Do you use profanity like that around your kids?
In any case, revealing how promiscous you were on a public forum for the whole world to see says a lot about you.
No, but my kids dont make a habit of frequenting parenting forums. The extent of their computer usage is one draws pictures on ms paint and sets them as the desktop background and the other tries to eat the mouse.
Im open about it because im not ashamed of myself. I dont think that sex should be something that is shoved in a dark corner never to be spoken about, I was also a burlesque dancer, again, I have no shame in revealing that. Its a part of life, and its a part of life that many young people are very confused about because so many people shove it deep in a dark corner. Thats how I started out, I wanted in on this horrible forbidden thing, I wanted to be rebellious and go against what all the teachers were saying and be the 'cool kid' I was just lucky enough to have a dad who cottoned on very quickly and said "Right, she's doing it, I may aswell make sure she's safe"
Believe me, ive done alot of very stupid things in my life, but keeping my mouth shut about them and pretending they never happened dosent get anyone anywhere, you can be sure that when my girls are at the age where theyre going to have sex on their brain, theyre going to know the facts, and yeah, I probably will throw in the whole "Yeah you know what, mum actually knows what she's talking about here" thing. Sheltering them isnt going to do them any good.
