LOL<br /><br />@ Sky... yeah, I'm counting on the fact that he won't continue to look. I'm limiting his computer time these days... not as a punishment.. just "guiding" him to other activities.<br /><br />@ Daisychain... I so appreciate your suggestion... and I may have to do just that later... but for now I'm "suggesting" different activities... playing outside.. playing the Wii... a dead blog is just way more work than I'm willing to do right now.<br /><br />@MagnusCattus... Wow... and I thought it sucked to be caught by the 12yo in the middle of the night... he stormed in... thought he heard me crying. Yeah, that sucked.<br /><br />I make a lot of mistakes in parenting... but I never on purpose offer anything that I am not willing to follow though with. I don't yell at the kids and tell them that if they don't quit fighting that I'm gonna turn this car around... I instead offer that if they don't quit I will pull this van over and warm their bottoms. They take me very seriously.<br /><br />One other thing... I don't have a problem with my kids learning about sex. We don't lie to our kids about sex either. There is a huge difference between me and their dad sitting down with them and telling them about the relationship between a man and a woman and my kid reading about how his mom and dad have a Dd relationship and dad spanks mom.<br /><br />BTW... sounds like you and yours figured out a way around the adoption thing. At least that way, if something, God forbid happens, you will at least not have to worry about losing your child too!Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759189617805706399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192051472718947284.post-61996732431152063512011-09-20T17:42:04.509-05:002011-09-20T17:42:04.509-05:00Hi Mikki,
I wanted to offer my experience. You t...Hi Mikki,<br /><br />I wanted to offer my experience. You take it and decide if it would work with your kid. Ginger's child is my Godchild (Adoption it turns out, requires Mom to legally give up the child so we can adopt. Stupid rule). I believe in being open about sexuality with the child, so any time a question was asked it was answered truthfully. We never claimed babies came from storks, though we did get professional guidance on what was age appropriate. Also, Ginger and I were caught in bed once when school let out early and the kid come home, so that discrete fact was sort of stuck in the kids face unfortunately. All that being said, if this had come up for us, I would have offered to tell the kid where to find the blog, so long as it was understood it included discussions of my sex life. Invariably I got the same response.<br /><br />"EEEWWW! NEVER MIND!!" <br /><br />Of course sweetie, let me know if you change your mind. I mean let's be real, Brad and Angies kids don't want to contemplate the sex, it's their parents. Gross! <br /><br />Of course, as I said, you make the call. It would have sucked to be taken up on my offer!MagnusCattushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744789164161653456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192051472718947284.post-23310809581544971492011-09-20T17:17:16.074-05:002011-09-20T17:17:16.074-05:00Just a thought...maybe you could start a dead bori...Just a thought...maybe you could start a dead boring blog that would be real easy to find? ;) Then, if he searched, and found it, and read it, he would not bother reading it for long... and once he thought he had found it, and checked out how dead boring it was, he would probably never bother looking for it again... xxxxxDaisychainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10327195200946342709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192051472718947284.post-52321483800761201012011-09-20T17:04:53.642-05:002011-09-20T17:04:53.642-05:00That is one if my fears.
