If your son or daughter told you?Follow

#1 Dec 15 2004 at 10:26 PM Rating: Excellent
If your son or daughter walked up to one night and asked if they could talk to you about an important issue that was concerning them, would you listen to them and what would you say if the conversation was about:

1. Dad/Mom Suzy and I where thinking of going to a party on Saturday and we where thinking of trying drugs.

2. Mom/Dad Suzy and I are getting to a point in our relationship where we are trying to decide are condoms the right choice or should she use the pill?

3. Dad/Mom I was thinking of going to a meeting with a bunch of my friends on wednesday night. I know we have never discussed this issue before, but is it all right if I go to church?

4. Dad/Mom I'm getting these funny feelings everytime I'm around george, I mean there like more intense than when I thought suzy was the girl for me? What if I was gay?

5. Dad/Mom the condom broke when Suzy and I where at the park awhile ago and now Suzy thinks she's pregnant, what should I do or should she get an abortion?

Try to keep it sane and serious. I know it's hard for some of you but actually think about how you would react if you where the parent.

1) Here, try this bottle of Tynenol and see if you like doing drugs in the safety of home first.

2) Give little Suzy this turkey baster and used pregnancy test with a positive reading so she can extort your inheritance from me.

3) Good job son. Have we talked about you taking over the multimillion dollar family business yet?

4) "Was?!?" I'm giving the family business and inheritance to your sister, Nancy-boy!

5) Where's my shotgun, you worthless Bill Clinton wannabe?

Ok I've edited this to be serious.


1. Son I appreciate you're comming to me. It shows you trust me enough to speak with me about it. It also shows your mature enough to have this conversation. It also shows that you have some hesitation to bring it up with your father. Son I have never in my life done drugs. Not because someone told me not to or because TV said they were bad. But because I made up my own mind not to do them. I never saw the point. If you've ever gone to a party and seen people drinking but stayed sober then you'll see what fools they are. And what you look like when your drunk. Now imagine how you'd look and act when your high? Just remember that drugs can kill you pretty quick. I'm saddened that you'd even have thoughts of using them. I hope you'll cone to the desicion that it's just not for you. I love you son and appreciate your comming to me like this. Any questions you'd like to ask?

2. Well I was hoping you'd hold off until you're 18 but I'm not simple enough to believe that it isn't going to happen sooner. At least it's with someone you care about and not a one night stand. Son use a condom and her on the pill. That way if the condom fails you will have a much less chance of her getting pregnant. And there's no certainty that she doesn't have any diseases. I know it's not a good thing to hear or think about but it's reality. I'm sure you trust her but even she may not know. Unless she's a virgin.

3. Son you're old enough to make your own descisions about church and the religeon you choose to worship or not. I'd strongly suggest you research many types and decided what's best for you. Remember that no matter what you decide that your beliefs are yours and others beliefs are theirs. No one has the right to force their beliefs on you. Or you on them. If you'd ever like to discuss religeon we can. Let me know how the meeting goes.

4. If you were/are gay son I'd still love you. I wouldn't love you any less. Your my son. Straight, gay or whatever. Now if you were gay that would be tough. Especially at your age. Gays at my highschool weren't accepted. If anyone found out they would have been beat up, harrased and felt horrible due to the torment. And I grew up in the north. But if you were gay and someone harrased you or hit you for it I'd want to know. There's no way I'm going to let anyone pick on or bully you for any reason. And as I've told you before you have a right to defend yourself but never to strike someone unless they try to strike you first.
As for how I feel about it I'm fine with it. I love you son and there's no way I'd let that change because you were attracted to the same sex.

