I'm not sure what to do for the best. My youngest daughter is fifteen in January and has been with her boyfriend for nine months now. I was horrified at first because she is so young, but he's a lovely boy and they are so cute together, she says that she loves him and he loves her. We've had lots of chats about 'you know what' but I'm worried that things might go further. His mum rang me and said that she's spoken to him and he says he loves her. I keep popping in and out of her room all the time and I pop shoes against the door to keep it open, but I cant be there all the time. I'm thinking about putting her on the pill, but I dont want to be seen to be encouraging her. She's so young and my baby. We didn't have to deal with this until our other girls were seventeen. I'm also worried about complications of going on the pill so young.
Hi Lyra,
I don't know what to do either. I can tell how much you love your daughter though and I think that's great. Have you talked to his mother about what to do? Maybe you could discuss it together and come up with some ideas? I imagine talking to her straightforwardly about the issue and why you are concerned may be helpful? Do they have a planned parenthood near you- I know they can talk all about the issue openly with young women there. I don't have kids, so I'm sure it's easier said than done. I know they have books about the subject as well. I took a class about it in high school. My own mother just yelled and cursed at me regarding the subject and I know that's not the answer! :) I am offering moral support and can tell how much you love her and think that is great.

Thanks for the reply Marishka.
I appreciate the support. I hope everything works out for you. Sometimes everything seems to get on top of you and then other times things dont seem so bad.
