am i being unreasonable

[tinky78]

hi guys,i would really vaule your opinions on this please.
i have a daughter who is 16,she has a boyfirend who shes been with for around 6 months,hes 17,i when to the doctors with her to get the pill,she has bad skin and was told that it would help plus she has very heavy monthlys. This morning i have found an empty condom packet in her bedroom,do u guys think ive ended up giving he the go ahead by putting her on the pill? Her boyfriend is asian and im not sure what his parents would feel about this. Am i over reacting? Thank you!

She’s 16 and in a relationship, sex was almost certainly inevitable. Sounds like they are being very sensible doubling up on contraception.

What on earth is him being Asian got to do with anything?

They are 2 teenagers over that age of consent, in a relationship, who have had consensual sex after planning it and taking the right precautions.

Maybe time to stop mooching about her room and allow her some privacy.

you should be thankful they had the sense to use condoms!

I ment culturally! not because of him being a different race.

It’s normal to feel a bit anxious at the idea of your teenage DD growing up and being sexually active - but she’s clearly being safe and sensible, which is great news. There’s very little parents can do to persuade teenagers not to have or to have sex - they’re going to regardless and it sounds like she has her head screwed on. I don’t think what her boyfriend’s parents might think is your problem or business. Even if he’s from a cultural and religious background where he’d be expected to marry an Asian woman that’s well into the future, they’re currently teenagers in their first proper relationship, let them live in the here and now.

She doesn't need your 'go ahead' she is of the age of consent.

She is on the pill and using condoms so is being very sensible.

It really doesn't matter what her boyfriends parents think, he is also above the age of consent.

She's being very sensible and responsible. They both are by the sound of it.

She's over the age of consent so doesn't need your "go-ahead" at all. She's on the pill and they are clearly using condoms.

The fact that he is of Asian descent is neither here nor there.

Stay out of it.
