To be honest, I don't expect my kids to wait until they're married. Marriage is a very important commitment and I want them to be sure before they make those vows. I sincerely hope that they are in a committed relationship before they jump into a sexual relationship. They need to be aware that there are diseases out there and need to be prepared if birth control should fail. I want them to think about who they're having sex with, is this the person I want to be tied to the rest of my life because birth control failed? Would this be someone I would want to be my child's parent?

So many people are frustrated and irritated with ex's that are their child's parent. I really hope that my children can avoid that pitfall by making good choices about who they sleep with. Particularly my boys. Not very PC of me I know, but boys don't really have a say in what would happen in the event of an accidental pregnancy.

So many decisions that are difficult for anyone, let alone a child (ie under 18).
