If you think that hearing about you doing something dangerous will make your kid do it, why didn't hearing all the shit you brag about make them do all those things? I never heard a kid say well Mom says she used to play outside instead of playing video games so I'm going to throw out my Xbox! Kids can bond with you from hearing about how you're a real person, and part of being a real person is having a past where you made choices, some good and some bad. Honestly, I can't think of a better way to make your kid never want to have sex than to tell them that you did it because THEY DON'T THINK WE'RE COOL, GUYS. :) The real thing you're worried about is that they think you're a hypocrite... so try and work on any hypocrisy rather than hiding from your kid that you are a real human.

Should You Tell Your Kids You Drank/Used Drugs/Had Premarital Sex?
