morals still somewhere in the big wide world. I didn't get cross with her over this I just felt totaly deflated and sad for her. What can I do other than just forgett about it and move on. My spirits need a lift and I need a hug.
Any advice from mothers who have gone through this would be appreciated.
