Here's a question for you...along that same false premise.
Would you blame your daughter/granddaughter if she was raped/sexually assaulted at a party, where she had been drinking...and had worn skimpy clothes?
Would that have been their fault and the perp...should be excused? |
We Catholics always called that "putting yourself in the near occasion of sin". We Germans called this getting yourself in big trouble for not using your head. I would have been plenty upset and damn mad at her for sure. This is all about teaching your kids about decision making. We talked a hell of a lot in our family about drinking and driving and drinking and sex. We all know how lives can be ruined forever with drinking and sex, both genders..........actually all genders.....
My kids heard three things over and over and over............
Don't drink and drive (or have sex)
Don't have unprotected sex.
Save your money.
They all wait at the door as they say good bye even now, because I still say it.
