I have a 15 year old daughter who is dating a 16 year old boy. I'm a single mom of 4 years now and I've recently allowed him to go to my daughters room with the door open. Felt that I could trust her but just walked in on her and she had her top off. They both panicked and got embarrassed when I walked in. I told her to get dressed and come down to me but she wouldn't. Went up and talked to them both. Told them I'm disappointed and hurt that she's lost my trust now. I thought we had a good relationship, open, and talk about things but now I think I've been to trusting and worried how to handle this.

Beginning to explore sexuality is quite natural around that age - I'd go less on the broke my trust route, but rather talk to her about the birth control options and the emotional ramifications of having sex. Explain why you would prefer her to wait longer. Maybe talk about any regrets you have over your own choices. I wouldn't ban the boy from the house but perhaps have bedrooms for the time being off limits, they can have the living room or kitchen when hanging out. This doesn't stop them from going to his room in his house, so I'd make talking talking talking your goal. Do not alienate her if you can help it.
