Learned from the duck crowd.    Find the good ones early. [/quote]

I know you meant this to get a rise out of people, but this is exactly how my friend's first grand child was conceived, 17 years ago. They were exactly as OP describes her son, "responsible"... for TEENAGERS not at all responsible for adult responsibilities and parenthood.[/quote]

Numerous folks have already pointed out the craziness in allowing a high-school-aged son to travel [b]out of the country[/b] for weeks with a committed sexual partner (because that's, by definition, what a girlfriend or boyfriend is). This is practically an invitation for an unplanned pregnancy.[/quote]

Not in Sweden.

When my Swedish family came here they brought their son's girlfriend, and the two high schoolers were sleeping together. It was no big deal, and nobody got pregnant. Swedish teens are very informed about their bodies and don't have any religious hangups about sex.[/quote]

This thread isn't taking place in Sweden.[/quote]

Actually, it is:[/quote]

Only if you're playing dumb. "Out of the country" refers to out of the US, which is where his parents' norms are based, which is all that's relevant for this thread. And yes, it's weird to let your high-school-aged son travel out of the country (the country being the US for any dumb PPs reading) with a committed sexual partner while expecting anything besides hormone-led behavior. OP dropped the ball the moment they agreed to this idea.[/quote]
