My son is 14 and asked to have his girlfriend over tonight. I said fine but gave him one rule. They were not allowed to go into his bedroom. She got here at 5:00. The first hour was spent IN HIS ROOM. No big deal I just figured I will ground him later instead of embarassing him. They were listening to music and talking with the door open and his sister bugging them every couple of minutes like little sisters do.
I finally got a little fed up with it and said "Out here...you know the rule". Now they are sitting on the couch with a blanket over them. I am not sure if I am being too hard on him, or too easy on him. UGH. Every time she stands up, she is pulling her tank top up. Other than that they are in plain sight with my 10 year old bugging them every five minutes.
Any words of wisdom for me? I will be having a nice long talk with my son tonight, but I am so mad right now. Maybe I will wait untill morning.
I got pregnant with him at 15 and know kids that age are usually begining to think about sex. I am the opposite of niavee (sp?) I feel way too overprotective. I never thought before tonight to ask what they do when they are at her house. It's his first "girlfriend" as a teen and I think I am being blindsighted by this one. My fault...I know. I have met her parents and they are nice.
I could ask my mom for advice but that is pointless. She would think it's cute. Everything he does is "cute" he could spit in my face and she would think it was cute...luckily he would never even consider doing anything like that. He is a good kid with a 4.038 hard earned grade point average. I want to save him from my mistakes. Not to shelter him, but to make sure he has the best future I can give him.
I'll take all the advice I can get tonight. Hopefully tomorrow I will have calmed down enough about the blanket escapades.
Thanks for listening,
Bobbie