5. Why were you having sex in the park? If the police found you then you could have been arrested. Did you want to come home in handcuffs having a police officer explain you were caught having sex with a girl in the park? Next time use her house or our house.
As for the condom breaking I'm sorry to hear that. I think she should get an abortion. you're both too young to raise a child. I'm willing to pay for it if you two do decided to do that. If you both love each other after college then there's no reason you can't plan a family then. But enjoy your life for a little while longer. Grow and mature more. I know something like this is terrifying and extremely stressful but you really should consider it. If you do decide to keep it, and I stress you shouldn't because of your ages and ability to provide a good life for a child who didn't ask to be born into this world, and wasn't planned at that, then you have to realize that you will have to grow up, work and go to school to support your family and it will be amazingly stressful. And if things don't work out with you and Suzy you will be connected for the rest of your lives. And if you even think about splitting during or after her pregnancy and leaving that child without a father then I will hunt you down myself. I'm not kidding. Don't ever father a child and abandon it.
And son, you can come to me if there's ever anything you'd like to talk about. Please let me know what you both decide. Your mother and I will do anything we can for you. Please be more careful next time.

1. Dad/Mom Suzy and I where thinking of going to a party on Saturday and we where thinking of trying drugs.

If you're messed up, how are you going to enjoy the things that you really like to do?

2. Mom/Dad Suzy and I are getting to a point in our relationship where we are trying to decide are condoms the right choice or should she use the pill?

Are you at the point in your relationship where yu plan to take care of her if she gets pregnant if neither work? How would you pay for the abortion if you planned on that? It's not cheap, and she runs the risk of permanently hurting her health. Perhaps you should reconsider where you're at in your relationship.

3. Dad/Mom I was thinking of going to a meeting with a bunch of my friends on wednesday night. I know we have never discussed this issue before, but is it all right if I go to church?

What church is this? How do you feel about God?

4. Dad/Mom I'm getting these funny feelings everytime I'm around george, I mean there like more intense than when I thought suzy was the girl for me? What if I was gay?

When you turn 18 I will pay a deposit and first months rent on an apartment, your success is up to you now.

5. Dad/Mom the condom broke when Suzy and I where at the park awhile ago and now Suzy thinks she's pregnant, what should I do or should she get an abortion?

Suzy should get an abortion, and you should stop sleeping with girls that even think about tying you down with a kid at your age.

1. Matters what kind of drugs...just pot...then dont get caught. If you do then you wont be seeing friends for a good long while.

2. I'd say go with pill, more relizable and kids are stupid enough to "forget" a condom.

3. I hate organized religion...but its not my choice.

4. Make sure my son knows about condom and lube....he'll need them.

5. Abortion is murder (and i'm a athiest)

Tough questions all and tougher to answer.

1. I would hope he would have the sense not to try drugs, but if he came to me with this, I would talk to him about it. Find out why he was interested, what type of drugs was he thinking about, and then after I had him relaxed enough, Id bring him to the computer and make him look up information on drugs and find the consequences of them. Hopefully there would be enough graphic stuff online to keep him away.

2.Both. No matter what I would like to do, I know teens will find away to have sex if they choose. I would rather see my son with knowledge in his hands on everything than ignorant on it all and not be able to come to me with questions.

3. I would first make sure it was a legit church and not a cult, and if it looked to be not a cult then I would have no problems at all, no matter what the religion

4. It doesnt matter to me so long as my child is happy and comfortable with himself. I would also make sure he understood, that while I would love him no matter what path he chose, that if he were to be gay, he would need to be prepared for a lot of prejudice against him for what he is, not who he is. And I would help him in any way I could.

5. Calm him down first. Sit down and talk and find out what their relationship was like at that time. I would point out all options open to him and Suzy, along with pros cons and consequences. And once I had an understanding of his thoughts, I would talk to both of them. I would let them make thei own decision but I would hopefully give what advice I could to make their choice the one they would be most comfortable with and could live with for the rest of their life.

What, HunterGamma, no father/son demonstration of #4? You're willing to toss the tube of K-Y at him, but no hands-on instruction of just how, precisely, to use it? You might as well have told him to go ask his mother-- your life partner --Jason.

I will refrain from making a "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out of it" comment, my mum said it all the time to me growing up. But... I shall answer your questions. Keep in mind, I do not have children, nor do I plan to. However, I have an idea as to what my reaction would be.

Quote:
1. Dad/Mom Suzy and I where thinking of going to a party on Saturday and we where thinking of trying drugs.

