captain_slinkyI need to keep in mind that Cardinal Rule of getting along with The mother-In-Law - DON'T TALK ABOUT ANYTHING!!!! Religion and Politics need to be non-issues in our house right now.
She's a big proponent of "Abstinence only", which to me is just dangerously foolish. I myself am an "Abstinence FIRST" type of a person. Preach Abstinence as the only 100% effective form of birth control, sure, but also make sure that they know how to protect themselves.
Abstinence Only is kind of like telling somebody that they don't need an alarm system or locks on their doors as long as they just keep their doors closed and don't invite anybody in. Nobody will try to come in or take your stuff as long as the doors are closed!
