Now I’m not trying to flame you but a few things here:

telling your kids to wait til marriage is going to lessen their chances of having a satisfying sexual life. you need to experience sex to know what you life and how your body works, and therefore who you will be sexually compatible with. what if you wait until marriage and afterwards you find out you have completely…

My parents did this with me, especially the stuff I had been writing for my english class. I immediately backed everything up on disc while learning how to create hidden folders on your computer. I also created a few custom hiding spots in and under furniture in my room, with the help of my grandfather (he actually…

Yeah, your kids will just end up doing it in a park, someone else’s house, or just when you aren’t home. They will tell you that they are going to their friend’s house to study or other excuse. They will be more likely to have unprotected sex, despite any education you give them (whether or not it will be accurate…

What if your kids are gay? Opposite Gender Only? What if they’re bi? Nobody? What if they’re Asexual? Anybody but themselves?

Nah, sometimes no matter how good or bad you are at parenting you need to explicitly say stuff for kids, even if you have trouble getting over it yourself, as an adult.

We aren’t even going to allow them to have people of the opposite gender in their rooms.

I don’t think there needs to be a discussion and scheduling.

My parents were uptight, too. I waited until they went to bed, snuck in my fwb, and fucked on the couch. They disapproved of everything, so I learned to lie early and well.

Whatever you do will become the pattern that your kids will remember as normative. That doesn’t mean you have to do things that are uncomfortable, because you are afraid of damaging their perception of family roles. Be honest, and kind, and things will work out. And don’t let any ‘experts’ tell you what ‘family’ has…

I would think it would really depend on the situation. The ideal is to get to the point where everyone can be in the same room together and genuinely enjoy the company, so that the kids can see that it’s okay to love mom and dad, and also like the new boyfriend/girlfriend.

There’s definitely a double standard here. People who don’t live together see a scheduled date as something exciting and romantic to look forward too, but if you’re cohabitating it’s seen as pathetic.

This.

How to Schedule Sex and Still Enjoy it

Or you could discuss your issues openly and let them know how you feel.

Even if they just wanted lower taxes they also voted for a vice president who truly believes and advocates for gay conversion therapy. You can’t separate one thing from the other. If I were for lower taxes (I’m not) knowing my vote would put a guy like that close to the presidency would give me pause.

I will not watch this with my husband because he has been known to say doltish things and I don’t want to be tried for manslaughter over a tv show.

I’m confused by that tweet.

Seriously. Like...did you actually read the book?

“It’s a rape fantasy”? God knows sexualizing rape is a depressingly common trope, but I’m having troubling imagining how anyone could confuse the cold, clinical rapes in The Handmaid’s Tale with erotica.