First, I am glad that you are comfortable enough with me to even approach me about this, because most kids won't. That shows that you're responsible and honest.
You've been lectured since childhood about the dangers of drugs and drinking, and the impact these things can have on your life, so I won't stress that. The fact is that as a result of this lecturing, you're going to be more curious about these things, and thus be much more prone to trying them. Speaking from my own experiences, drugs are not all they are cracked up to be. There is ridiculous hype surrounding them, positive and negative. I know you are aware of all the dangers surrounding drugs, and that your real decision whether or not to do them lies in what you think they will accomplish. An escape? Not really, they just make you dumber and less able to handle your current life. Want friends to think you're cool? Really, it won't much matter. Having people like you is a big thing, I know, but if their judgement on you is based solely on your willingness to do drugs, they aren't a very good friend.
I am going to trust that you know what you are doing and trust that you can make an intelligent, informed decision. I strongly and sincerely hope you won't try drugs. It's illegal, it's unhealthy, and it just isn't worth the trouble. I respect you to do what's right. However, if I find out you are using drugs, I will take action.

2. Mom/Dad Suzy and I are getting to a point in our relationship where we are trying to decide are condoms the right choice or should she use the pill?

I understand that you care for Suzy quite a bit, and feel like you're ready. However, you are young, and your hormones and your brain tells you things that might not neccessaraly be logical. Before you do anything like that, take a step back and examine your relationship. Sex is something that should only be shared with someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. Are you sure you know you want that this early in your life? Children are not ready to have sex. There is much more you can share just by talking and getting to know each other than there is by having sex. It's supposed to be special, not meaninglessly done, and thus should be saved.
However, there is no way I can keep you from doing it. So I will say that I advise condoms AND birth control. Condoms keep you safe from pregnancy and STDs but they can break -- as an emergency combatant to at least the pregnancy there are the pills as a backup line.

3. Dad/Mom I was thinking of going to a meeting with a bunch of my friends on wednesday night. I know we have never discussed this issue before, but is it all right if I go to church?

I personally do not believe in any religion, but that is my own personal belief. If you are old enough and wise enough to question your own existance and meaning as well as the possibility of a higher power, then you are most certainly capable of making such a decision for yourself. Go, and if you want to talk about anything or just hear another opinion, I'm here.

Quote:
4. Dad/Mom I'm getting these funny feelings everytime I'm around george, I mean there like more intense than when I thought suzy was the girl for me? What if I was gay?

You're young and at this point the line between "Gay" and "Straight" becomes blurred and skewed. You're too young to know for sure what you are. Having feelings for another male isn't disgusting, though, and is something alot of adolescents face. Wait a bit and see how these feelings develop.
If you were gay, I would see nothing wrong. I don't see anything wrong or immoral about being gay. Humans have souls capable of loving another being soul-to-soul, and the precense of a certain organ are in no way vital to that love. Humans mate for much more than mere procreation, and having feelings for someone of the same gender is normal, albeit shunned in our society.
I care for you gay or straight, it's your decision. See where it takes you.

Quote:
5. Dad/Mom the condom broke when Suzy and I where at the park awhile ago and now Suzy thinks she's pregnant, what should I do or should she get an abortion?

If she has obvious signs of pregnancy, get her a pregnancy test. First, get one of the 'home' kits, and if it reads negative but the symptoms persist, get her tested by a doctor. Keep in mind that she might be so frightened at the possibility of pregnancy that she can imagine the symptoms.
If she is pregnant, what she does with the baby is entirely up to her. She can abort it if it's early enough, as long as she makes sure she is completely and totally sure about the decision. Another advisable course of action is to put the child up for adoption, there it will find a loving family to raise it.
However, being so young, she is not fit to be a young mother, nor are you fit to be a young father. Children raising children is not a good idea, and not only can mess up your lives, but the child's as well.
I hope you see that there are consequences to these actions, and how serious they are.




Well that's my two cents. Bye!

1. what kind of drugs?(upon answer, tell him/her what I think).

