But you know, even if he doesn’t discuss kissing and whatnot with you – you can certainly give him insight into how girls think and feel. And that’s probably more important, advice-wise.

jerseygirl89s last blog post..Time To Get Off of the High Horse

I thought as I read your blog that it was my mother who introduced me to the inscrutable profundity of sex. As uncomfortable as she was with the conversation, she did not blink or respond with ‘Ask your father.’ She answered my questions. And as I began to realize in my pre-adolescent haze that I was actually asking my MOTHER about SEX, I pulled away from the precipice of the moment, not her.

Having said this, I am so thankful your two little boogerheads have you and Tom to model K-I-S-S-I-N-G. A so-called enlightened, self-absorbed megalomaniac who claims to be a parenting expert would dismiss your situation as the natural outgrowth of a cause/effect relationship based solely on the random pairing of random ovum. But I say there is a reason you and Tom are the parents of your particular set of troublemakers; and there is a reason that they are both stinky, busy, thinking with their johnson’s boys.

Dory, you are teaching these little rodents what a woman is, what a Godly woman is, what a Godly wife is and how they should think about treating the girls/women in their lives. There is no one in your family who is as uniquely qualified as you to teach these things. Maybe you do feel shaken; my God, who wouldn’t? Maybe the megalomaniac parenting expert would arrogantly proclaim complete control of the situation and proceed to guide their children into yet another enlightened trainwreck; the kind of mess usually reserved for the relationships enjoyed by psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. Your role is as solid as it ever was. You are the powerful woman of your house; you are surrounded by males who need you and love you more than you can know. Not many women have what you have.

You know all this, Dory. As a person with as much credibility as a parent as Nancy Pelosi has as a public servant, the only thing I can really offer you is the observation that your sons are blessed to have you as their mom.
