[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, to 20:19, I liked your final message "Try to make home a happy accepting place for him so that at least he is happy there" We do our best, but I'm sure we can do better.

Regarding the penis joke, my original comment wasn't very clear. My message to him was to do what he thinks is right and that I wouldn't think any less of him if he told that sort of joke. When I was talking with him, I sensed that he felt a bit of shame for even listening to the jokes and I was trying to say that it's not a big deal. Parents have different values, but to me, it's just teenage guy talk that he will need to get used to.[/quote]

Yep, that's what I understood from it, and I agree with you, OP. You allow some of that milder stuff but make it clear where the limits are (offensive sexual stuff, slandering comments, hurtful jokes).

Your son sounds like a great, responsible boy, by the way. As a parent of daughters, I love to hear about good guys out there. [/quote]
