I went to a friends for lunch. Its her daughters birthday next week and she will be turning 15. She is a single mum and they are very close. They are extremely open about everything in their lives with each other.



Daughter has a boyfriend, they haven't had sex but friend seems to think its a good idea for her daughter to explore her own needs and wants before having sex. Daughter is on the pill. I really didn't know what to say, just kinda snorted water out my nose as drinking at the time and went a bit dumb. Friend just looked at me and said I was being a prude (she has always had this opinion of me) and thinks it is great she is her daughters best friend.



I am gobsmacked. Am I being a prude?? Am I so out of the loop this is the done thing? My daughter is 6 so not come up yet but can't see me doing this. Though I would always be open about contraception etc



She hasn't bought it yet. Said she is going to get it as a surprise...
