Way to go! (Reply to this comment)
by SSagert
I have read both sides of this story. I agree with you my dear. If anyone every took my daughters well being into their hands I think I would be in prison! I'm glad that you wrote your Epinion. Some people need to be "brought into the light". Not all parents appreciate someone else educating their child about the facts of life!

Very true! (Reply to this comment)
by callmesgt
My own opinion may be somewhat influenced by the fact that I am from the old fashioned school. I find it quite acceptable for a person to be married prior to becoming a parent. This applies to both male and female.
But in this case I can only agree with you that, regardless of how good your intentions are, the decisions on how to raise children rests with the parents. I would greatly resent someone interfering with me raising my children. This includes Grandparents and other relatives. It's fine to offer advice but you should realize that they have the right to reject it or accept it.

I understand what u are talking about, and This has happend once to me and my older son .. I'm divored from his father and when he was about 12 years old his fathers girlfriend took it upon herself one month when he was staying with them to take him to a counsler. Reason being my son didn't care for his fathers girlfriend and he didn't want to see his father when she was around, well she thought he needed to talk to someone about his feelings on her..
I thought that was uncalled for and she never asked any of us if she could do this. She took matters upon her own hands. She had NO rights to do this she isn't married to his father or anything.
I was very upset to hear what she had done, pluse we go to church and if I wanted my son to speak to a councler then I would have taken him to a christian councler NOT a seculere one.

How do we even know somebody is being objective when they decide they know better for someone else's child?

SH (Reply to this comment)
by MikesCelticLuv
I'm sorry I had to give you an SH. My reasons mirror Brigette's (although I don't agree with your epinion like she does). I feel that this would work better as a comment. If you revise this, please let me know via e-mail and I'll reconsider my rating. :o)

Reason for SH (Reply to this comment)
by jnbmoore
Rated on the ability of the epinion to stand alone. Even though I agree with you totally, this would have been much better as a comment on the orginial epinion.
Good luck

Calling Her Mom (Reply to this comment)
by Cahill
(I see your issues with having a daughters friend call you mom.. but in my circle of friends.. My friends call my mom "mom" and I call their mom "mom" every so often too. It's a sign of mutual respect and friendship more than anything else.
If a parent isn't going to responsible for their children i.e. helping them get contraceptives if they are needed, than someone has to do something.
I would rather help someone get on the pill than let their parents deny the issue and her having an unwanted pregnancy. The cycle has to stop somewhere, and I think Jeannie has the right idea.
Just my 2 cents,
Jenna
