While also saying, "It's not your fault, you've done nothing wrong, due to developmental issues my daughter just isn't mature enough to have a boyfriend"? I don't think so.

Okay, I've just come up with a rule of thumb:

If you can't have a relationship with someone without getting in their pants, then you're not ready for a serious relationship.

OK, I'm a bit of an outlier on this one, but seriously? That's not sensible advice for a 18 yo. . .Most of his potential partners won't fit them for a long time.

The "secure place to live" and "birth control" would have been helpful at least - revealing after having sex that "oh hey, mom will totally throw me out of the house if she even finds out I have a BF, much less what she'll do if she finds out you fucked me" falls under the "secure place to live" category.
