Why'd you lie?
...because I knew you'd say no.
Hmmm.

I'm taking 5...
...collecting my thoughts, breathing...I haven't got angry yet. Actually quite calm. She's simpering in the bathroom at the moment, quite upset for having lied to me. Or is it for getting caught...again? Hmmm?
Boo effing hoo.

I agree...
...and that point is when she is an adult...self supporting, on her own, at the very least off to school and off my radar screen.

My thoughts on teen sex:Larry Gude said:
If you have to sneak around and lie to your parents, you're not old enough to be having sex. Adults just stay the night with their paramour, with no permission needed. Honestly, I'd have more respect for her if she'd just say, "Look, Dad, I'm staying at Boyfriend's house tonight," and end of story. You say "No you're not!" and her reply would be, "I wasn't asking. I was telling you so you wouldn't worry."
That would be more mature, in my opinion. But don't tell her I said that - she has to come up with it on her own or it doesn't count.

Exactly. About the only thing my kids did that really irritated me was lie. I always told them they could pretty much do anything but lie. And a phone call is always expected if they weren't coming home....son (24) still calls and he only lives at home half of the time.
Yeah, Larry. Why don't you let him stay with her at your house? That way you won't have to wonder where she is!cattitude said:

And there we have it...
...a part of the transitional stage from child to parent.
I told trust is all that matters to me. She hasn't ginned up the nerve, therefore...

You know what I mean.
Unless the boy is forbidden from Larry's home, afternoon delight is just as good. I guess I would just get tired of fighting with them over everything..spending the night, clean room, lying...
And, in my opinion, it's not productive anyway...just keeps everyone upset and resistant to any communication or cooperation.

Bull effing ####....
...I oughta hook you up with her mom. She thinks birth control is the parents responsibility too.
Pete said:I would stand down in the bathroom and watch her take the birth control pill everyday. Sometimes I might even make her take 2 if the BF is scuzzy.

Her boyfriend is a nice enough kid - a couple of years older than her. I might be tempted to have a talk with *him* about the Rules for Dating My Daughter.Pete said:I would stand down in the bathroom and watch her take the birth control pill everyday.

I don't think parents should have anything to do with their child's birth control. In the immortal words of my genuis SIL, if you're a big enough woman to have sex, you're a big enough woman to take precautions or suffer the consequences.

I still lie to my mom and probably will till the day that I die. It's much easier to gum up a lie that makes her happy opposed to listening to her opinion/avice on whatever topic is at hand. And nooooo, I don't offer up lies or initiate the conversations. Only when asked a direct question.

I would much rather deal with that than scouring the classifieds for a daycare that will take a newborn, loaning her the money for it because it is $200 a week and Outback doesn't pay waitresses enough and listening to her cry about what a douche bag the BF turned out to be because now he wont return her calls and wont send money.Larry Gude said:
On a side note "douche bag" is in my spell checker

I can't decide...
...if he's a putz for lying to me (terrible liar BTW) or if it was chivalrous to lie to cover her.
Al said he called her right after I got done with him and said "He knows! I lied and now I feel like an idiot"
I was even calm.

Right now...
....she'll stay at home, raise baby in an, if nothing else, stable environment and work at the greenhouse all night long with daddy, at the point of a gun if need be, with Granville II on my knee.
