As long as you kept your fingers crossed behind your back I don’t think it will count. Oh, hang on, maybe it’s the other way round … ?
If it was their choice then, well, good. You might have to tread a fine line between helping them think the whole thing through as they get older and upsetting/alienating/driving them deeper into it simply because teenagers know that everything their dad thinks must, by definition, be wrong.
When Mrs VB left home to go to uni she split up with her then boyfriend, who was two years older and already a medical student. The split was amicable and he said that with her best interests at heart he had just one piece of advice: Try everything except hallucinogens and be very, very wary of the Christians.
