There's a thought. Havoc with a child. Will you pass down your 'fucking kids is okay' rhetoric from a young age, or wait for them to get into their late teens?

I don't think I'll ever have kids, but I do have ideas on how I would raise them if I did. And of those things would be that I'd start teaching them about sex the moment they enter puberty. And one of the things I'd teach is that you should only have sex with someone you're in a relationship with and when you're sure you're comfortable with it. I'd teach them that they should always use a condom, regardless of what the other wants and they should never do anything they don't want to do.
That's all you can do as a parent. Make sure they know those things from the top of their head so that if they do get a boyfriend/girlfriend and sneak him/her up to their room one day at least they will know what to do and what not to do. And of course I would jump in if my 14 year old daughter comes home with some 20 year old dude I've never seen. Put a light in his face and ask him what he's doing with my girl, how they met and what he's doing here. If I suspect he's some douchebag I kick him out and if I think he's a reasonable guy he can spend time with her but I wouldn't allow them to be alone in my house. Here's the problem though; if they really like each other, as a parent you will not be able to keep them from seeing each other or getting alone time. So for those situations I just want my kids to be informed and from there I trust that they will do what feels good for them.
