As parents, we want to do the right thing to keep our children safe. We also want to trust them but we also realize that there are times when we need to check on as well.
A mother in the following story found herself in a very difficult situation when her teenage daughter was in a bedroom alone with her boyfriend. She wanted to trust her, but her instincts were telling her otherwise.
All parents will need to read this, and many teenagers would benefit from reading it as well. It’s just one of those stories that teaches us so many things.
I have a 14-year old daughter. She is dating a boy who is 14, too.
He is very well-mannered, a nice guy. Every Sunday, he comes to our place…
and my daughter and he spend the entire day in her room.
I don’t want to disturb them, but one Sunday I thought: “We live in the 21st century.
Kids are growing faster nowadays.
What if they are making their own kids there?!”
So I ran to her room, I opened up the door, the lamp was dimmed,
I heard them talking. I come into the room looking like“
I got you,” and you know what I see?
My daughter is sitting in the armchair knitting a scarf and the boy is lying on the couch and reading out loud.
The only thing I could say was: “Would you like some tea?..”
