My husband and I have a 16 yr old daughter. She is a huge daddy's girl and he loves it. Yesterday he came home from work early and "accidently" seen her and her bf having sex. Of course being a father he was very upset and angry. I tried to calm him down but things turned into a HUGE fight between us. when he found out that I had already put her on the pill he said that I was "encouraging" her to have sex. He even went as far as to say I was making her a slut. I tried explaining to him that I gave her MANY wait until your married talks. But when she came to me asking for birth control, I did what I felt was best for her.

Her boy friend is a very sweet boy that even my husband liked right until yesterday. He is very respectful towards my daughter, straight A student, a nice kid. Now he is refusing to allow her to see him. In my opinion I would rather have them here in my house knowing they are safe then out at some party somewhere. If they want to have sex they will find a place. How can I explain to my husband that he will hurt his relationship with her if he doesn't just let this go.

Promoting your 16 y/o daughter to have sex? That's about the stupidest idea I have ever heard! Lady, are you out of your mind? I think your husband is right...you are promoting your daughter to be a little whore! Gheez, I would have went off on everyone too!

Your husband just found out his sweet innocent baby girl... his little "daddy's girl" isn't a baby anymore. She's a woman and she's having sex. It's just a tremendous shock to him. You have seen it coming, you've had time to adjust... but you didn't clue him in so he is not prepared. He got a big shock yesterday. I think you just need to give him a little time, let his emotions calm down, and let him mourn the loss of his "baby". Then, if he's reasonable, he will come around. It's just not the right time to try to get him to talk rationally about it right now.
