lol...whoa! Don't lump me in there with that generalization. Not all parents are as out of tune with with their kids as this dad is. I'm sorry, but these kids having sex on a regular basis and not being caught is mind boggling.
Parents should know what their kids are doing 24/7. They should know who they are with, who is supervising, what they are eating...etc.
Of course the girl is promising that she'll never have sex again! She feels bad! Not that she did it, but that she got busted and disappointed her parents. Once that feeling goes away, the genie is indeed out of the bottle.
I definitely would keep tabs on your kid (even IF she wasn't having sex) at all times. No going out on dates alone with guys until they are at a responsible age - i.e. until they leave home! :-P Who cares if she thinks it's unfair...she's underage and clearly not ready to be making her own decisions for a Loooooong time. |
