@sevensong I'm so sorry you went through that & I hope you're doing better now

@sevensong That's a really good point & I do think my imagination gets away from me sometimes. I definitely need to keep that in check!

@sevensong I don't think they've necessarily overdone it but I came downstairs once & she was laying on top of him on the couch with a blanket over them & it made me feel so awkward. I think I will set a boundary that any major PDA will happen in her room

@laurapalooza I do make a point to do that. I go out of my way to give them privacy. I try not to walk by whatever room they're in unless I have to.

@yusha This is her first close relationship so we are both treading new waters here & trying to figure things out as we go. We've talked about sex, now we just need to talk about boundaries in the house

She does do her laundry half the time but between school & work she doesn't have a lot of free time. I WFH so I offer to do hers. She's known how to do laundry herself since she was...

@vonhelton Unfortunately I tried to talk to my daughter this evening & I failed miserably. I didn't explain myself well & she ran to her room crying. Sigh. This is so hard

So my daughter is 17 and a senior in high school. She's had a few boyfriends but it never lasted long. She's a couple months into her first serious relationship. Her and I have had discussions about sex. She's been on birth control for a couple years due to her periods and recently just...
