p.s. to above post.
I'd think the highest compliment our kids paid to us is when they each sent us a letter when they were each exactly juniors in college. They had lived away at the university since age 17..........both of them, in different wording........thanked us for all we had done for them.......for "staying together" (as many of their friends' parents were split up)......for having a happy home life for them.......just the little things they mentioned.......and for supporting their dreams........it meant a lot to me.
They did the same thing again, after they had graduated from grad school with their masters........and were getting married.........thanked us and said that what they were at that moment was because of us.........it doesn't get any more rewarding than that.
Now both daughter and son have families of their own and are raising very active , intelligent and friendly children...........some say it "takes a village" but I think a mom and a dad together mean a lot.
Our son , when in high school, would come to me (not his dad) to discuss girls he was dating.......etc., etc..........I had an easy rapport with both daughter and son.
Re sex or anything else.
