I'm just not sure that its a fathers place to discuss birth control with his daughter. His idea of birth control is likey in the form of a hand gun.
Women supporting women is a beautiful thing. Be that support for your girls! I highly doubt that they want to talk to their dad about sex, or birth control.

My parents' didn't talk to me as I was growing up about anything much less sex or birth control. It is important for you to let him know the risks in not talking to them. Sometimes the school counselors office has small booklets on different subjects like talking to your kids about drugs, sex, etc. check with them! Also the health department may be able to give you some information...Research the risks of not talking to them so that way you will have a reason behind you!! I am a mother now and when you believe it is time for your daughters to be talked to about ANYTHING go ahead and do it before its to late!!

assalam wa alykum sister at the starting up u ought to thank Allah who has guided u in route of gentle. Al-Mumenoon | The Believers Sura # 23 | Makkah a million. efficient certainly are the believers, 2. who're humble of their prayers, 3. And who keep aloof from what's ineffective, 4. And who're givers of adverse-fee, 5. And who look after their deepest aspects, 6. except before their associates or those whom their precise fingers own, for they really aren't to any extent further blamable, 7. yet whoever seeks to pass previous that, those are they that exceed the bounds; 8. and those who're keepers of their trusts and their covenant, 9. and those who keep a glance after on their prayers; 10. those are they who're the heirs, 11. Who shall inherit the Paradise; they shall abide therein.

How old are they and how often are they home after school? How many friends do they have? If they have lots of friends and are not home a lot than they probably are sexually active they just don't tell you. If you discuss birth control with them then you are just saying its okay for them to have sex. If I where you I would tell them the opposite don't have sex and don't give in to pear pressure.

Just tell him that you are trying to protect him in the future. If they become pregnant or get an STD then both of you will end up with that financial burden.
You don't even really have to involve them, just talk to them about it.
One of the best thigns I ever did was a mother/daughter weekend retreat. We talked about all of those things with the other teens, while moms talked by themselves. It was great! Maybe check if there's one in your area.

I think you should politely have a conversation with im alone, telling him that his little baby girls are growing up. There's nothing wrong with being aware of certain things in life. Also tell him that you're not telling them to have sex, you juust want them to be carefl, because everyone is not perfect, and you don't want to raise grandkids while your kids are still teenagers!He'll understnd. maybe he'll come around.

Was he sexually active as a teenager ? If you don't know, ask.
If yes, say "Honey, I know you don't even like to think about this,
but you (and I (if you were) ) sexually active as teenagers. It happens even more now, these days. I'd rather our children learn about sex and birth control from us, than learn wrong things from their friends. If you don't want to talk to them about it with me, then I'll do it alone. Given the amount of life threatening STDs around, these days. I'd rather discuss it with them before it's too
late and one of them ends up with something."
If he gives you any BS about it simply tell him that you love your daughters and if he doesn't love them enough to want them to have enough info to protect themselves then there is the door.

I doubt your daughter would say at the supper table, hey mom just told us about condoms! I'd say, have a girls night and talk about it without Dad. Ignorance is dangerous. Good luck!

ur there mom and a girl u have more experience than he does in that area. but dont keep him outta da loop tell him that its either they go on birthcontrol and not become pregnant or we deny them that and they have sex and get pregnant. now he might say that by giving them birth control they will become sexually acitve, eventually they will, but id reather they be safe and use protecton than have sex and get pregnant. just approch it calmly listen to what he has to say and respond calmly. good luck!

he should be happy that you want to talk to your kids about birth control, because some kids are less fortunate to have someone willing to tell them about stuff like this and they end up getting pregnant, whether you think they are sexually active or not has nothing to do with it, if you feel that you really need to talk to your kids about this then you need to with consent or not.
