I got into a debate with my sister yesterday about having sex out of marriage. I was talking to my 17 y/0 daughter who just made it out of high school about sex out of marriage and as a mother I have to tell her what is right not change the truth to suit myself, well my sister got on her horse and started to tell my daughter that it is ok to have sex out of marriage. It led into well I did it and I said yes I did it and if I had to do it all over again, I would wait. Tell me I know in the real world that is a dream and I am proud of my daughter that made it through high school without it, what is your opinion on this.

You should be proud of your daughter. I agree with you, your sister should never had tried to contradict the message you were trying to tell YOUR child. I had sex as a teenager too, but I would tell any child that I was responsible for to wait.

You're welcome.
Cute picture! ;D
My sister and I disagree about child rearing too but there's a line that you just don't cross. I would never tell my niece anything that would be detrimental.

Congrats to your daughter ... what an accomplishment. You are right and your sister really has no business telling her otherwise.
On a side note, great job mom!!!!

I think your sister was out of place. She should have kept quiet UNLESS someone asked her her opinion. I had sex as a teen too (and actually it wasnt as much fun as people made it out to be back then) and I try to stress to my kids the importance of waiting and if not, to protect themselves and whoever they are with.
