Dr. Laura

So my husband and I frequently switch vehicles between our trusty 10 year old Honda Accord and his not so trusty and dirty 15(?) year old truck. Whomever is going the furthest gets the car to save on gas since the truck is a gas guzzler.
Anyways, I got into the Honda the other day and Dr. Laura was on the radio. I don't usually listen to talk radio like he does but I didn't feel like changing it. Dr. Laura was reading a letter that someone had written her that was telling about how she had taken a human sexuality class while in college and the professor was leading a discussion that day where everyone was sharing all of the details of their first sexual experience (when, where, who, how, etc.). Sounds quite different from the human sexuality course I had at OBU with Dr. Camp. The woman writes that she politely declined to share anything as it was not a requirement but tells Dr. Laura that her first sexual experience was in fact on her wedding night. She was not ashamed of this fact by any means but felt it was better to be modest about something so private. I thought how admirable and understandable for her to feel that way.
For me the clencher of the whole letter was how the woman wrote about how nearly all of the stories that the other students shared were of how they were in high school during their first "experience" and had plenty of opportunities at their empty houses because both of their parents worked outside of the home and weren't home for several hours after they got home from school. The woman shared how she had never had those kind of opportunities as her mother was always a "stay at home mom" and so is she herself now.
Now I don't think it is practical for a lot of people to still be stay at home moms when their kids are teenagers (as it is pretty expensive) but it did give me some "food for thought." Maybe I will just have to find a job that puts me home by 3:00 when my kids are teenagers :).
