Fabulous to be female

The girls were shocked by my statement. The mothers all affirmed it. I told the girls (they were 15 years old) that their mothers and I want them to have a wonderful sex life. I asked the mothers if they agreed and they all nodded. The girls were dumbfounded.

We had a lot of ground to cover about sex and dating, about being female, about what a great sex life might be like for them. And cover it we did. The event was the "Dating and Sex, What's the BIG deal?" mother-daughter event that I offer for high school girls and mothers (Yes, together!).

Above all I promised the girls that we would tell them the truth about dating and sex. And we did. The mothers were grateful to have the subject broken open. Everyone participated; there were 32 of us, moms and girls mixed together. There was a lot of wisdom sharing that afternoon. Moms and girls should talk like this more often. There is so much value in bringing the generations together.
