I figure I read them as a teen and turned out just fine. It’s important to realize (and for us as parents to teach) that fiction/fantasy is just that. Be it books, tv, movies, even the news ;)

As for Twilight, 3 of my kids have read the books and all have seen the first movie. I’ve also read the books and saw the first movie.

Honestly, if one of my girls wanted to read them, I would plug and chug through them and then discuss after.

I heard from another mother that the sex scene from the first book was deleted by the author (an LDS) lady before publication. Is that true?

The guy also will not sleep with her until marriage, right? Something to be said for that.

Oh and I read those books as a teen and I didn’t turn out fine.
I looked for years for the “Perfect” guy. At 30 I realized there wasn’t one. Luckily at 34 my DH decided I was okay.
