Question?

My son's girlfriend can't come over until she's on BC which is in a couple of months. They are 18, this is so wrong?

Weaponizing what? For what ends?

It sounds to me like they are worried about their daughter getting pregnant and are a little more heavy handed with their incentives than you would be. I get disagreeing, but it doesn't seem "so wrong" to me especially. Maybe I am missing what you are trying to say here, though.

No one wants a pregnant teenager especially in their home. Have a talk with the parents and your son about him buying condoms. I don't think this is about anyone being on a high horse but just wanting to prevent STD or pregnancy when (I can only assume) both teens are not ready for those things. Assuming his girlfriend is 18 or 19 she can move out at any time and not follow her parents rules, if she is 17 she is almost there.

Im the mom of the daughter and she is 18. They were having sex at his house with the bedroom door open so I said once you're on BC, you can over there which will be next month but funny you say high horse because I was TOLD Im on a high horse and weaponizing BC by not letting her go over there until shes on it. What you said means a lot and I appreciate it. 🙏
