Ho-Lee-Sheet. Wow. I can't even pretend that I have any salient advice to give, since I can't get my 2 3/4 year old potty-trained. I only hope that, if you don't do it in this forum, you continue to keep me updated with what happened because I've already started thinking about just what you've written about.

It sounds like you've got a reasonable head on your shoulders and you'll do the right thing for your son and yourself. Good luck. I'll see you in 12 1/4 years. (Holy Crap... Is that all?)

Good luck, and I think you made the right decision. It is REALLY hard to look at them and realize we were doing such heavy-duty "grownup" things at their age, isn't it? I have a 16 year old stepdaughter, so I sympathize.

Well.........just MAYBE he's carrying it to show off. Maybe?

I shudder to think what it will be like when my daughter is 15. She's five now and she told me last week to make sure that she didn't go to the all girls private high school when the time comes (EIGHT YEARS from now) - she only wants to go to the co-ed school.

Questions I want to know 1) Where is he doing it? in the house? In her/his house? In the car? Your car? Who knows. Having a condom is alot better than not. I would be worried when Its gone. Put a little mark on it to see if this is a continuing affair, or if its "I'm 15 and I should get a condom" thing. Also, with the mark...don't make it with a needle.

Well see, that's the thing...the only time he would even have the opportunity to be alone with a girl is at the mall (and, even then, he's with a whole group of people) or at school (I mean, come on). He says he hasn't done anything yet and I believe him. We've been so open about this subject, that I honestly believe he would tell me when pressed. Would he volunteer it? Probably not. But I think he'd either tell me if I asked him or I'd know 'cause he's a sucky liar (thankfully). And, the needle business......HA HA!!

Mallrat eh? Well I know you should trust him. I did it in a field once. Like with a barn and hay and shit. It was nostalgic, but let me just say this, once is enough. Pre-college fooling around is always done in weird awful places and rushed. I am talking usually parents houses, or in my case church.

wow, gump, i bet THAT made her feel a lot better.

It may not mean much. I had a condom at 15. I finally threw it away two years later when I realized a wallet was not an effective long-term storage facility for a condom. And as is always the case, I had sex like a month or two later. Gump is right about locations though: cars in the middle of nowhere, a barn, her house when no one was home. I guess the hormones cause you to lose your mind about that kind of stuff.

This was my first entry. I love the honest and open way you write. And I really like that you said you want to be his Mom, not his friend. My Mom tried to be my friend at that age and it was a huge problem. I'm 34 now, and NOW we're friends. I think you're doing wonderfully! For whatever that's worth from a stranger. :)
