My 14 year old daughter went out to the cinema last night with her friends and my mobile charger packed in so decided to go and hunt hers down (not an easy task in a teenagers room) Hunted high and low and tidied up a bit as I went along and came across a box of durex, in her school bag, with the three durex still in the box. Well you can imagine how shocked I was and what I was thinking, and wondering how to approach this with my baby girl!!!!! Anyway when she got home and said hi, are you OK, I said no and told her what I had found. Straight away she informed me that they had all been given them in her sex education class in school. I dont doubt this as she was too quick to answer and would not have thought of something that quick off the top of her head (belive me she is not that clever!!) So what are the schools doing encouraging 14 year olds to use condoms without consent, after all I am only her parent. I understand that they have to teach teens etc about this and the risk of pregnancy but surely there is a more suitable way of doing this than handing out free condoms for them to try. I have a meeting with the school on Friday and will be raising my concerns about this. What are your thoughts on this matter, are you as appauled as I am?
Just wondering on what your thoughts are on social network sites like facebook and bebo etc as my children have both joined social network sites but I only agreed to let them join on the understanding that I have their passwords so can check at anytime to make sure they arnt talking to anyone they shouldnt be, it seems that lots of children now use them and while i do have one myself that I have only ever used to chat to people I know personally a lot of people tend to add friends that they have met through the site both mine and my childrens have privacy settings set but I am still wary of letting my children go on them and check regular plus as computer is in kitchen I can keep an eye on what they are doing when they are online.
I find it quite sad to see so many older people not being able to pay their fuel bills, as they are so worried about the next bill, I really think they should get higher benefits as most of them would have worked all of their lives, please tell me what you think?
Do you live with someone or know someone who has the most irritating way of doing something? My husband (bless 'im) made my dinner for when i got in from work. Lovely thought you may say and you would be right, but................. When I go into the kitchen he has used just about every pan, bowl, knife and plate that we have. That means the washing up is not just overflowing the sink, it is on the window sill too!! He also manages to spill food etc all over the floor and wipes it up with the tea towel. Am I being ungrateful? It seems more hard work when he does this "thoughtful act" as I am the one who has to clear all the mess up. Should I just put up and grit my teeth or tell him not to bother...............in a kind way of course :)
I am in my 50th year (notice how i could not say fifties) cause i am only just there. My girfriend before christmas told me her daughter was gay. She cdould not believe the response i had because it just does not bother me. Christmas day i had 2 male friends over that were gay. I heard a lot of talk afterwoods but everyone respected them whilst i was there. Is this the day and age we are coming to. When people are so different from other people. My friends treated them with the utmost respect. Which was just fantastic. But do we have to think like that always. No. I am not gay but i love my friends and i have quiet a few of them who are gay and will always love them no matter what anyone else thinks!!!!!
I've been using the site for a few days now and I've noticed that it seems that there is a lot more girls using the site that guys. Was just wondering if anybody else had noticed this and had any opinions on it :)
A friend of my son`s just googled his postcode ,and there in the garden his wife is busy hanging out the washing . My postcode shows our little wonky willow ,and next doors caravan .The house has "come out" quite nice ,the daffodils can be seen along the side of the path and all looks tidy .It`s a shame the pictures couldn`t have been a bit later ,as the caravan has since been sold .We watched the Google -Van come past ,and had expected it all to be blurred ,he sped past so quickly . Have you googled your postcode ,I am quite happy with our result .
I dont believe it i have just has a load of money taken from my account and the bank are so relaxed about it, they even told me to enjoy the rest of my evening, keeping in mind that they told me that my card had likely been cloned and that the criminals may have my address etc. Unfortunatly there isnt a lot i can do about it and just have to wait untill they can see where the money has gone. Have any of you had a similar experience? If so what happened?
