[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love all this moral high ground.

He's 17. This is normal, talking back is normal, arguing normal.

Lying not great, but again typical at this age.

Always keep lines of communication open. Very important at 17. Does that mean he gets to unilaterally do what he wants nope.

Consequenses for lying for sure.

Double talk about protection. I'd even take him to the store.

Would I allow sex in my home nope. Would I have told the girls parents their plans. Yes.  Do not want anyone who is 16 becoming pregnant on my watch. I would also tell them because that's what parents do. Will they find another place to have sex, yes.

This is so normal. [/quote]

I don't think anyone is saying this is outside the range of normal behaviors it's just that several of them are disrespectful as all get out. A 2 year old who is frustrated and bites bc they can't get another kid to leave them alone and can't articulate that is in the range of normal,but we don't think it's a good behavior to encourage!

That's a terrible analogy. Come back when your kid is out of elementary. You have no clue.[/quote]

Not the PP.  I am mom of a 16 yr old dating her BF (17) for 18 months and I think the analogy is pretty good.  I think my teen and BF are probably sexually active (she’s not sharing that with me so I can’t be sure).  They respect our rules thus far.  I love the BF.  If given the opportunity to do what’s OP described, it wouldn't surprise me if they did. It would piss me off and there would be a consequence (some sort of grounding) for such a flagrant disruption.  But, this wouldn’t happen in my house because I won’t leave my teens at home unsupervised (I may feel differently senior year (I know kids mature and change pretty quickly as teens).[/quote]
