   I am the mother of a 13 year old daughter who has a 15 year old boyfriend. Having recently discovered her diary and yes, I am guilty to say, I read it too..... I have discovered that she is experimenting in sexual activity.... nothing penetrative but nevertheless more than I would wish her to be doing as a parent.
   I always tried to instil values in my children and I thought I could trust her. I have tried to approach her in a roundabout way without letting her realise I know what she is up to, but all she says is "dont you trust me?" making me feel guilty.
   How do I handle this situation? Please help someone before she goes the whole way and gets herself pregnant.

   Just thought I'd share this with you. Most mothers take at least 6 months to a years maternity leave after having a baby (or thereabouts)
   My local jobcentre allow 3 weeks! crazy or what? My mate gave birth by emergency caesarian 3 weeks ago, and they want her to attend a work focused interview. She is very tired and in pain, and also has a 2 year old and a 6 year old.
   Her and her hubby are on jobseekers allowance, and because he has been unemployed for a year, they are picking on her. Hubby is fit and healthy, he just cant be ar*ed to work.
   She, however is run ragged with the housework and kids and is now expected to work as well!
   Plus, the other day, I got a leaflet through my door advertising a local nursery which is open from 7am-7pm and takes babies from 6 weeks for God's sake! Obviously for those who have a baby and decide motherhood isn't for them.
   My 2 kids are teenagers now, but until they were in school, I looked after them myself, and that's the way it should be. No wonder this country is going to the dogs!

   To stressed mum with child who is a fussy eater,
   This is difficult there are three ways to go about it one way is to find out what the childs favourite food is and give that to her. The second way is to get her to help you prepare the food such as getting the saucpans etc out of the cupboard, lay the table etc. Then of course there is the third way of putting what you want her to eat in front of her and tell thats all she is going to get or go hungry. I think the first and second ways may work better though. Hope this helpful it wont be easy so the best of luck.
