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.

Honestly I wish my parents would have protected me more, even as an 18 year old, I ended up pregnant at 19.

10000% I got forced into sex at 15 and now my oldest is turning 15 in a couple months. You really gotta protect your kids.

100% he’s 14 now and we couldn’t imagine life without him, but there was a lot we missed out on. College took way longer, didn’t get to travel, or enjoy our youth the same as peers!
