to not expect to discover my daughter is 'In a relationship' from Facebook?

[AtYourCervix]

And then have her fall over laughing when I ask if she'd like to invite him for tea?

There was me htinking we had a lovely open relationship and expecting her to tell me everything and turns out she's a normal bloody teenage after all.

I have embarassed her offered to provide condoms in the bathroom and monthly chlamydia tests.

Oh, if she's changed her status, it must be serious!

YABU and not hip and with it. You should be down with the kids like me

invited him to tea

and she won't tell me what his parents do or where they live or their phone numbers or anything.

Monthly chlamydia tests? Maybe 3 monthly - monthly a bit OTT? How old is she? If you found out from facebook then she obviously isn't too worried about you knowing. Most teenagers are a bit secretive - and they're entitled to have privacy and need it the same as we do. It doesn't sound like you have anything to worry about tbh.

Have you asked what his father does for a living, and which church they attend?

She's 15.

Oh fucking hell she better not become a statistic.

I'm going to have to make some rules. I don't do rules. What will I need?

You have the sex talk, that if it becomes serious and they wish to whatevers you will take her to the doctor to get the pill.

I'm so hip and with it I was lookinh for the 'like' button! Go me.

You're doing a good job, she sounds normal. Never ask what the parents do... ever ever ever, she'll tell you if she thinks its relevant, she won't tell you because she'll probably think you'll judge, especially if the answer is 'nothing but drink special brew'.

Rule number 1: Not under my roof.

I asked DS1 if he'd like to invite his new girl-friend over for Sunday lunch.

The look I got would have curdled milk.

Is it for real or is a bit it of fun?

My DD is "married to xxxxxxx"
Went to xxxxxxx high school
And "works at Asda"

She's 13 and still at school

As far as I know!

Probably a bit late for "rules" now if she has never had any .

lol pink, same here! Dd3 (13) apparently lives in The Jungle, Florida and works as a toilet cleaner at Poundland

take her for work for the day? Then she won't need the condoms on account every time he touches her she'll yelp and cower in the corner fingers crossed to ward of the evil of pregnancy and childbirth

Rule number 1: Not under my roof

Bupcakes Why would the OP's daughter want to do it under your roof?

honeydragon I was about to make a similar observation.

cervix I have always found 'one foot on the floor at any time' to be a useful rule.
Also, 'don't use my lube' to be just good manners.
Please provide flavored condoms (da yooofs like flavored things...alcopops eg)

WE neva 'ad a roof wen I wuz a teenager . we 'ad bak of bike sheds.

cervix are you not a midwife?

You can deliver at home

I wonder whether buppy is running an illicit frootshoot and pastie den...but draws the line at fornicating teens?

My plan so far (which appears to be working) is to describe in graphic detail what I deal with daily. I also go for the 'so open mided you embarass them' method.

I'm no good at rules. they just make me people want to rebel and break them.

but then i'm the first to admit i'm a bit crap at this parenting lark. you jus think you are getig your head around it and it's making sense and then suddenly the start a new and more challenging phase, or turn into an unfathomable teenager or something.

In a relationship at 15 is soooo sweet...[heart]

My two are under 5 I am dreading all this.

does anyone else have the GF/BF who turns up at the door, says hello, dissapears up to Dc room emerges later that evening says goodbye and thats it! DS1 (18) has had a GF for a few months now and I swear I have seen her only as she passes from front door to room. suggested that we get to know her a bit so invite her into the front room and was met with an incredulous look from DS1.
