Birth Control

[Single Dad]

My wife just informed me that she put our 16 year old daughter on birth control. I've been arguing with her ever since she told me. She tells me that it wasn't because she's having sex, it's for headaches and stress and for her period. I'm not buying it and For me, it's just a reason to lay down with some guy whenever the opportunity arises. We are currently separated so I'm going nuts over this whole situation. Are those reasons for going on the pill real?? I trust my daughter but just the thought of her on birth control is driving me crazy. Any other parents in here have a young daughter on birth control for reasons other than sex? My wife wouldn't tell me if she is having sex because she knows how I would react to it.

Hi I'm the 17 year old that's been plowing your daughter silly since she was 15. I'm not her first and probably not her last as there will be another 20 happy guys in her lifetime. This is good news though as I have been blowing loads up in her every time her mom is not home. Boy can she take all of it too. We do it everywhere's including using mom's more comfortable bed instead of her twin sized mattress. Do you think she will like anal? Because she sure like to swallow !

No matter what you say or do you're not stopping her for having sex, if she want's to.

So the only way to look at this is, she won't be destroying her life and having a kid, if she does decide to have sex.

Millions of women use birth control for several different medical reasons, so don't blow it off just because your spidy sense is tingling.

If your daughter wants to have sex she will whether she is on birth control or not. I am a mom with a 15 year old daughter. Her doctor put her on the pill 2 years ago because every month when she got her period, she would vomit violently, have diarrhea, scream from pain of the cramps, and would get so weak from heavy bleeding that she would pass out. I didn't like the idea of birth control either but she couldn't go through this every month.

[Obgyn]

Yes birth control is used for periods and Acne, not just for sex. Some birth control can help heavy period or irregular periods. You should be proud if your daughter even if she's having sex for taking the responsibility for being and asking to be on birth control, and no I'm not saying for all young kids it's cool to be on birth control and having sex while Ur young but if u see half of what i see... U should be happy. Good luck !!!!

Your post makes me feel better as far as birth control has a purpose other than preventing an unwanted pregnancy. Not living at home is very hard, I feel disconnected from her and I know how these young kids like to experiment with their sexuality. Boy, raising a daughter is so hard, I find myself worrying every time I know she's out.

Shut up scum bag you don't deserve to be a father!Now get the F**K out of here!

[Hmmm]

"Scumbag" <-----the other reason for birth control...the moment you realize you got knocked up by an idiot. His mother didn't use birth control.

[Hmmm]

"I know who you are" <------another prime example.

Kudos for being a concerned dad! Many aren't. It's not uncommon to prescribe them for heavy periods, cramps, etc. If she is having sex isn't it better that she is being responsible instead of dropping out of school because she got pregnant at 16? All you can do is talk to her (not lecture) and hope she makes the right decisions.

Did you ever hear of communication? Family communication, especially. She's your daughter and your wife, for cryin' out loud. So you'd rather sit in a dark corner, pondering whether your daughter is going to have sex one day, rather than discuss it like a caring father and family man.
Since that's the case, let me clue you in: Most teens are having sex. Many teens have other health issues as mentioned by others. You can keep your head buried in the sand (or up your own buttocks), keep her off birth control, and pray every day that she doesn't get pregnant. She'll never forget that "her dad didn't wanna know when I was 16 about my mom getting me the pill. He didn't care."
Or you can put your arm around her, take her out to dinner, out for a drive, or just sit the hell down with her in your FAMILY living room and talk to her about it. She'll never forget how you cared.

I am disgusted at anyone on here who is trashing this father for asking this question. No one on here knows what their family situation is. He said he is separated from his wife. Maybe she is refusing to talk to him about it or refusing to talk calmy. Maybe she is blaming him for whatever and trying to give him a hard time about everything. Maybe the daughter won't discuss it with her dad or is embarrassed to. I am a mom and my daughter would be mortified to talk to my husband about anything like this. Should this dad try and talk to his daughter? Absolutely. But don't go off on the man without knowing exactly what goes on in the family.

[lalala]

It really does help with symptoms of her period. And at least if she is on the pill and has sex there is a lesser chance of her becoming a teen mom

Thanks chill, I knew this wasn't the best place to ask a question. I don't even respond to those obnoxious posts, I just consider the source. Also want to thank you for posting about your daughter, at least now I know there are other reasons for the pill other than birth control. My daughter is very close to her mom and that's fine with me, she needs that. I know she would be very uncomfortable talking to me about being on birth control. My wife and I are fairly civil towards each other but we always come together 100% when it comes to whats best for our daughter. I try to call my daughter just about everyday and we spend every other weekend together when she wants to. At her age though, she's more interested in her friends rather than her dad. Nobody said life is easy I guess. Thanks again.

Your welcome. And you are very right. At this age they are definitely more interested in their friends than their parents. Trust me....that is not something I have an easy time with! I wish I could go back to the days of my little girl just wanting to snuggle with her mommy.

Ok there gramps ...I'm gonna pound her out good now. I dig deeper when we hit doggy style.

You're an idiot, you're wife is smart! I remember what I was doing at 16, do you?

Hey why don't you see if single dad wants to snuggle with you. I'll baby sit your daughters while you guys get to know each other. I promise I will treat your daughters very gently.

[another single dad]

I am the father of an attractive 14 year old daughter. She is a beautiful and smart girl who makes her mom and i very proud. However, it saddens me to see my baby girl turn into a young woman. Her mom and I divorced when she was just 6 years old. I know how you feel. She's into texting and facebooking guys etc. look it's all coming. The truth is, I was having sex at 13. It's human nature. I don't condone it, but it all comes down to how you and the mother have taught her to make responsible choices and be prepared for the unexpected. I would not be concerned so much about the bc, but rather how well you as a parent have played an influential role in her life regardless of your issues with her mom.

These kids get only one shot in life. Make it the best and mend fences with your ex for the sake of children.