2. Both. Just remember,get her pregnant, I'm not supporting you anymore, and I'll kick you out soon as you turn 18. Just remember what you do has reprecussions, and me kicking you out ain't the worst that can happen.

3. What church, why you want to go?(answer would pend on this)

4. I don't know. If you were, you are, nothing to be ashamed of, I know quite a few gay men. Just remember, if someone asks you not to hit on them, don't.

5. Find out if she's really pregnant. If so, look into an abortion. And remember what we talked about if you get her pregnant? Start saving your money, you're gonna need it when you turn 18. -or-
You dumb ****. Did you use protection?(if no, he's outta the house). OK you did, things happen. Find out if she and you want the kid, and then we'll talk.

Condoms AND pills. Better safe than sorry.

Church? Why not? I might not not agree with Christianity (I assume we're talking about that), but it is not my right to decide what you should believe in.


4. Dad/Mom I'm getting these funny feelings everytime I'm around george, I mean there like more intense than when I thought suzy was the girl for me? What if I was gay?

I can't tell you if you are gay or not, you know what you are deep inside. I would still love you if you turned out to be gay, why shouldn't I? It's not your sexuality that makes you my son.


5. Dad/Mom the condom broke when Suzy and I where at the park awhile ago and now Suzy thinks she's pregnant, what should I do or should she get an abortion?

I would suggest an abortion. You're too young to raise a child, having one now would ruin your childhood. You can always be a grown-up later :)

Don't have kids so these "rules" are mostly what my parents taught me.

Well son I am not to happy with the idea of you taking drugs. If you want to try some pot, then fine, but I would be very disappointed with you if you tried harder drugs. Surely I've told you enough stories about the people we get coming into the ER who have overdosed and almost died. (I work in an ER)

I would rather have my son's using condoms and having sex at home in a safe environment than in the back of a toilet at a nightclub. Only rule I make is the girl has to be a girlfriend and that they have been going out for a few weeks. If they want to bring home one night stands they can get their own place. The parents of the girlfriend also have to agree to her sleeping over out our house.

1. Dad/Mom Suzy and I where thinking of going to a party on Saturday and we where thinking of trying drugs.

Son, you know that drugs are not good for you. Our relationship is built on mutual respect and trust. Making this choice is yours and yours alone, but if you decide to try drugs think of the implications that this will have not only on our relationship but that of yours and your mother as well. We do not condone drug use and hope that this is your decision as well. Don't let peer pressure force your decision, it's time to stand on your own.

2. Mom/Dad Suzy and I are getting to a point in our relationship where we are trying to decide are condoms the right choice or should she use the pill?

You realize that abstinence is the best option in this matter and that is what we encourage you to practice. You have a lifetime ahead of you to have sex. And chosing the right woman for the first time is important and hopefully this will be your wife on your honeymoon. However if you make the choice to lose your virginity in the near future, then use condoms and strongly encourage her to use the pill. Remember your future is defined by the decisions that you make now and the consequences of the choices you make.

3. Dad/Mom I was thinking of going to a meeting with a bunch of my friends on wednesday night. I know we have never discussed this issue before, but is it all right if I go to church?

It is all right if you go to Church. But why are you wanting to go? Is it for social or spiritual reasons? If the reason is social then I strongly encourage you to go and keep an open mind. When you come back let's sit down and talk about your experience.

If the reason is for spiritual reasons then what I would like you to do before you go is realize that your Mom and I are Chrisitians. Organized religion is a great thing for fellowship with other Christians, however there may be some drawbacks to going to a church if you do not understand their perception and interpretation of the bible. I strongly encourage you to listen to what they have to say, but then study on your own and ask your mom or I about any questions that you have.

That's pretty much what I would say.

5. Dad/Mom the condom broke when Suzy and I where at the park awhile ago and now Suzy thinks she's pregnant, what should I do or should she get an abortion?

You need to make an honest woman out her Son. I would never encourage or even bring up the option of abortion from my side of the discussion because it simply is not an option. I would encourage them to look at how the child will affect their future and what he is going to do to support the mother and child while staying in school at the same time. We will be there to assist in anyway we can but the child will stay in the family.

