Ok so i've noticed that my stepsons are acting more and more like the teenagers that they are. They are 11,13,15 and i've asked my husband many times that it's time for him as the dad to talk to them about sex. My middle sister was 13 when she got pregnant and even though she is an amazing mommy I would be very sad if they end up making us grandparents now! Omg just the though gives me chills... I keep telling him that when our daughter starts her prd I will explain it to her since she is a girl, what else can I say to make him understand the importance of this matter?

My son is 11 and I talk to him about sex all the time. Unfortunally your husband can't be blind to it. I honestly believe that this conversation should have taken place a long time ago. My son knows he can talk to me about anything at anytime. I started talking to him about sex, drugs, and strangers from the minute he could understand. I would keep stressing to your husband the importance of talking to the kids about sex. I am hoping he understands soon.

If he refuses to talk w/ them about it, I say step up and do so yourself. Yes, bio. mom might see that as overstepping your boundaries, as might your dh, but someone needs to- NOW.

Maybe he does not want to have to talk because

a. He is denial . He can accept the fact the boys are becoming teenagers.

b. He feel uncomfortable. He does not  know what to say

Here some websites I hope this will help him .

Yes and the thing is that they now about it cause they do "sexual" things but they just laugh about it like its a joke... I now its not my place I would hate to do something that would upset their mommy but at the same time im their mommy too and I want to keep them safe...

wow - at 15, there has been no talk?  Dangerous...very dangerous.


Time for you to kick things into high gear mama.  Sit 'em down and have it out with them. Straight on talk. Just do it - no one will die from the embarrassment!

Yikes, it is long past due for that talk.  Take the bull by the horns and do it yourself since their father and bio mother can't be bothered to do it.  At this point it is pretty scarry and dangerous that the 15 year old may not have correct info.

I'm in agreement with other previous posters... the talk should have happened already for all of them. Do it yourself if the Dad and Bio Mom won't

I would try to talk to them yourself, if you are not comfortable, i would maybe get them some books, and leave them in their rooms. In other conversations, you could tell them stories about how hard it was for your sister to have a baby at 13( and any info on her baby daddy, at whatever age) Knowing someone who had a baby that young is an exceptional real life tool to show them, it realy does happen, and its not just a bunch of talk.

Good luck!!
