HUSBAND WANTS TO PUT DAUGHTER ON BIRTH CONTROL?

Question

My husband is very strict with our 13yo daughter. He does not let her do much of anything. He says will feel much more comfortable with letting her go and do if we put her on birth control. Never has done anything to make us mistrust her.

Answer 1

This should be a discussion you have with HER.  If SHE wants to go on the pill and take the risks/side effects of putting hormones in HER body, than by all means take her for the exam and the pills.  If SHE does not want to use the pill there's no reason she should be forced onto it.  Especially with the side effects it has.  Not all teen girls want to be moodier and face the possibility of gaining weight when they aren't even having s*x.

What you need to do is sit down, the three of you, and have an open honest talk about what she does when she's out, talk about her friends, and her life.  Not just let your husband control everything and restrict her unnecessarily if she's not out starting trouble. That's a really good way to get her to rebel just for the sake of rebelling.

Answer 2

He should read the fine print that comes with the pills first.

Safe or dead-his choice.

Answer 3

That's very young. Has she even started her period?

You need to sit down and talk to your husband. If he's so mistrusting of her already she is going to rebel.

I came home from watching a school football game and my dad accused me of being high. I wasn't, I wouldn't even think of doing anything like that. But i was grounded for 2 weeks for it. So do you know what I did? I went out and got high! If i was going to get into trouble for stuff i wasn't doing, might as well go do it. Same thing with s*x and drinking for me. Dad assumed I was doing those things (prob because he was at that age). After I was grounded a few times for them I started do them. And I know a few other people just like me.

You really don't want to do that to your daughter. It will really mess her up later on (believe me!). Talk to you husband, he needs to trust her. Maybe get her one of those emergency cell phones, the one that can only dial 5 pre-programed numbers (programed by you) and 911 that way if she gets into a situation she can call for help.

Birth control is really bad for you, btw. Increased risk of cancers is proven. As for myself the only one that doesn't make me sick is an IUD and thats not an option for her.

Answer 4

I would wait about another year and then for sure put her on it I think all teenage girls should be on it! they learn how to take it everyday have regular periods less acne and then when they are ready to have s*x theres no oops  

Answer 5

his really over protective and needs to loosen up and DO NOT let him do that to her it will just make her rebell against him AND you because you let it happen

Answer 6

that's a little young don't ya think? if she has not shown any signs of trouble,i say wait. her system could be very much upset by those type of hormones so soon!
