How would a mother feel if her daughter was living temporary with her father & his wife?
Answer:
In most states, the child can obtain birth control on her own without the parents decision. I personally feel that all teenage girls should be on birth control - they need to stop having babies so young. If they are gonna have sex, they are gonna do it with or without birth control. Atleast if they are on the pill, they won't get knocked up. I do think that you should still educate your children on the importance of safe sex, meaning condoms, to prevent STD's.
That is correct. A step-mother doesn't have the right to force her step-daughter to go on the pill. Best of luck.
let her decide.
Obviously your daughter is temporarily living with your ex and his new wife. She has no rights at all when it comes to your child. If your daughter doesn't want to get on birth control nobody can force her to, not even you. I would call a lawyer and explain the situation, I'm guessing there is more to the story (like your daughter probably hates her stepmother), and you can probably see about having her come back to live with you.
I think if sex is going on, all parents (biological and step) should step up to educate all children about sex, std's and pregnancy. It's not fair for a step parent to give preferential treatment to their own. With marriage came wonderful *bonus* children.
As long your child is living with her father and step mother they are her guardians. Your daughter has a different relationship with her step mother then with you. Your daughter may confide in her step mother more then she has you. If she's having sex then I have to agree with your ex and the step mother. It would be the responsible thing to do. Besides your daughter could have sneaked off and got put on the pill on her own. At least she's confiding in her step mother and hopefully getting good advice on the subject instead of off the street. And also being informed on safe sex. Girls are having sex very young these days. Parents need to accept it and become involved and be open with their kids....
I suppose you are talking about your own daugther, living with his father and his wife.
I would think that you should let your daugther decide, you don't need to say anything bad about the other woman's daugther or try to defend your own daugther.
I believe, any advice about birth control is not bad, your daugther migt find those ideas useful, and she would make her own decision.
What you have teached her, she had already learned, and you have to be respectful even if she takes the advice of her stepmother.
You don't talk bad things to your daugther about noone, remember that she is having her own experiences and she is getting her own perceptions about the persons she has to deal with in her life.
You have to support her decisions, and listen to her worries, thinkings, plans, ideas. But don't try to manipulate her.
I think you sound pretty bitter. It also isn't fair for you to bash the other child in the picture. You probably are only ASSUMING what goes on in that house. You should go to counseling for self-esteem & jealousy issues. Do you still want your ex? Why else do you not like his new wife?
I wouldn't want my kids away from me either, but by being caniving and bitter isn't going to help any situation, but worsen it.
