Now that you have left your precious babies at their respective places of higher learning, did you give them the sex talk? If my last post struck a nerve, you might want to stop reading now because, er well…
You might be prudish and shy away from such things, but please know that if they don’t already know, they’re going to find out with a quickness. Think about what you were doing when you were 18. I don’t remember my mom sitting me down to get the talk because when I was seven, my 17 year-old brother became a father, so I kinda put two and two together before that 8th grade health class.
I’ve seen all of these beautiful rooms that will be their home away from home for the next year at least, so just make sure that your kiddos are being careful when they’re not in your presence (and in their dorms).
I sure hope they have fun, meet new people, expand their horizons and all the good things. At the same time, I hope you have taught them that their bodies are their own, that no means no (for girls and boys), and that they are in school to learn and in turn graduate and become positive contributors to society.
No one died and made me an expert on anything, but this is real talk. If it makes you uncomfortable, it’s okay, but your babies are growing up and they need to know more about the birds and the bees than Daphne Bridgerton did when she married the Duke.
Love y’all. Mean it.
