Kimmy I do not have kids but I do remember sitting down with my Mom and talking about birth control. It actually was a great bonding experience. I to like your 18 year old was waiting for that certian someone and my mom although would rather that I would wait for marraige was ok with my decision. I so appreciated her taking the time and for understanding where I was cominf from - and to this day spending that time with her is one of my fondest memories.
