Dear Abby: Friend told my 3rd-grader the facts of life
Dear Abby: I had planned to wait until my daughter was 12 and in the sixth grade to teach her about sex.
Not only did I feel she was too young, I felt robbed of an experience that should be cherished between a mother and daughter.
When I confronted the mother, she deflected by becoming offended that I would assume they weren’t responsible parents.
Children do talk, and 12 is far too late for them to start learning about sex.
[...] they have probably received an abundance of misinformation about it from their friends.
The facts don’t have to be given all at once; the conversation should be ongoing, with more information added in an age-appropriate way.
Three and a half years ago he was in a bad accident.
Because our relationship seemed to be getting serious, he moved into my house.
Dear Over This:
Because this man has lived with you for so long, getting him out of there may take the help of a lawyer.
