Phone Sex - Parents listening in. Is this sick of what?

[yeawutever]

I believe none of us can say what type of rules we will impose on our future kids when we don't even know what it's like being a parent. I see myself as a future liberal ''whatever you do, I trust nothing bad will happen to you'' type mother, then again maybe not, I don't know.

Actually, you can, whether or not you stick to them is up to debate, but I am well within my means to state the rules I would hold, if you can't then that is fine but I can. This is veering off topic, however.

My house, my rules, my phone-line

 

Edit: They can have these feelings and if they pay for their own phone then sure. See? I'm reasonable.

 

Believe it or not i agree with you> I think my kids would EXPECT that if they had phone sex on my phone and i caught them that they would be groudned and phone priveledges revoked.

 

Doesn't mean they wno't do it again but it means they will think twice before engaging in that behavior in my home.

 

And i know firsthand i would do this as i had a similar issue arise. When my daughter and her b/f got a bit too frisky on the couch when they thought i was gone she was grounded and he was not allowed over for a month. I told them i was shocked they would even TRY to engage in such behavior right there in the home and what if her little brother had walked in? Yeah it embarrassed her to death and i took her b/f to the door dragging him by his collar. I should have never let him come back but i am realistic enough to know teenagers will try to push the envelope. Mom is just there to seal the envelope best she can until she got them to adulthood LOL

LOL yeah well I DO KNOW because i have raised two kids. My answers on this are not hypothetical. LOL

I wasn't afraid to ground them for disobeying the rules. I do not see any reason to make rules if one can't enforce them. It is a lose/lose for all involved.

We're on the same page, I think the temperature in Hades hit 32 degrees F.

I found suggestive text messages on my teenage son's phone and let him know in no uncertain terms that it was not okay for him to communicate that way on my dime.

i don't think you need to punish your kids for it. confronting them alone will work.

 

my mom found stuff on my computer about 7, 8 years ago and all she had to do was tell me she saw it and that she was disappointed in me. i was so embarrassed after that, that i was the last one out of all my friends to lose my virginity. lol

[yeawutever]

lol, yea it can be embarrassing. I recall the time 2 years ago when my parents found out I was flashing my top part on cam to these two guys. My cam got taken out as a result followed by father not talking to me for a long while, grrrrr. I was piss of at the idiot that called my house and informing about it.

Now I got a new cam but I'm super careful because..

1) I don't want this to repeat again

2) I can't be doing that while I'm in my LDR

 

Now do I really regret doin g it, not really. I would be more wise now if I was single and make sure it's a friend who I'm talking and doing that with, not a random stranger.

I'm a mom, but she's eight. I wouldn't overreact...after all phone sex gets no one pregnant or spreads any STDs. However, what I would probably do is turn the dang radio off and then have a talk with my daughter. I would want to know just how far she's gone physically and what her plans are about sex. Then, if she showed herself to be really immature, I might get draconian with her. If she showed herself to be mature, I might be more lenient. It all depends on the situation, as any parent knows.
