Need some parenting help.....

[simplepeddler]

First of all......if you have no child in your home now, like yours or one that was given to you to help raise.....(Remember God gave his own son to another man to raise, Dink and I have said this before the step dad thing is a huge deal when you look at from this point of view) then really it's hard to take an opinion seriously. I mean that with a ton of respect for all you guys, really. But life is different when you have your own, you all hopefully be blessed enough to understand that one day.

Dink you have your hands full.
I do not think a child, regardless of sex, is mentally mature enough to have sex at 13.
Let him know you know in a soft way, let him know how to protect himself from HIV and sorted other STD's, protection from pregnancy is protecting you and mom as much if not more than him. HE and SHE will likely NOT be raising the chance of a child of this poor decision making.

There is no way in hell I would even come close to saying it's alright.
Let him now you understand you cannot watch him 100% of the time, then let him know it's about respect. Would he respect these young girls later.

Being a gentleman is a far cry from today's definition of a man.
These things disturb me really.

And for what's it's worth, I have my first grandchild coming, out of wedlock, from my bonus boy, who was having sex at 14 cause his dad thought he was the man........yea and he is around now to help........yea.......in another life time.

Take your roll as serious as penis cancer here Dink. The boy is lucky to have you, we all see that here on this board, hopefully he will too.
