Some girls just don't. I heard that from a boy I know. And oddly enough what brought on the discussion was a story I mentioned to him about a pregnant teenager. I don't get why the girl wouldn't but they don't. I warned my sons about that.Msprekteacher wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 9:17 am I don't have daughters, but if I did I would wonder where I went wrong in the birth control discussion.
However, I wouldn't suggest abortion. I would encourage adoption, or parenting. If she chose parenting (hell even if my boys find themselves in the same position) I would make sure that they availed themselves to all the resources available to help them become the best versions of themselves possible. Part time jobs, child care during school, insurance for the child etc.
If they chose adoption I'd help them find a reputable agency and counselor so that they can be certain of that decision as well.
Wwyd if....

My older dd I would of been shocked. She dated a girl from early junior year till she went away to college. All of high school due to other reasons she was almost always under direct supervision. If it did happen I would of been upset with myself for not getting the message of birth control thru to her. I never would of suggested abortion but I would of supported any decision she made. My younger dd also dated a girl up until about a year ago when she started dating her current boyfriend. she's a few months shy of her 18th birthday now and is on birth control and is very informed on the subject. She's taught me a few things and Im constantly hearing her give her friends advice. i"m pretty sure it won't happen until she wants it to but in the rare chance it does I again would support any decision she made.

Then I guess we would have to deal with it.

I would never bring up abortion. Adoption or raising the baby with our help. I would be sad that she was pregnant. We have talked a lot about birth control and how you need two forms of it if you don't want a baby.
TBH, I think in order for me to say how I would handle the situation, I'd need to be in it.

Same. That is when they need our support more than ever. We would support any decision she made and have her back 100%.

Just curious how old she is now and is she still with the father and/or is he involved with the child? I would also support my DD but be realistic that at that age the girl and her parents will do most of the care.MistressMonster wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 9:23 am Already have been down this road.

She turns 28 tomorrow, and he's now 10. Yes, they are still together all this time later, and happy. We were very realistic about them still being together years later, and it might not be a possibility. We watched him while they were at school. They'd come home, and take care of grandson. Both of them graduated HS with honors.MrsDavidB wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 3:54 pmJust curious how old she is now and is she still with the father and/or is he involved with the child?

The oranges of the island are like blazing fire
Amongst the emerald boughs
And the lemons are like the paleness of a lover
Who has spent the night crying.
My soul was ripped to shreds on 10/27/14
