parenting what to expect
Don’t you find it rather fascinating how so many parents expect/want their kids to wait until marriage?
I just asked a question and many of the responses mentioned how they want their daughter to wait until marriage. Don’t fool yourselves. Only 10 percent of people wait and even if I do want to wait until marriage, I really don’t expect that for my children. What do you alll think?
I don’t have a scientific study, but A LOT of parents mention how they want their kids to wait; more than 10% thats for sure
I don’t expect my daughter to wait for marriage, I expect my daughter to wait for love. If she is in a long term relationship and is in love with the man (or woman, if she chooses), then I’m fine with her having sex. I ideally want her to wait until she is of age, but if she is underage, I still want her to tell me so I can help her get birth control and I can take her to the doctor. I want to be open with my daughter, so she can tell me when she’s having sex, and I can talk with her about the risks and consequences of sex.
I’m a young mother myself, I had her at 16, so I know how hard it can be to be a teen mother, and I would like my daughter to not have to face those challenges. In the end, I just want her to be happy, and if waiting for marriage makes her happy, then so be it, I’m fine with that.
