Kiddo update

So

the kiddo is home from college

and it's an interesting relationship
because she's not my responsibility any more

I can't mother her
but I can big sister her

aaaaand

apparently she's begun to date
(well -- she's had a few little dates)

she was not going to date American boys
but looks like things have changed

looks like I'm going to have the sex talk.

and send her back to school with condoms.

I promised her that we would talk about it
and that I would answer anything
and that it wouldn't be a lecture
just
good advice

more parenting experience to put in my tool box.

  3. lol -- I think it'll be the easiest sex talk I'll ever have -- because there's enough distance between us (not her mom) that I can have the talk without really freaking her out

    she said she would listen
    in that way that you know that she'll take it in and weigh it

    she said, "I'm sure my mom will want to have the talk this summer"

    and I said, "yeah -- well -- let's make sure that this summer isn't too late"

    and we both laughed

    yeah

    she needs the safe sex talk
