What, if anything, do you plan to teach/tell your kids about sex? I don't know if this would be fine in the call room or if it really belongs here, so I'll leave it here, because a debate could ensue!
I had no communication with my parents about sex when I was growing up. I learned as I went along and from peers.....I always wished my mom and I could have had a frank, comfortable discussion about sex. Since my husband wasn't my first, I would have appreciated somebody (like my mom) also telling me that there were good reasons to wait (whether it would have changed my decision making, who knows, but it would have been good to "have it out there")
With all this in mind, I REALLY plan to talk to my daughter pretty openly about sex. I guess the main thing I hope to do is let her know I'm available to talk...my mom didn't even do this...geez, I was so embarassed about getting a bra or wanting to get one that I left my mom a note under her pillow to ask her!! I don't ever want my daughter to feel this shy/embarassed. The funny thing is, I think she still has that note!!! So what do you guys think?
