Patty Skudlarek strives to be a responsible parent. That's why she says she told her 18-year-old son that if he wants to have sex, not only is she okay with it, but she'd prefer that he do it in the family home.

"I'd rather he … do it here than somewhere else," Skudlarek told "Good Morning America." "With the kids having sex at home, it's a safer environment, because, you know, it's clean … and usually the place they keep the condoms are in their bedroom.

"So then they're close by. And it's just ... an environment they're familiar with, as opposed to a motel, a car or a park, or wherever they're doing it, these days."

Skudlarek isn't alone. The Internet message boards are abuzz, telling the story of a small but growing number of parents who are allowing their teenagers to have sex at home.

Heather Blackmore is aware of the chatter. An article she posted this month about a woman who allows her teenage son to have sex with his girlfriend in his bedroom set off a firestorm, with some accusing the mother of running a "cheap motel."

Blackmore says that was not the woman's intent.

"I think … it was more of the attitude, 'Well, kids are going to do it anyway. Why not make it so that it-- it's in a comfortable, safer environment,' as opposed to in a woods," she said.

Some parents – like Chloe Foreht – say allowing teens to have sex at home ensures they have somewhere to run if anything goes wrong. She allowed her 17-year-old daughter to engage in a sexual relationship with her longtime boyfriend in the family home.

"I was okay with her having sex in my home because of the relationship she was in, because of the teenager that she is … her boyfriend would sleep over probably once a week. And I was comfortable with that," Foreht said.

She joined three other parents of teens to discuss the issue with "Good Morning America" contributor Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

Ritchie Steinmann, the father of two teens, was against the idea.

"I draw the assimilation between sex in the home and drinking … You don't drink in my home. You know, you don't bring home a girl or a boy, you know, and close the door and run around in my home. You know, it's the decency and sanctity of what we call home," he said.

Foreht disagreed.

" I think that they're really completely different issues. And I think that, you know, my daughter … does have respect for our home."

She also said she believed that hidden sex could be more risky.

"If they're having it outside the home … who knows who they're having it with? You know, it's -- there's a bigger chance, I think, of less safe sex, maybe more different partners. You know, not understanding that it is something that is okay if you're doing it with somebody you really care about and you want to do it and, you know, you're not all drunk at a party."

Some of the panelists seemed to long for earlier times when teens would steal away to have sex in the back seat of cars.

"I'm not sure that I personally would feel comfortable being at home knowing that my teenager is having sex in the next room," Carolyn Meyer-Wartels, who has two teens, said, laughing. "And I think that parents do need to create boundaries in the home and say things like, 'I don't think you're ready to be doing this. I don't think you're ready to be doing this here or anywhere, for that matter. '"

Steinmann worried other about consequences.

Top 5 Prime Suspects for January Jones' Baby Daddy - ABC News / EntertainmentFacebook?ESPN?ABCHot Topics:

"Mad Men" star January Jones welcomed her first child last week, a baby boy, but we're no closer to learning who the father of the baby is.

Jones gave birth to son Xander Dane Jones Sept. 13, her rep confirmed to People.

That explains her absence from Sunday's Emmy Awards, where "Mad Men" picked up a fourth award for best drama.

But it's the drama surrounding her son's father that has tongues wagging.

"I think you can allow people to know as much as you want them to know," her co-star, Elizabeth Moss, told E! online. "And I've seen many people do it very successfully. ... Some people don't mind and some people mind."

Jones seems to fall into the second camp, but that doesn't stop us from listing who the prime suspects for her mystery baby daddy might be. Click through to see the top five.

GABRIEL BOUYS/AFP/Getty ImagesMatthew Vaughn

E! Online first reported that Matthew Vaughn, the director of Jones' most recent film, "X-Men: First Class," had a "very close" relationship with the actress on set.

Vaughn, who is married to former supermodel Claudia Schiffer, strongly denied any affair.

Still, he remains a prime suspect after he "abruptly" left town, according to E!, around the same time Jones made her surprise announcement in April that she was expecting.

He also skipped a screening of the film, claiming "severe" tonsillitis, although E! claimed he was talkative during "X-Men" interviews earlier that day.

Theo Wargo/Getty ImagesJason Sudeikis

Jones was most recently linked to "SNL" actor Jason Sudeikis, although he claims not to be the father.

A tongue-tied Sudeikis told a Washington Post reporter when asked at the White House Correspondents Dinner whether he had any comment about Jones' baby bump: "I'd rather -- yes but no."

When the reporter asked Sudeikis if he was surprised to find out Jones was pregnant, he stammered, "No, I -- no, I didn't have anything [else to say]."

Matt Carr/Getty ImagesMichael Fassbender

Jones was still filming "X-Men: First Class" at the beginning of the year, leading many to suspect that her baby daddy was one of her famous co-stars.

The man most in contention was Michael Fassbender, the German-born Irish actor best known for his role in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds."

Even though Fassbender reportedly began dating another "X-Men" co-star, Zoe Kravitz, that hasn't stopped some gossip websites from speculating that Kravitz is just a cover to take the heat off Fassbender as a possible baby daddy for Jones.

Michael Hickey/Getty ImagesBobby Flay

Sure, grillmaster Bobby Flay seems like a long shot to be Jones' baby daddy.

Then again it was odd when Flay was the person Jones called for help after she crashed her Range Rover into several parked cars in June. For one thing, Flay is married to actress Stephanie March.

Flay's publicist, Jennifer Baum, said he was watching the Lakers-Celtics game with Jones and a group of friends earlier in the evening at the London West Hollywood Hotel. Although they had met only once before -- when Jones gave Flay her number because she wanted to remodel her kitchen -- she called on Flay for help after the crash.

Baum said Flay went to the scene to check on her.

Kevin Winter/Getty ImagesXander Berkeley

This one seems way to obvious.

Married actor Xander Berkeley did the film "Seeking Justice" with Jones last year, but it seems unlikely she would name her baby after Berkeley if she were trying to keep an affair between them secret.

Then again, stranger things have happened in Hollywood.

True, according to travel experts flying Wednesday is in fact the cheapest day to fly.

According to leading airline ticket comparison websites, choosing to fly midweek will have you purchasing cheaper tickets than choosing to fly any other time of the week. People look to purchase tickets to fly on or around the weekend, causing flights to be more expensive because of this high demand. So, your best bet is to avoid high traffic days and focus on traveling on days that are less in demand, Wednesday. The next best day is Tuesday, however due to a lesser amount of airplanes in use this day prices may be slightly higher.

Because they can't seem to get enough of reality TV, Gary Busey and disgraced pastor Ted Haggard will swap partners for an upcoming episode of "Celebrity Wife Swap."

Haggard, the former New Life Church pastor, and his wife, Gayle, will appear in the spinoff of the ABC reality series, along with bad boy actor Busey and his baby mama Steffanie Sampson.

The episode will tape today at the GLBT Pride Center in Colorado Springs, according to ColoradoSprings.com.

Neither Haggard nor Busey are strangers to reality television. After Haggard saw his life crumble when he was caught in an affair with a gay male prostitute, he made appearances on countless talk shows, including "The Oprah Winfrey Show." He and his wife also appeared on a 2009 episode of "Divorce Court."

Now admitting he may be bisexual, Haggard was also featured in documentaries on TLC and HBO.

Busey is an alum of both "Celebrity Rehab" and "Celebrity Apprentice."

Besides having reality television in common, both claim to be reformed bad boys.

Busey, a born-again Christian, is an active minister with Promise Keepers. Haggard has returned to the ministry as pastor of the non-denominational St. James church in Colorado Springs