1. Dad/Mom Suzy and I where thinking of going to a party on Saturday and we where thinking of trying drugs.

We'll then, you're not going to the party!!! I think we need to have a little talk about drugs and what they can do to you....

2. Mom/Dad Suzy and I are getting to a point in our relationship where we are trying to decide are condoms the right choice or should she use the pill?

We'll, I want you to be safe, you should tell Suzy to talk to her mother about this as well, and see if she will take her to the doctor and get on birth control, and you definatly need to use a condom if not more. I dont think you're old enough, you're my widdle baby (aww mom...) but I cant stop you from making the decision, so just be safe, and I'll be happy.

3. Dad/Mom I was thinking of going to a meeting with a bunch of my friends on wednesday night. I know we have never discussed this issue before, but is it all right if I go to church?

What kind of church? (If it sounded legit I would say go ahead, if it sounded "fishy, I would have to come along with them to check it out for myself before I would let them go alone).

4. Dad/Mom I'm getting these funny feelings everytime I'm around george, I mean there like more intense than when I thought suzy was the girl for me? What if I was gay?

I love you no matter what, please remember that!!! I just want you to be happy, and whatever makes you happy makes me happy, but I do want to talk to you about condoms now....

5. Dad/Mom the condom broke when Suzy and I where at the park awhile ago and now Suzy thinks she's pregnant, what should I do or should she get an abortion?

Well, first lets find out if she's really pregnant. If she is I would prefer you get an abortion, you're way too young to be raising a kid!!! You can also put it out for adoption, but please dont keep it. I will help you take care of it if you really want to, but I just want you to be a kid. Dont ruin your life, for my sake and yours.

1.Dad/Mom Suzy and I where thinking of going to a party on Saturday and we where thinking of trying drugs.

I would ask why and what type, and then my response would depend on the answers to these questions. Having advised them on the dangers of drugs as I see them I would then advise on safeguards to minimize risk of a bad reaction if they are determined to experiment.

2. Mom/Dad Suzy and I are getting to a point in our relationship where we are trying to decide are condoms the right choice or should she use the pill?


I would ask what he thinks and why. Assuming the discussion is sensible I would praise him for being a mature young man and give him a manly hug.

3. Dad/Mom I was thinking of going to a meeting with a bunch of my friends on Wednesday night. I know we have never discussed this issue before, but is it all right if I go to church?

Sure, but I want to come along with you occasionally, and I want the opportunity to discuss the teachings to encourage a balanced and critical perspective.

Not sure what I would do if the church is cult like. I know from experience that ranting and raving is the worst way to deal with this.

4. Dad/Mom I'm getting these funny feelings everytime I'm around george, I mean there like more intense than when I thought suzy was the girl for me? What if I was gay?

I am sure that is not a decision you would take lightly. It would not affect our relationship. However I intend to continue making gay jokes.

5. Dad/Mom the condom broke when Suzy and I where at the park awhile ago and now Suzy thinks she's pregnant, what should I do or should she get an abortion?


What does Suzy want to do? You should support her in her decision. If you decide to keep the baby I will do everything in my power to help support you, both financially and with my time.

Why the **** were you ******** in the park?

A lot of you have an inconclusive answer to #1.

If your kid asks you whether it's okay to try out some drugs at a party, I don't think you should say "Yes, dear, as long as it's only the semi-dangerous crack stuff". I know some of you smoke the stuff, but it's a bad idea giving your kid the impression that it's okay.

If your kid asks you whether it's okay to try out some drugs at a party, I don't think you should say "Yes, dear, as long as it's only the semi-dangerous crack stuff". I know some of you smoke the stuff, but it's a bad idea giving your kid the impression that it's okay.


Alot of us feel that pot is okay. Why should we hold different standards regarding this issue for our children than we hold for ourselves?

i like to think of myself of a decent example of what happens when parents shove "don't do drugs" down your throat. you do drugs. it's that simple, and is most likely the logic behind most people's answer to #1, Qaoz. That, and belief that it's NOT A BIG DEAL to smoke up.
