Should promiscuous mothers tell their kids about their past?

Should mothers share with their daughters and sons details about their s*xual past? What if the mom’s past is a little racy? Should she be willing to share the sorted details of her promiscuity with her kids? What if a night of passion turned into two weeks of antibiotics? What if a one-night-stand morphed into a visit to the abortion clinic? Should a mother rush to reveal these tidbits to her children?

Pieces of the aforementioned questions are tackled in an article posted on Madame Noire entitled “SPromiscuous Women Teach S*x Lessons to Daughters.”

While I think that both fathers and mothers need to have open, balanced, age-appropriate conversations with their children about intimacy, I don’t believe that Mommy or Daddy should be required to “tell all” to their children.

Even though a personal account may enhance the lesson, these stories are not always necessary. And especially in this case, parents have a right to privacy.

But with that being said, mothers should still warn their children of the possible pitfalls that are waiting on them if they make poor relationship and intimacy choices. Parents, in general, should warn their children of the consequences of certain behaviors and choices that involve intimate relations. And if from time to time, the mom wants to disclose a certain aspect of her past to reinforce a lesson, then by all means, she should do so. But again, mothers should never feel obligated to share something that may later be used as a tool against her teachings.

Basically, to share or not to share should be left to the discretion of the parent. There aren’t any rules that should be applied when talking to your kids about the birds and the bees. Mothers should exercise wisdom, understanding, and insight when determining if it is appropriate, necessary, or beneficial to share bits and pieces of her past.

Now, I do not think that women should avoid reality and act like they’ve never had intercourse. I believe that a balanced approach to disclosure should be applied when teaching any lesson, including lessons about lovemaking.
