[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These people obviously did not grow up in a strict catholic home in the 90’s. Basically the double life started at about age 14 and you had to lay the groundwork on and on so that your parents had no idea what was going on. I am perplexed as to what a parent would do when confronted with such obvious information. That’s a tough one.

I grew up in the strictest house with the most severe consequences and did all of the bad things anyway. I’m treating respect as a two way street in my parenting and I am seeing great results compared to the kids who are lying and sneaking around and looking for thrills. I’ve taken some of the thrill out of it by not making everything so black and white. [/quote]

I hear you. Very much the same.

The issue here is that OP's son KNEW his GF's parents objected to him staying over. He was told not to do it by his own parents, "berated" his mother about it and then went and did it anyway. It's a distinction, but an important one. Did you ever get caught sneaking around? I did once at age 16 and was grounded for a month - IN THE SUMMER. I totally deserved it and so does this kid.[/quote]
