I was totally against this for many reasons and on my ex’s behalf she wasn’t thrilled either but she let him go. First of all we set up a rule in our house that no one dates until at least 15 years old and that is in group settings only.
Only after they are 16 or 17 can they exclusively date someone and they have to be the same age not some person in college or Jr. High.
Second as I think we would all agree that a boy and girl at any age together for a day let alone a few days is asking for trouble. My son is 14 years old and asking him to hold in his hormones is asking a baby not to ask for candy in a candy store.
Well he went on this trip and I don’t understand what parents in their right mind would agree to this but her parents were fine with it and talked my ex into it and apparently I have no say in the matter. My son had to call me everyday and I called him a few times a day as well.
No matter what was planned or done the inevitable happened and I found this all out this past week. He was all worried she was pregnant! But later found out that she wasn’t. He didn’t want to tell me because he was afraid I would yell at him like her mother did to her.
I didn’t yell but talked to him, and we talked and talked as he cried. I told him my reaction would have been the same even if she was pregnant and I would have talked to him in love not yelled n anger. The truth is I hope I would. I think it is a fear most parents have and would like feedback on this topic.
What would you do if you found out your kid was having sex at a young age? What would you do if they were pregnant?
