I had the conversation six months ago with my ten year old daughter. I've been in business awhile, and did multi-million dollar negotiations for one of the corporations I worked for. By far, this was the toughest conversation I've ever had.The day is quickly coming when I'm gonna need to talk to my son about sex and babies. He has 2 younger sisters so he's not unfamiliar with the process of Mama havin' a baby in her tummy... But I also don't want just ignore the conversation. Any of you fathers have any advice/resources to help?
Buying him condoms DEFINETLY condones sex. Does no one remember being 14?Woah. We just had a conversation at work about this Friday.
My son sent a "sexy" pic to some chick. (It really wasn't bad). He's 14 now. She is 17. The girl sent him titties. I nipped that in the bud fast.
That night I straight up told him. No sex. No sex/kids until you graduate college as far as I am concerned. I was extremely stern. I actually grabbed his arm. I made sure he understood why. His mother thought I handled it all wrong. She thought I should talk about the birds and the bees, and not explain to him why these little thots would want to get with him at age 14.
Did I overreact? Probably, but I REALLY want to make sure he understands how serious his life and future is to me, and should be for himself.
People at work heard the convo of me and his mother disagreeing. They thought I should be buying him condoms, not scaring him into thinking all girls are evil. I personally think me buying him condoms condones sex btw.
Thoughts?
I don't know if you know this...but emotionally, developmentally and pretty much everything else as well....this analogy doesn't even compare to what you are doing/talking about.Car analogy inc yay!
My father bought a BMW when I had just graduated high school. He knew I had snuck the old one out a couple times. When he pulled into the driveway and everyone was oooing and ahhing, he pulled me to the side, and said 4 words. He looked me square in the eye. Don't touch this car. Wasn't negative. Wasn't mean. I just knew he meant it.
That's how it was with my son. Don't come home with kids. Don't fuck with these girls. Especially at 14. Like I said, the don't fuck with these girls may have been...silly. Will talk with him tonight and make sure we are on the same page. Not sure what I will say, but I will talk to him.
You're thinking too much into it man. My father said don't fuck with that. I didn't. I told my son don't fuck. He wont!I don't know if you know this...but emotionally, developmentally and pretty much everything else as well....this analogy doesn't even compare to what you are doing/talking about.
LoL, good luck with that.You're thinking too much into it man. My father said don't fuck with that. I didn't. I told my son don't fuck. He wont!
LOL!!!LoL, good luck with that.
I'll leave it up to you to start the "Unexpected grandparent, what do I do" thread.
Truth. I knew damn well I could get the aids and pregnant and caught and everything else and I still fucked. And I like to believe I am reasonably intelligent. Dick does what it wants and fighting it is a losing battle.I'm trying to think back when I Was 14. If a girl sent me titties I would be hitting that the second I had a chance. Any guy would. I don't think it would've mattered what anyone said to me.
Growing up in this era would be so much different than when we were in HS. Hell the first titties sent to me was when I was like 19 or 20 over AIM. It almost seems common place anymore with camera phones and messaging. Kids don't even need to go through the awkward conversation with the chick's father when he inevitability answers the phone when you call her. It almost seems inevitable that kids will fuck around more than our generation simply because it is easier and more accessible. Or possibly things haven't really changed and it is only a handful of mega slutty chicks sending pics. The kind of chick you could score on if you gave her a wine cooler at a house party back in our day.I'm trying to think back when I Was 14.
