[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have never let him stay over on nye. To not drive home?!? You opened the door for him to drink and not worry about driving home. You should have picked him up. Two 16 year olds do not need to spend the night over each other houses. You are not bonding at night, you are sleeping. Sleep in your own bed. [/quote]

OP here.  NYE --I didn't want him on the roads with the other drivers who are likely intoxicated...not an issue of him driving drunk.  Plus he and his friends don't drink.  As for me picking him up...same issue.  I don't want to be on the roads.  If you think risking it to pick up your kid on NYE is worth it, that is your decision.  I feel I made the right decision under the circumstances.  Something about the tone of your post makes me believe you are an unhappy person PP.  Try not to be so judgmental.[/quote]

They don't drink?  Really, how do you know this? Are you a mom from that show Black Mirror where kid has a video implant and mom can see everything? I am sorry to tell you, but you are extremely naïve, blind or both. The best of teens here drink, the worst of teens drink, non stop, they are just hiding it really good from a naïve parent like you. Probably even the girlfriend's parents don't know that kids drank, they sneak it in no matter where and when. You need to get a reality check.[/quote]

OP here.  That's right, they don't drink.  I am confident of this fact.  I am friendly with one of the other parents of his group of friends, and that is what we both like about this crowd.  They are studious nerdy types.  They like to go ice skating, watch movies, and play board games.  The other mom told me her kid doesn't want to drink because he doesn't want to lose control.  My DS has no interest at all and knows about my father's history of alcoholism.  I actually offered him a taste of Baileys over the holidays and he turned it down.  Believe it or not, there ARE kids out there who don't want to drink and parents who know this fact.  Sorry you don't have kids like this, but don't judge parents who know their kids and what they are up to.   Does my DS drink?  No.  Will he take a drink next week?  I don't know.  But I DO know he is not in situations where alcohol flows because he doesn't hang with that crowd.  My DS is not perfect and I am pretty astute when it comes to finding out his wrong doings.  This is not one of them.

As for the sex (as in intercourse), I don't know for sure.  DS never even kissed a girl before this girl.  I had a talk with him when he started getting serious with her (she was a friend for several months before they became romantic), and he said they "aren't doing that."  I believe him because if he were, he would have simply taken my advice and not said anything.  Again, is he having sex?  Probably not.  Will he do it next week.  No way to know.[/quote]
