I hear you loud and clear, I grew up in a very strict "thou shall not talk about such evils of life" environment. I also know I was young once and thought ooooooooo if it that bad I must investigate. I think an education and preparedness and open communication is the only way to be. They may rebel, squirm, and even whine a bit but they are still too young not to have guidence, which can make all the difference in the world.

You wouldn't send a pilot up in the skies without ever having trained him to fly so why send your son or daughter out into "loveland" without ever having provided them with relevant information! At the end of the day, kids are gonna be kids, and the majority of the time pleasure will prevail so its up to parents to be realistic and not "ignorant". Safety should always be the name of the game... pregnancy is but a fraction of possibilities.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00020031746525080078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752231699010773376.post-43729935533435035592009-06-19T12:56:12.670-07:002009-06-19T12:56:12.670-07:00But I believe in being open with children, too, so...But I believe in being open with children, too, so I would tell mine that a couple of condoms in a purse or a drawer should be plenty, and to not stuff pillows full of them unless they want people to get the wrong impression about them.<br /><br />PussDaddyPussDaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16980599321761107659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752231699010773376.post-63207722717607093342009-06-19T12:53:56.355-07:002009-06-19T12:53:56.355-07:00I think the condom pillows are cute.

But then again in high school I was part of a program where I taught other students the importance of "wrapping it up" so to speak. :Dmiznychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13706176560091144759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752231699010773376.post-90361583916621422622009-06-19T07:06:57.943-07:002009-06-19T07:06:57.943-07:00I believe in being open with your children about E...I believe in being open with your children about EVERYTHING and sex and protection is NO exception to this rule! I'm afraid that the kids who aren't educated on the matter are the ones who get into "trouble" way too early in life! *sigh* Times are hard for young people... let's not make it that much harder with our ignorance! And you are so right... those kids have hormones that no fear will control!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00838997136573083008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752231699010773376.post-48055373391088505802009-06-19T05:52:38.333-07:002009-06-19T05:52:38.333-07:00Oh, I am so totally with you.
