where do i draw the line?

between being an old naggy mother & a sensible one? DD1 who's 13 has had a boyfriend for about 6 months- he's the same age as her. Have had a little chat with her about being sensible, waiting for the right one etc. The longer she goes out with him the more worried I am that they'll take they'll take the next step iyswim. My friend did mention to me that I should talk to her about the pill but I dont want to go ahead & give her the green light if that makes sense. She's only 13. At the same time, I remember being nearly 14 & thinking I knew it all & my bf had a baby at 14. When I was 14 my boyfriend was 18 & I becase I had no intention of doing anything I couldnt work out why my mum wasn't too keen! Any mums had a similar dilema?

KathH, she needs to be supplied with condoms and put on the pill. It doesn't mean you are encouraging it. It means you are being realistic and sensible.
