Well, the situation has smoothed over and the atmosphere was relaxed again before we all went to sleep last night... Amber was a total sport about it!
Ironically, she has just recently admitted to her Dad and me that she has been sexually active with her boyfriend

. Mike had a long talk with her (her mother took her to get her on the pill about 6 months ago and they kept it a secret from Mike), so I think having admitted that to us it made her a little more understanding about the situation.
Mike's obviously not to thrilled to know his 17 year old daughter is being sexually active with her boyfriend, but she is being very responsible about it (we hope!!)... She is the last of her friends to have "held out" but she's been with this boy for about 8 months, so in all honesty, I'm glad she waited as long as she did, even though I know her Dad would want her to be a virgin until she's married (LOL, he remembers being a teenage boy too

)
