As parents of teens, you not only want what's best for your children but you also want to think the best of them. Here are some statements that parents hoped were true but eventually wished that they hadn't said. See if you can relate to any of them.

2. Alcohol? Nope! My sister was an alcoholic. My daughter knows about the problems related to drinking.
3. Of course, my daughter is not sexually active.
4. My child would never gossip.
5. I wish that my son would be more like my neighbor's son.
6. Sexting?! Not my kid.
