TEACH ME WHY NOT TELL ME NO!

For the record; I believe there is a huge difference between how one deals with a 4 year old and a 14 year old. And I am not about keeping teenagers in the dark about sex.
I like you pointing out to the young man about 216 child support payments. I would also point out the lack of control over the child that an unmarried father has.
Abortion? He can't stop her. What kind of men she gets involved with later and brings around the child is her decision unless the guy is a serial killer or similar.
Drinking, smoking, cussing.... I listened to an anguished father describe his child's environment. It was very sad to hear him but one had to wonder why he thought things would have turned out differently. He knew better but nevertheless lived with her out of wedlock. Why think she is suddenly going to raise a child like an Apostolic?
